New Communications Breakdown podcast episode release! Ever tried using AI to make music for a project? We thought it would be simple. Let’s just say it didn’t go quite how we expected. 🎧 Listen here: bit.ly/46zxD4e #AI #Podcast #SciComm #HealthComm

We were in for a surprise when we tried to use AI to create music. On the left is the word expectation with a happy looking robot sitting in front of a computer using a text to music prompt to create the perfect theme song. On the right is the word reality with an image of a confused looking woman who has a variety of resources sprawled on the desk in front of her

Yesterday was a brutal day for public health. I wrote about how I was processing my feelings about it over on LinkedIn. bit.ly/3FLVdzJ TL;DR version - I'm not going to let public health/science go down without a fight. What we do matters. Who is with me?

I started an account on Bluesky forever ago but have mostly been watching. I think it is time to really give this thing a try. Here we go. I thought an appropriate first thing to post would be the image ChatGPT created for me when I asked it to create an image based on what it knows about me.

Woman with curly brown shoulder length hair. She has on glasses and is wearing a light gray turtle neck. She is sitting at a desk in a what looks to be a home office. Purple is the predominant color. There is a cat sitting next to her. On the table in front of her is a coffee mug and a podcast microphone. On the couch behind her there are purple cushions and a football. Behind her is a bookshelf with a basketball and books.
