I got COVID again after 8 weeks.
With antigen tests and the internet it's hard to know why (different strains from travel to Boston and Italy?); Paxlovid (lower immune response or rebound?).
But I'm here to report this n of 1 did not have much of an "immunity window"

I just got my first case of COVID, and wrote this piece on why I think it’s easier to get sick this summer wave.
(Thanks to UCSF beacons @Bob_Wachter @PCH_SF whose pieces I used to navigate my illness. Now, back to Netflix)

How do we share basic scientific research with the public?
Upcoming virtual #SciPEP conference with many of my favorite colleagues @moefeliu @tiffanylohwater @ErikaShugart @JohnBesley
scipep.org/event/2023-confer…
Join me July 27th to explore how we share the new stories of science with leading data storytellers @abhinanda_b from @latimes, @daisychungart from @reuters & @ryanwyatt from @calacademy in a panel and reception @swissnexsf from 6-8 PM. #dataviz #scicomm

At what point does a drought start or end in California? Doesn't matter so much anymore. What matters is this remarkable chart by @seangreene89. latimes.com/california/newsl…
Join me at one of my favorite visualization conferences: Visualization in Science and Education
This year focuses on visualizing complex systems, with talks from all stars @LacePadilla, @ChristiansenJen from Scientific American, and many more! #dataviz

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question:
Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers?

The most mysterious part of our #Zoonomia results? Some DNA doesn’t change AT ALL
100 million years
240 species
LOTS of random mutation
But no changes seen
Why? Maybe essential for health
Important clue for medical researchers @carlzimmer

I'm often asked "What can I do to stop climate change." That's a hard question because so much of the change we need is structural, but this new study proves one thing: EAT LESS BEEF. (And now, drum roll, here come the beef industry trolls.) science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Join me tomorrow night!
Next Thu 5/4! Join us for our World Premiere screening of our short film, The First Entanglement as part of @exploratorium's After Dark program. Drink & explore starting at 6 pm, then head to the Kanbar Forum for our film w/ Q&A at 8:30 pm 🎟️ bit.ly/sclroots
Join me this Thursday @exploratorium to explore the relationship of plants and culture through both film and conversation.

Researchers pittted ChatGPT against genuine doctors, using actual patient questions.
ChatGPT was more accurate and more empathetic.
By a lot.

As many ways as there are to communicate, there are ways to #scicomm. We can pick things we enjoy doing, from youth science festivals to talking with family to... dance? Yes, this protein production dance at @stanford really happened... (4/5) atlasobscura.com/articles/st…
Engaging with people around science requires thoughtfulness and skill. As the @NAS publication on #scicomm points out - it involves people so it's complicated. This class (and others we'll point to) share tips. (5/5) nap.nationalacademies.org/ca…
Science communication course @ucsf starts tomorrow!
Fresh for this year:
Building graphics with @ChristiansenJen
Critical dialogue with Kayon Murray-Johnson
Strategic #scicomm with @johnbesley
and a field trips to @exploratorium & @KQEDscience
Stay tuned...
