Incredibly excited to share this work that I feel honored to have gotten to contribute to !

@elliemaps Love the map rug :)

I swear being a 49ers fan has taken at least 10 years off my life thus far.

Hearing people at my apartment pool talking casually about epidemiology (because of COVID) will never not be weird.

Added some letters to the end of my name yesterday with some special people by my side! 🎉🎉

@ktopf97 depends where you're from - Argentines make a sh sound!

@ScottESolomon @RiceUniversity By far one of my favorite classes taken at Rice!!

Based on guest presentations and discussions this semester, students in @RiceUniversity's Public Science Communication Seminar course developing the following list of best practices for communicating science with the public... (1/15) #scicomm

The biggest April fool’s prank is that it’s somehow already April and graduation is only 6 weeks away 😯😯

My family has reached the “train the cats to ring bells” stage of the pandemic - how about you?

@KatherineTopf I haven’t heard about hospitals - I’m guessing their generators have sufficed so far. Know that 8,000 Moderna doses were suddenly given to jails and colleges nearby because a generator failed and they were going to expire

Does anyone have insight into the power outages in Texas impacting hospitals, especially those with full COVID-19 ICUs? I assume they have generators but have not heard anything about this in particular

@MeetMckayla $1000 'copay' for an ambulance to drive 2 blocks - no drugs or care administered while on the vehicle.

What is the most ridiculous medical billing you have ever received?

The immune response to vaccines works through controlled inflammation. It’s possible that prophylactic Tylenol/NSAIDs taken before vaccination could blunt this, but no evidence that taking these medications to treat side effects after is bad... usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

Very slowly my dream is starting to come true!

💕🇦🇷💕

@ktopf97 I was thinking about this - I feel like to do it you would need to vaccinate teachers and kids families

@RobStephenson74 Watch out or you may end up with this kind of situation on your hands!

My cat is obsessed with the Christmas tree this year. Has sat there staring at it for hours #CatsOfTwitter #Caturday ##Christmas

Deadliest days in American history: 1. Galveston Hurricane - 8,000 2. Antietam - 3,600 3. 9/11 - 2,977 4. Last Thursday - 2,861 5. Last Wednesday - 2,762 6. Last Tuesday - 2.461 7. Last Friday - 2,439 8. Pearl Harbor - 2,403

I have never wished so badly to have someone jab mRNA into my (and everyone else’s) arm

@dana_s_lim Hoping for better rest and more a exciting Spotify wrapped for in 2021 !
