"Especially competitive..." Right because it was such a cakewalk before. Vought can go step on a thousand Legos...

It seems I’ve swept past 6k followers today in part due to a burst of new folks finding me from this starter pack: go.bsky.app/2LmKSDN Let me do a quick introduction thread to me and my books!

As someone in a STEM discipline, I really abhor the kind of messaging that Mark describes. The messengers aren’t people who actually care about STEM. It’s really a shorthand for “do something practical, focus on your relation to the labor market”.

reading fiction isn't escape, it's a genuine necessity. Feeding the imagination is essential for staying free.

In other news, I also went to the library book sale and and kept my promise to my spouse that I would not come home with a shopping bag FULL of books. It was only like 3/4 full. Please clap.

Still processing a wonderful talk and Q&A from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social at the NH @afsc-org.bsky.social celebration. I wasted a lot of time being angry on the internet, building walls instead of bridges.

If you were transfixed by THE HOT ZONE when you were young, or then read SPILLOVER and trusted it, then as a career scary diseases reporter, I urge you to read this thread. Science moves on. People discover fresh stuff. The work careers were built on becomes outdated. Be open to the new. Please.

On a different literary note... I dropped some "Stealing from Wizards" on my friend's 13-year-old and have been delighted to share that with him and his little sibs. Magic! Scrappy underdogs! Found family! Two of those three relate to our actual real lives... stealingfromwizards.com

Had a particularly fun panel on Dragoncon SciFiLit co-designing a world for this alien with fellow panelists and audience. Some of whom had co-designed the alien earlier. This is what biology by committee would produce 😂

A menacing looking alien sketched in marker on a white board with air sacs on its head, pincers (just because), retractable shell and sonar dome, pumice skin arms, a tech screen on the face showing eyes, whale teeth, and lots and lots of long skinny tentacles. It has microbes as predators nearby. Underneath says, "please do not era." My unintelligible scribble and doodling of the world is on the papers next to it

Yesterday I had a wide-ranging discussion about a bunch of things with my spouse and the subject of the imaginary number "i" came up... Him: They just made up a new number. Me: Well, it expands the number system so that numbers are two-dimensional. Him: No. Me: What? Him: Nope. 😂

I recognize that this is true, and I deeply appreciate the science communicators inhabiting these spaces. I, however, am not in these spaces... So, do me a favor? Drop a link to your favorite short-form video science communicators! (Maybe it's even you?) Let's share the good content! #SciComm 🧪

I'm feeling quite hopeful and buoyed by the discussions this thread led to yesterday. A lot of us care about quality and, perhaps even more in danger here, trust across research networks. Group hug, y'all.

This is an absolutely spectacular essay that EVERYONE who cares about the professional field of astronomy and astrophysics needs to read. "...doing astrophysics is a satisfying and meaningful human activity... people are always the ends, not merely the means." 🔭🧪🎢 #AcademicSky (🛢️ coming later)

This week on Cosmically Curious, I talked about the "Clever Hans" effect and how we have to be so careful in ascribing human characteristics to non-humans. This comes up in my "Life Beyond Earth" course! 🎢🧪 #SciComm www.nhpr.org/show/cosmica...

A fantastic instructional designer I know sent along what looks to be a useful tools for evaluating how susceptible your assignments are to AI. I haven't tried it yet, but it DID lead me to the creator's substack "Slow AI" which I am already loving (1/2) Ex: theslowai.substack.com/p/the-people...
