At a high school, talking about Medical Careers, and a student asked for help with their biology homework - which I, of course, obliged.
Happy to answer animal questions! I can talk about the benthic layer of the ocean all day!

Have a bunch of emails to send today, but even in Canada, there's a quietness going on ... just a general malaise of "what did we all collectively experience?"

When I was in school, I religiously put two spaces after a period for every assignment.
Then, in journalism school, I quickly learned to put one space.
Now, evaluating high school essays for a summer internship, and some students have no spaces after a period.

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter.

Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪

People sharing science things brings me so much joy - even topics I don't know a lot about!
Love learning, and I love seeing people's passions

Going to file this away for fun "kid stumping animal trivia"
Daily mammal fact: 🧪
