Lofi Cali Girl - beats to relax/study to during the climate change apocalypse I saw the #LofiGirl meme floating around about all the different countries and thought about making one for California where I live, and well... #climatechange #ExtinctionRebellion

A recent study of 657,461 children found that vaccines do not cause autism. In fact, as shown above, unvaccinated kids may have had a slightly higher incidence of autism, though it did not reach statistical significance. (HR 0.93, 95% CI = 0.85 - 1.02) ow.ly/vMCW30nYQDk

Feels weird to use my hosting of a science communication account to throw its weight behind the social media account of a frozen meat company, but: yeah. This. What they say.

one major roadblock in getting credible information to the masses is the divide between experts and communicators. most experts aren't communicators and most communicators aren't experts. this often results in research being spun with a narrative by the time it reaches the public

It’s always “send nudes” and never “send that interesting research paper which highlights a novel method that will change the way we do science in the future” 😕

I’m waiting on kitty ultrasound results and trying to distract myself a little bit so I’d like to tell you a story about something that happened last night, in the hopes that I can process my feelings around it. I met a girl on the train last night.

DNA is a right-handed helix. Lots of DNA depictions in logos etc are wrong and are left handed. Done randomly, you expect half of them to be incorrect. But funnily, the majority has the wrong handedness. Suggesting an innate preference for left-handed turns in the brain?
