Decided late to jump in on virtual #aaasmtg a little late. Now have 9 tabs open for recorded sessions from Mon and Tues that I want to watch. I realize in person has advantages (I miss interacting with real ppl), but virtual means more access. Can we do this every year? AAAS

Advice from Irina Rish for girls making choices about future career: ignore the stereotypes, ignore the sense of imposter syndrome. Focus on what you want to do and pursue the path to get there. Keep people around you who will encourage you. #WomenInSTEM #AAASmtg

A long Twitter absence has upsides (for mental health during an election year) and downsides (how am I just learning about a podcast dealing in words?!?) You're Saying it WrongKathy & Ross Petras⁩ npr.org/podcasts/64259…

Love that the face of a rolling blackout announcement is a squirrel. Somehow, I’m less worried about when these blackouts may happen and more willing to turn my thermostat down a bit. ⁦Lincoln Journal Star⁩ #LincolnElectricSystems journalstar.com/news/local/lin…

I wrote about something I've thinking about a lot recently: 19th century doctors were themselves obsessed with ventilation. How did we manage to forget that? 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
