Canuck 🇨🇦transplant in Pittsburgh. #SciComm, #HigherEd, subversive craftiness, mackerel tabbies. Always learning.
Thank you Poetry Foundation for sharing this gorgeous “Poem of the Day” by Oladejo Abdullah Feranmi. I needed it. I highly recommend subscribing to this e-list for a daily balm against news horrors.

“Thanks to the clouds on fire, the burning sunset,
And every diminishing as beautiful as time.”

In early Jan 2020 I worked at an Ontario research institute where I shared news clips with our MD/PhDs. I always included clips from @helenbranswell.bsky.social, but I wasn’t sure if a virus in Wuhan was relevant. Lesson: always listen to Helen Branswell when she’s worried. (And yes I included it.)

Ending my dormancy to share news & a shoutout to @publicsourcepa.bsky.social. Last year when my hubby @fritzroth.bsky.social floated a move to Pittsburgh I started my deep dive on all things Yinzer. It was Public Source’s guide that convinced me I could make this city my home. #localjournalism

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Here near the #pathoftotality I keep seeing cynical comments that media outlets are overhyping the #eclipse. But I love that people are excited about astronomy & science. This phenomenon is the sort of experience that will inspire career paths for future scientists and that’s nothing but fantastic.
