Scientists should graduate ready to share what they know, effectively. Even the top science programs in our country do not require science communication and public engagement for their graduates. This is dangerous. Let's change the future. Sign the petition to make a difference: bit.ly/3LbnfHB

When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees. Share and sign today, it only takes a few seconds: bit.ly/3LbnfHB

Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB

I'm not trying to STOP people from getting vaccines, I'm just trying to stop people FROM getting vaccines. There is a difference

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

I'm sure y'all have seen Marjorie Taylor Greene singling me out during a congressional hearing this week right? Hold my margarita. Today is a great day for science education.

Some of you are new follows, but may have seen this going super viral, a few years ago, yes this was ME! I wrote this to help one of my former students study for their microbiology final. The rest of my science-themed music is on all major streaming platforms. Search for Raven the Science Maven :)

Melanin is the most common pigment in the animal kingdom, but plants, bacteria and fungi also contain versions of melanin – in fact, the brown color of over-ripe bananas is due to melanin produced by oxidation in the skin. Share if you learned something new!
