Greased in lard, goggles sealed with candle wax, eating chicken legs handed down on a pole. Mid-storm, her trainer screamed for her to come out. Gertrude Ederle kept swimming — and beat every man who'd ever crossed the Channel by two hours.

Just out: our study indicated that framing quantum as enigmatic does not affect engagement, while explaining quantum physics positively influences general interest. :qed:

I'm seeing folks around the world posting about 'anti-vax' and 'anti-mask' pushes ...call me crazy...but it really doesn't seem organic. It seems like there is some astroturf misinformation manipulating people to work against their own health and safety.
I've spent much of my life working to increase Science Literacy, and I'm finding it hard to believe so many are behaving so much against their own chance of survival organically.
For example, why is RFK Jr in the job he has?

He flew economy, carried his own bags, and hired a PR firm to keep his name out of the papers. At 80, with a bad back, Daniel K. Ludwig chased a photographer down a Manhattan sidewalk and tried to put him in a half-Nelson. America's richest man.

Mike Brown: Have a seat, Pluto. Let’s look straight at your Q2 KPIs. To be completely transparent with you, your numbers are a black hole.
Pluto: Come on, Mike. I know this game. Eris, your golden child, ratted me out just to steal my parking spot for her pretentious pink Hummer.

Here's your brand-new #SciComm guide for scientists:

Most important sentence: "Before implementing any of the practices proposed below, it is critical to understand *who* you are trying to reach."
If you have access to Cell trough your organization, you'll have access to this paper.

Before breakfast: weightlifting, wrestling, steeplechasing. Daily. At 29, with her son strapped to her back, she rode 100 miles, took Gwalior, and died in the saddle in trousers and a turban. The general who killed Rani Lakshmibai filed the verdict.

Talking to Amy Imhoff meant bringing together several of my favourite things: #space, #geography, #StarTrek, #SciComm, feminist media, public engagement, and the kind of wonderfully nerdy conversation where you begin with astronomy and somehow end up at #TaylorSwift.

This lab has been successful in getting press interest, which is helping them with fundraising.
Someone should organize a webinar with whichever lab members are in charge of their #SciComm , social media, and media training because they are getting results.

PaleoCon continues tomorrow at Western Science Center. Our visiting scientists will have “show-and-tell” tables to talk about their work, we’ll have paleoart demos, a reading of paleo-inspired poetry, and presentations by our Teen Ambassadors. If you’re in southern #California stop by! #palaeontology #paleontology #scicomm #museum

There was no real traffic and I was early and I met Jess Walters! Patient Advocate, artist at the UVA Center for Health Humanities and Ethics. They gave me their card and a zine in which cats quote Shakespeare!! #scicomm #zines

Our 4th annual #PaleoCon workshop is going on at Western Science Center this week. More than a dozen paleontologists, writers, and artists spend 3days at the #museum doing research & outreach. Today they’re meeting 6th grade students from Western Center Academy. #paleontology #palaeontology #scicomm #FossilFriday

Six thousand works. One cloak, no shoes, the floor for a bed. A father lost to the executioner, a mother who hid the boy's clothes to keep him home. Then Origen of Alexandria read one verse in Matthew, and called the physician.

In about a month, I'm going to be running Cell Biology workshops with kids, on the first day, And then just my Science Art for the rest of the weekend, and this year's Maker Faire Bay Area.
The one thing that I'm worried about? How to deal with creeps wearing meta-glasses.
My current 'script', thinking about what to say...
...this is my current idea: "I do not consent. Take those off, or leave".
Any ideas on how to improve this?
Should I bother with signs?
