This is not what the problem is. We have many excellent, talented, engaging science communicators.
Their reach is deliberately truncated by the social media companies, and billionaire-owned news outlets do not platform them.

Scientists are partly to blame by not learning to effectively communicate in lay language on modern communication channels. That information void is then ripe for disinformation to fill.
Embed lay comms & accessibility skills into academia.

Democrats in Congress: Hold the line.
Do not back these bills that jeopardize DC’s right to govern itself.
DC is a testing ground for tactics that MAGA will try across the country.
Vote NO, and focus on helping struggling families afford health care.

This week the House is set to vote on two bills targeting D.C.'s criminal justice laws. One would repeal a 2020 city law that imposed new training, discipline, and disclosure standards on police. The other would bring cash bail back to D.C. 30 years after it was eliminated.
We stand united against all 13 anti–DC Home Rule bills in Congress.
DC is home to more than 700,000 residents who pay taxes, run businesses, and serve in the military. Like all Americans, we deserve the right to set our own local laws.
Congress should reject this unprecedented federal overreach.

Violent crime in DC dropped 35% last year and is down another 28% this year, yet Republicans are acting as if we’re in a crisis that justifies extraordinary federal overreach.
I’m heading to the House floor today to oppose two anti–home rule bills and released my remarks ahead of the debate.

The DC Council was elected by DC residents.
Council members are the appropriate elected officials to make DC laws, not Republican members of Congress representing the interests of far-away districts.

One of my take-home prizes from Covid is that my taster is still off. The only place it shows up with any consequence though is with water. Water tastes gross - all water. Bitter and a little moldy. I've switched to herbal tea at home, but it's really cramping my style to be this dehydrated

After telling queer folk that Target isn't a store for them, their stock is worth now what it was worth during the pandemic, when people couldn't visit their store.
You know what? Good. Pretending to support all Americans until you thought you could get away w/backing fascism? Yeah, fuck Target.

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders.
If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ.
The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.

Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.

Brevetoxins are potent neurotoxins produced by certain algae and cause significant health problems (“red tide” is one form). Even if you don’t care about marine life, you can get sick and even die just from breathing air near a shoreline w/ brevetoxin-producing algae. Climate change will kill us all
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) spread across 20,000 km2 & resulted in the deaths of millions of marine animals, from at least 550 species
Scientists found a novel, significant brevotoxin-producing algal species, Karenia cristata, in the multispecies Karenia HAB—1st time brevetoxins have been found in 🇦🇺
