Thanks @mildobserver.bsky.social for taking the time to chat with me, superstar @erinmorrow.bsky.social & others. Our convo was inspired by the McClintock Letters, run by @cornellasap.bsky.social & @snapcoalition.bsky.social, w/ the mission of reconnecting scientists with their hometown communities.

You can find my talk if you dig through the archives! Thanks to the organizers for an amazing seminar series. The best part of putting it on YouTube is my family and non-science friends being able to watch. My sister still thinks I should have ended my talk with "Smash that subscribe button!"

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. 
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.  
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. 
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing. This is a much more effective tool than cancelling Disney. 
We did cancel Disney but calling Joe’s Jeep dealership who is buying adds on the local nexstar station will have a BIG impact. Joe doesn’t need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on.

OK, if you're looking for something to do, this is something you can do. This comes from a retired meteorologist who knows how local TV works. Currently recording the WGN Morning News (WGN is Nexstar) and making a list of local advertisers to call later. (Sorry, Joffrey Ballet.)
