So many!! But I have tattoos representing Exist Trace, Dir en grey, Miyavi, and the GazettE, so they should probably win :)

My spouse had their lamotrigine dosage upped after seizures and now takes a total of 600mg/day without these effects. If it were me, I’d encourage FIL to talk to MIL first and see if she’s open to going back to the neurologist (and potentially a therapist).

I (3M) like to stretch out on the bed. Humans and other cat (8F) complain that I take too much room on the bed, but they don’t understand that my long legs and toes need the space! They have a queen mattress, and obviously a Man(tm) like me should get a king mattress! Aita?
My spouse had a 3+ minute tonic clonic. On their way out of it, their first words to me were “I love you so much” and then they climbed onto me for the tightest full-body hug ever. Good thing I work out! Also I now always lose the “I love you more” contest ☺️

You simply must look at the best science images of the year. This is a cancer cell slashed open using an ion beam. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

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

Also if you see this and can remember who this is, please tell those pipettes that Wifey and I say “hi” 😂
Okay geeking about science and Supergirl with @AndreaKBrooks was an amazing way to spend 5 (short!) minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Very grateful for the time and laughs 😂😄🤓

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
