I am so impressed by these amazing pop culture social media and video and everything examples being presented at #SCCommsSummit, but also super jealous of the teams people get to work on. I wish department-level #scicomm-ers didn't typically have to be on their own! DOE Office of Science

Just announced: We are partnering with Intel and HRL Laboratories on semiconductor quantum computing, thanks to the LPS Qubit Collaboratory. We'll receive state-of-the-art devices, and Intel and HRL will learn more about their chips. #MidwestQuantum news.wisc.edu/partnerships-b…

Learning about astrophysics for my next article in Journal Sentinel was a HUGE step out of my comfort zone from #devbio. Read about the discovery of 'ghost particles' in our Milky Way here: 🌌👻⚛️jsonline.com/story/news/loc…

Come work with me! We're hiring a #quantum science #outreach program manager, with a preference for anyone who has a passion for sharing science in an engaging, equitable, and accessible way. #ScienceOutreach #OutreachJobs jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/quantum-s…

Annual “pretend I’m at #phages2023” post. It’s been fun to bump into people from my previous life! I’ll be here a little while yet today and some tomorrow, hmu if you’re around.

Physicists: read this article, see how incredibly well-done it is, and then PLEASE BE INSPIRED TO TAKE MY JOB FROM ME. This is what great physics research comms looks like. nytimes.com/2023/08/10/sci…

One reason I left academic bench science was because I felt like a dinosaur, caring about trivial details of basic molecular biology. Still, I was and forever will be a champion of #BasicScience, so this analysis that shows its importance makes me smile. news.wisc.edu/machine-learni…

My amazing team made this video!

I had a little fun with this graphic

Apparently I'm enough of a designer that I noticed this change on day 1 (and was excited!), but not enough that I know the difference between typeface and font. This is what 5 years of playing a graphic designer at work leads to 😀

At #APSMarch? I'm on a panel today! Come to #SciComm 101, How to Talk to Journalists, Work with Press Officers, and Promote Your Own Research. march.aps.org/events/science… UW-Madison Physics

Morning, #APSMarch! Today at 3pm, join us for the panel “Science Communication 101,” where journalist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan (they/them), press officer Dr. Sarah 🧬🧫 Perdue, and physicist Karen Daniels will talk about all things #scicomm! Details: march.aps.org/events/science…

Congrats to this year's class! I'm excited to read/see your work this summer!

Six weeks ago, I said "no more procrastinating," opened up a WHAM! youtube greatest hits playlist, and started writing a news story. This ⬇️ is that story. #FusionEnergy #CleanEnergy

also I made a thing to explain fusion at the atomic level. It didn't make the story because okay maybe it's a little too detailed for a general audience but you better believe the physics account is sharing it on social once the main story traffic slows down a bit :)

We're hiring! Join #TheWondersOfPhysics as a part-time educational outreach specialist! Applications due August 11. Learn more and apply: jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/outreach-… #ScienceOutreach #SciComm #OutreachJobs #SciCommJobs #STEMoutreach #SciEd
