The interaction on the Dire Wolf short on TikTok has been back and forth, and fairly split. www.tiktok.com/@sciants_med... My favorite interaction so far is: #science #scicomm #sciencesky #nematode #direwolf

The most important #YouTube short you will watch today--there has been rampant scientific misinformation on the dire wolf this week. We felt it important to discuss what the actual science is behind this process. Please like, share, and fight for facts #scicomm youtu.be/d_D6apS_e9A

It’s unfortunate that my teeth aren’t inside my body otherwise medical insurance could cover them. /s

Ok, bare with me. A library passport. You get a library passport book, each library has a crowd sourced designed stamp, and when you go to a new library you get a new stamp, library card of not. Libraries could sell the passport books. How do we make this happen? publiclibrariesmag.bsky.social

@tiltify.com is there anyway to do a website embed for a campaign? Is that on the roadmap?

Hey I made my first healthcare physical in four years. Look at me adulting.

Hey, I did a thing... Best books I read last year: 5 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starter Villain - John Scalzi 4 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Forever War - Joe Haldeman Zero Days - Ruth Ware Weyward - Emilia Hart The Night Masquerade (Binti #3) - Nnedi Okorafor, Home (Binti, #2) - Nnedi Okorafor cont...

Academic journal papers behind paywalls is a little infuriating, espec. when the author will generally send you a copy if you ask nicely. I don't know what the answer is, maybe open access, but if you want to be an IC/professor you have to be published in one of the big ones which will be paywalled.

So a certain company popular amongst streamers who shall not be named (🔗🌳) who I applied to in October, sent out the typical rejection (with no initial interview) form letter the week of Christmas. May have dodged a bullet on this one…

I maintain that Skeleton Crew is just Star Wars Goonies.

Also merry Christmas and happy Chanukah to all my friends who celebrate.

Someone was nice enough to gift me a new Kindle Paperwhite. Mine was first generation and the battery wasn’t lasting as long and the screen was chipped. The biggest difference for me is there is no page flash. It’s wild. My brain was trained to blink whenever I turned a page.

This might be the cutest thing ever...

Congratulations to two of my favorite people for making this years 15 under 15k on Twitch. First Twitch Ambassadors, now this. <3

Big night tonight at 7:00pm EST on Twitch. @paleontologizing.bsky.social @nerduino.bsky.social @volcanodoc.bsky.social and @f15y.com and @sciantsmedia.com will be talking the state of science communication on Twitch! twitch.tv/sciants_stre...

Charity stream tonight for Fred Hutch Cancer Center twitch.tv/sciants_stre...

I don’t have a lot of time to watch streams due to my heavy commitment to one of them. You will find me in two, almost every day.

I would like to learn After Effects only not After Effects, and not an Adobe product. I’ve been using Move, but I think I’m going to hit the ceiling quickly. Any suggestions? Not sure what to tag this post with.

I’ve had a Vizio TV for years. I never hooked it up to the internet on purpose. Pretty happy about that decision now.

I have Amazon Prime. I ordered a part to fix my washer machine on Tuesday, they said it would be delivered today. Got a message last night it had been shipped. Got an email today that it won't be delivered until next Tuesday. Doing laundry would be nice...

Does anyone else find it weird that we need a “world kindness day” and that kindness isn’t just an every day thing?
