Exciting news: My work will appear in the upcoming edition of Best American Science and Nature Writing!! The 2025 editor, Susan Orlean, selected an essay I wrote for Sequencer about trying to train my color vision.

I came across an article about school closures from 1958 in an old LIFE Mag. Was struck by the POVs of white students on integration.

This was less than 70 years ago

I traveled to Las Vegas before Trump won reelection for a "skeptics conference" where I spoke with experts about how scientific misinformation spreads within communities.

What does it mean to be an expert?

Our communities are so so important. Also important: embracing uncertainty

A year ago I started clipping, framing, and selling old ads and this "blocks of text" and references always caught me off guard. They also looooved inventing words

The Latin is definitely surprising too. I wonder if there was a forgotten pop culture reference at the time

Friendly reminder: Don't throw turkey bones in the garbage tomorrow, turn them into a tonnnn of broth! It's easy

I don't eat much meat anymore after a Friendsgiving last week, I rescued carcass, lugged it home in a trash bag, boiled it, & voila. YOU BETTER BELIEVE I'm gonna make a mean pot of rice
