“Deciding the line between non-life and life is not interesting. What’s important is the process.” Great talk by Jack Szostak at #SciWri25

Thread on our New Horizons session on environmental and health impacts of data centers 👇

#SciWri25
Next #SciWri25 session is all about those data centers. Will learn if they are good, bad, ugly or all 3.
I would love it if public discourse on data centers could be just a skosh more sophisticated than "data centers good vs. data centers bad."

Thank you to David Awschalom for calling on the #SciWri25 community to help prepare the public for the quantum future.

Pro tip for #sciwri #sciencewriters meeting: tie a knot in your lanyard so your name tag is near your face & won’t flip around & nobody has to do the awkward navel gaze to read it

want to be on TikTok to communicate science but "not good at TikTok"? Collaborate with someone who *is* good at it. We don't have to be good at everything, says Rudy Molinek. #sciwri25 🧪

I have MADE IT to Chicago for #SciWri25! Truly surprised that I didn't get snared by flight madness. This is my first National Association of Science Writers conference, which is wild.

Come find me if ya wanna talk about podcasting — or anything else! 👋🤓

It's #SciWri25 week! As you transit through O’Hare, check out the airport's new quantum computing exhibit (near the dinosaur, of course).

Then, hear @uchicagopme.bsky.social's David Awschalom talk about this technology’s impacts at the 13th Patrusky lecture.
