Thanks Euan, looking forward to listening after work. I'm sure you did amazing! And am right there with you hoping I did her justice too, while never having written an obituary before 🙈

Absolutely. Forever grateful for all the ways she's inspired so many of us 💚

Yep, that's spot on. It's not a lack of access to information, it's tribal loyalty, which has become even more of a factor the more polarized our societies have become.

Especially challenging when researchers are on the other side of the world so you're not even in the same time zone to ask them for it 😂😅

Lovely tribute 😊 I only just finally watched the last season. As soon as I realized their plan for the farm I bawled 🤣 So good!!

There's a massive flock here in Abbotsford atm, along the river, like 50 or more. Way larger than I've seen in previous years.

That's a myth. COVID, however, is known to cause ongoing damage to our immune cells.

You're most definitely a very effective science communicator who happens to use illustrations, so I think that for sure counts as a modern science illustrator. You've totes got this!!! 🙂

Find it helps a li'l knowing many are fake. 1000s of fake accounts can swarm at posts using key words like vaccines/climate. They're there to make it feel like we're in the minority, muddy the information and unfortunately it's effective, but many are not genuine pple
