This is why I’m cross training in communication while continuing my career in science. Yell the stories loudly from the mountaintop, learn how and where to reach people.

Check out my story for Mongabay about some really cool research at @harvardmcb.bsky.social! It was amazing to hear how the multidisciplinary research team followed this sensation from the molecular level to the model organism’s behavior. I’m always amazed by octopuses and microbes.
