Heard @chloexhalle did a text think with @theskimm ... stay far away from that brand as much as you can girls, they have a history of overlooking racism within their ambassador program.

To be human in a pandemic – A thread
Over the past 48 hours I heard from numerous clients, colleagues, and friends sharing similar messages of fatigue, stress, and burnout. “You don’t need to respond Sarah, I just need to share this…” is how many of those messages started. 1/

Defunding the police sounds radical until you realize realize we’ve been defunding education for years.
I've been really enjoying @edyong209's pieces on the pandemic and in this thread he shares a long list of other writers to check out on this topic and others! Definitely check it out.
My brain has officially switched to default pandemic mode. I zoned out for a sec in the shower while rubbing shampoo on my hands to put in my hair and before I knew it I was going through my 20 second handwashing routine, with shampoo, in the shower 🙃

“Being a scientist is really neat. At the bottom of human nature is a curiosity to learn and find out how things work. Everybody is a scientist on some level. A career in science formalizes that scientific curiosity and puts it out for the public to learn about.” 1/n

“The humanities are just as much science as any other field. Even though we don’t use test tubes, mathematical calculations, or lab coats, it doesn’t mean that we are any less researchers or seekers of knowledge concerning the world around us.” 1/n

“I think it is important to highlight everybody that is doing science, no matter what it is. Anyone who does science should be highlighted [because] that way people will be able to see a different side of science and see all kinds of people doing science.” 1/n

Flight attendant: is there a doctor on board?
Dad: *nudging me* that should’ve been you
Me: not now Dad
Dad: not asking for a science writer, are they?
Me: Dad, there’s a medical emergency
Dad: Go see if “being able to write a flowery metaphor about beetle grubs” helps

“If I were to meet a student that has a passion for science but has little to no confidence in themselves, I would tell them to not let their fears or insecurities stop them. Almost everyone, even very successful scientists, have fears of failure or feel insecure at times." 1/n
