Today was a day of mass censorship. Sending love & solidarity to all the amazing career scientists in government. For the rest of us: Now is not the time to self-censor or comply in advance. More than ever we need to stand by the principles of our profession and always keep speaking truth to power.

Everyone should probably have air purifiers nowadays—making your own is easy too. They’re helpful against outdoor pollutants like smoke as well as viral control when folks visit you, or if anyone is sick in your home.

Hello #craftsky—I thought I might treat myself to a rechargeable, magnifying craft lamp, but I'm not finding a lot of options that check all 3 boxes besides the Daylight Halo Go which literally every review says it breaks if you look at it, plus it's over $100. Do I just want an Ottlite? #crafting
