Had a super fun conversation w/ @ArachnologyNerd! However, my reaction to seeing a 4ft TO SCALE model of an ancient scorpion was cut from the ep! I'm looking at you, BEX!
..But big thanks to Lauren! AND great job with this ep @rebeccalramirez & @ggrayson

I can build a shelter & light a fire without a match; I twice caught kitchen mice with colanders, so obvs I can trap & hunt; I have lots of hand sanitizer; and I throw good theme parties, so I can help organize those nightly, post-apocalyptic, dance-into-oblivion, Mad Max raves.

So @aaronscottNPR what are your skillsets in this post-apocalyptic future?

Space has black holes so powerful no object can resist.
Editors like @ggrayson have ceiling holes so powerful that some pitches don't make it out.

Before I was a science journalist for @NPR, I was a circus performer in Alaska. I'm talking leotards, face jewels, forearm muscles. The tricks look impossible, but physics is on your side.
Circus artist and #physics educator Julia Ruth shows us how on today's @NPRShortWave 🎪🧵

In early February, the CDC picked 6 U.S. cities to find the coronavirus before it spread. They were “sentinel” cities. But it took a month or more to getting going, costing valuable time in detecting the virus. I’ve been looking into why (a thread…) 1/ npr.org/sections/health-shot…
