Snipped below from my post on Substack about Why Science Matters even for non-academic people! 🧪🌋
I’m biased. I grew up loving all types of science and want everyone else to learn about them too. The earliest physical object I remember buying was a pack of volcanic rocks from Mount Vesuvius...

Love seeing journals move towards more open access content
Open data is becoming essential. Our State of Open Data report suggests open data is on brink of becoming standard, and sharing data helps create a more equitable research ecosystem. This blog looks at how and why research data should be shared: spklr.io/63329BH7E9

Writing on Substack now! Sample:
I shunned liberal arts for most of high school and college. I wanted to focus on math and science, so used that as an excuse to take most of the easier English and Social Studies classes I could find...

For readers & creators using Substack: curious what you all think about it? Seems like a great mix of both long form (Posts) and short form (Notes) content, with the option to embed audio podcasts. Let me know what you think!

A few days ago, I asked ChatGPT's help fix something in my code (the dropdown and legend were not working together properly). I said "dropdown and legend are filtering to different values"
ChatGPT said, "Goal: Make legend and dropdown stay in sync."

Does anyone have a newsletter going out every time they release a podcast episode?
If so, which program do you use to send them? And how many newsletter followers do you have per podcast followers?

New podcast up this week about the Science and Stats behind podcasts! I got to speak with a PhD candidate at the University of Washington who collects and analyzes data behind how guests & ideas spread across different channels. Different from what I normally do, but still very cool stuff! 🧪🔬🎙️

I try not to play favorites with my guests but the episode I'm currently editing has got to be one of my favorites so far — we talk about planetary formation in our early solar system, climate change, science funding, historical earthquakes, how different cultures study #Astronomy, and more!

Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level rise, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. 🧪
Warming of +1.5 °C is too high for polar ice sheets - Communications Earth & Environment
Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level rise, meaning that only a return to +1 °C or lower will avoid extensive loss and damage to coastal populations, according to a synthesis of recent evidence.

I host David Zabner, 4th year PhD Candidate at Tufts University, to tell me all about his research — improving Computer Science education! David tells me about his background and projects he’s done to improve education at different levels, comparing Comp Sci to learning a second language. 🧪💻📚

This week I host Amanda Calhoun, PhD candidate at Harvard! Amanda uses carbon isotopes to uncover signs of ancient life, and also uses pyrite (fool’s gold!) to understand Earth’s oxygen history.
