My entire career. I started a podcast as a hobby with no media experience, no connections, just a mic and some free time. Built an audience, met collaborators and made friends purely through social media. Now science communication is my actual job that I get paid to do
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

In the book I'm on right now, published in 1961 but set in an advanced future with interplanetary travel, a character's parentage was just revealed, and another character (a medical professional!) asked "How do they know?" & the answer had to do with blood types and hair/eye color lmao
reading mid-century science fiction is really interesting because they imagined in the 21st century we'd have vacation homes on Mars and robot butlers but no cell phones
