I was just on twitter for a minute. Saw some terrible hate speech against a foreign researcher, reported it, and "noped" right back to BlueSky.

I love that the anti-vaxxers are pissed about Tylenol being called out for autism. "No!! That crazy unproven theory shouldn't be getting attention! Only our crazy thoroughly debunked theory should be getting attention!"🤪

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

More than a decade ago, I started making tutorial videos on how to use Adobe illustrator, targeted at scientists that needed to make figures and cartoons for talks or papers.
Now I'm getting started again, but this time with the free and open source vector editor Inkscape 🧪
