Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌 @chanda.blacksky.app · 06/07/2025If any of my scientist *mutuals* wants to write an op-ed for their newspaper about science but you’re not feeling confident about your writing skills, I will happily ghost co-write the piece with you. I’m fast, and I’m pretty good. And we need people making the case for science. 🧪⚛️🔭 16706166

Dr. Courtney Gibbons (she/her/xlookup) @courtneygibbons.phd · 06/07/2025Mathematician mutual here! I'm trying to round up the braincells for an op-ed (possibly also a column to pitch to the American Math Society) about practical things people can do right now on behalf of science (including math). I'd love to collab if you have time and zest for these topics! 151
