Hi DragonCon! It’s time for information literacy on the Science Track, come on down to 209-211 at 5:30!

Screenshot from the DragonCon app of a panel description.

Title: Trust, But Verify: The Scientific Process, Science Literacy & Sources

Abstract: Why do scientific facts sometimes change? Because Science isn't about being right – it's about getting closer to the truth. Learn how discoveries evolve, how to spot good research, and how to separate evidence from hype.

My favorite panel so far was monsterotica through @dconscitrack.bsky.social - the ballroom got to vote on some monster smash opportunities. Good thing this was Dragoncon After Dark

It’s no secret that Dragon Con has become the best pop culture convention in the galaxy. We couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing volunteer community. That’s why we’ve introduced “Dragon Con University” college scholarship program for our 5+ year volunteers & their legal dependents.

Did you attend our Fiber Arts Unraveled panel, or wish you had? I highly recommend this video on the science of knitting that goes into both the science of knitting, and the history of how "women's work" has intersected with the sciences www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btQ... #fiberarts

More Dragon Con notes: everyone needs to appreciate this slide from @tkingfisher.com from her talk on the four sexes of white-throated sparrows at the Solve for X variety show in the Science track ( @dconscitrack.bsky.social )

A PowerPoint slide shown on a projector. The slide shows a busty cartoon woman in the left, with a white-throated sparrow's head (white-striped), and a female gender marker. On the right are two white-throated sparrows indicated as male, one white-striped, one tan-striped. The two male sparrows have voice bubbles saying "would" and "oh yeah".

Oh, and did you get turned away from a panel you wanted to go to because the room filled up too quickly? Please add a comment in the ratings in the app to let DragonCon know. This could help us get a bigger room in the future so that we don’t have to turn anyone away.

A fancy long-jawed orbweaver bringing the bling for Arachtober 🧪🌿 #invertebrate We found this beautiful spider hiding under a leaf in Tatama National Park, Colombia. It is possible that the mirrorball abdomen might look like a rain drop and help the spider avoid predators.
