This is such a misleading headline. To put it in perspective, imagine the difference between "1 in 5 Americans have wrestled an alligator" and "1 in 5 Americans say that at least once in their life they have met someone who claims that they have wrestled an alligator"

Apropos of nothing, have you ever gotten a toddler to eat their dinner by offering them pasta with cheesy sauce and tiny trees but definitely NOT that awful mac and cheese with broccoli that induced the current meltdown?

I was today years old when I learned from @carlzimmer.com that using UV light to eliminate airborne viruses in school has been an option since *1936*. And yet we're still fighting to open the windows. What a cap to a day of amazing airborne science with @kprather.bsky.social

Also, a reviewer tried to make me take this line out on the rationale that women's caregiving exhaustion from covid was not 'relevant' to the science. Which...absolutely not. So please enjoy my party trick of being able to explain why *everything* is actually about gender.
