@TulikaBose_ All the very best, Tulika, and many good wishes to your father.

@inkerley Oh yes! I was telling someone the same thing. I’m trying to manage my expectations but objectively S1 set the bar super high. They really have no room for error storytelling-wise.

@AparnaVid I loved the beginning! And the show is so stylish that it is always a pretty fun experience, but that perhaps made the ending doubly disappointing. Anyway I won’t spoil it, but I hope you enjoy - and thank you for reading! (If Severance S2 is bad I will be devastated lol)

I watched Sunny for New Scientist, a show I instantly fell in love with, then out again just as quickly newscientist.com/article/mg2633…

When I started out as a reporter, no one taught me how to lead a successful interview. I figured it out over the years, & now in collab w/ @Open_Notebook @SiriCarpenter & @KavliFoundation I've written a *free* online course you can sign up for at any time #How-to-Excel-at-Interviewing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theopennotebook.com/science-journa…

@JordaanS In all fairness, he did warn us…still hasn’t found its groove.

If you had an algorithm create a John Mulaney fan, it would generate exactly me. And even I am confused by this Netflix thing he's doing.

1. Listening to an @ASTHO - @IDSAInfo - @CSTEnews webinar on #H5N1 #birdflu in cows. Of interest so far: — @USDA is monitoring feral swine; no detections of H5 so far. — in the "small number" of samples tested to date, doesn't look like cows are shedding virus thru feces.

Calling all @ScienceWriters members! Join us as a judge for NASW's journalism and institutional writing awards. Deadline March 27. It's a wonderful opportunity to honor fellow science writers and read some excellent science writing too! nasw.org/volunteer #SciWriAwards
