Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

I woke up with Jon Batiste singing in my head. He has a new album called Beethoven Blues, which is just what you would imagine. While I was looking for it a couple weeks ago, I came on his cover of What a Wonderful World. Now it’s stuck in my head and I’m so glad!

Journalist friends, if you’re covering #SharkWeek , let’s chat. If I don’t know the answer I can help you find a credible expert who does, and teach you to avoid clowns and snake oil salesmen.

Back in February, I teamed up with @bsky.app to make a comic explaining what makes Bluesky so special.

I wanted to share this again, to welcome all the newskies. It's great to have you here 🙂

Welcome to Bluesky! 💙🦋

Check out BookSky for good chats and ideas for new reads. A lot of folks are doing a book challenge, listing a book a day that had an impact. It’s eclectic, y’all.

I opened up Bluesky and immediately saw real science. Yay! Starter packs are great too. I’m going exploring today.

Hello, new Bluesky friends.

On the old site, you could generate “buzz” and “clout” and all that shit by saying outrageous and provocative things to generate rage clicks.

Here we’re not going to argue or debate with obvious nonsense. We’re just going to block you and never think about you again.
