I forgot I had an account here. So here is a picture of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher I took recently as my apology.

🔬 Public trust in scientists is moderately high, but transparency & engagement are key to strengthening it! A global study across 68 countries sheds light on what builds (or erodes) trust.

Ain't that the truth

An incredible list. Thanks for putting it together.

Just going to leave this here...

Nuance takes more effort (not much) but is so necessary. Climate change is the most complicated and pressing issue of our times and we cannot do ourselves a disservice by lacking nuance.

Totally! Now that we are past the holidays, I can devote some time to this.

Congratulations to all the winter graduates at universities near and far! I see you and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. 🎉🎉🎉

1 more day until the end of the semester...

Science cafe programs are so cool. Last night, we learned about our state crime lab firearm forensics team and all the high-tech science they use in their work. This is a 3D scan of two casings showing how they match up markings.

What a concept! Thanks for highlighting stories outside of the US as well.

This huge. I live just down the road from Carrboro and I applaud their team for moving forward with this. We must hold polluters accountable.

"Duke Energy is the third largest source of carbon dioxide in the country"

This is not some small company that just services Carrboro.

Keurig coffee will almost always be just one step above instant coffee. There are infinantly better ways to brew coffee than that which has plagued our planet with single use plastic pods.

Yes, i know they have reusable pods, but the product still doesn't taste good.

Same. Lived in the area 1999 to 2006. Super cool to see how they have continued to innovate over the years.

Ohio? If so you have to check out COSI. One of the best science centers!

Everyone loves a good foggy morning walk to work.

Among other things

40°F and rain will forever be the most miserable weather and I will die on this hill.

I only ever get used cats. Cost efficient and just as loveable.

A student made project that is a pinball type game that teaches the player about the percentages of food groups you should eat.

Students at my university's Makerfest made a pinball game that teaches kids about the food pyramid. Fun and educational!

Do you think of yourself as a part of the environment? If not, why? If so, why? This has been an ongoing question for over 50 years that continues to evolve.

Carolina Forward called NC HB 382 the "sore loser bill" and that made my day.

It's Saturday morning yall. Don't forget to take time for yourself if you can. We have to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others.

I was going to get up, but then my cat curled up on my lap. I guess I will never get up now.

Students today will never know a snow day like waking up and turning on the TV to see which school were closed. Now it's turned into a remote learning day. Just let the kids go outside and play in the snow!

The illusion of value is so strong.
