Hey just so you know, if you've never been a climate person until now, there are no cliques or in-group rules, you can just become one, immediately, despite the fact that others have done it for decades. Childish human psychology does not belong here - you are more than welcome!
Not sure about BIPOC. Good intentions but a little awkward in use... if you use it for me, I hope you think I'm a "bisexual piece of cake" and also Indian, white, support Black Lives Matter, against colonization, and, um... a "business intelligence proof of concept"
Oh just coming up with another homeschool plan, instead of sending an unvaccinated 8 yr old into optional masks and 2 ft distance between humans. No cohorts, no limits on gathering sizes, no testing for anyone, sports as usual...
And I'm LUCKY bc I have the means to do it. 🤯🤬

One thing I have learned from friends with fine art careers:
Paying attention to trends and new ways of working is good in the short term, but you can also say fuck it and just do your thing. If you do it for long enough, people notice, because so few people really commit.
1. We can do it!
2. If we need an extra day to do it (because omg the past year) we can likely take an extra day. Let’s communicate our needs and see.

Hey peeps! I'm beginning to hire another science/health writer for @LifeologyApp! Looking for minority candidates, health literacy & health sciences background, excellent at copy-editing and ability to build health educational "programs" with other writers. Anyone come to mind?!
Simone Biles is my new role model. If she can put health above Olympic expectations, can I put health above dumb practices that honestly don't even affect anybody (except me, negatively?) I feel like I can use her example and take care of myself.

Two things I am *begging* media outlets to learn about COVID-19:
1) Ventilation/shared air is the important thing, not disinfectant or 6-foot separation
2) We do not need to see constant images of needles piercing skin -- they are not helping encourage people to get vaccinated
I was doing an image search to see where my art is out on the net... and I accidentally found this building! It matches my branding pretty well. 🤔 hmm *plans trip to go stand in front of building and pretend it's mine*

I kept my mask, but it was more relaxed for a while. Now I'm going back to using facial tape, to get a nice seal. I'm not trying to spread anything, but also going for personal protection... Should I make a video about how I apply the tape?
I love these threads! This one makes me think 1. Could Chemistry have been made more enjoyable for younger baby-me? 2. Do I need to become a toxicologist?

😂😂😂 This is what I was talking about at the Association of Medical Illustrators conference. This is how graphics can effectively communicate to our audiences 😂 all it needs is some alt-text
Just a reminder about the difference between a "watch" and a "warning". We're currently in a "Severe Thunderstorm Watch". The ingredients are there for any storms that develop to become strong/severe. We'll be monitoring the radar all day. #WPRIweather #RIwx #MAwx

Thank you to @AMIdotorg for inviting me to give your opening keynote today! I had a wonderful time. If you were in the audience and still have questions for me, I'm happy to answer them in this thread!
Self-care today: I played with my microscope. I am going to EAT LUNCH. (washed hands between those things)
Then AMI meeting all afternoon! @AMIdotorg
