Does anyone have any favorite guides or resources aimed at scientists/academics translating their work into public-facing talks/materials? There are a lot out there. I'm wondering if there are standouts! #AcademicSky #SciComm #ScienceCommunication

There is no such thing as a "low skill" job. Only a low wage job.

I'm doing another update to this map today because I really REALLY want you to go to a local market where actual artists sell their work instead of ordering from Amazon or falling for some shitty AI crap on Etsy.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

I think there’s a big difference between “all hope is lost” and “I have lost hope” and in climate it is really important to distinguish between the two. My personal feelings, your personal feelings are not the limits of our collective politics.

My coping mechanism for dealing with the nonstop deluge of horrors is just putting more cute community building/educational shit into the world. The more horrific shit they shovel onto us the more cute shit they're going to get out of me. I have to recommend this as a coping mechanism.

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

If you are in California, please call and ask your reps to support SB829 and the creation of the California Institute for Scientific Research. This would be an incredible resource for the thousands of scientists impacted by the Trump attacks on science. www.capradio.org/articles/202...

New bill would make up for lost research and vaccine dollars from federal government
The legislation would start a new state research institute and task a state program with distributing vaccines.
