I won an MF Emmy. For a story delving into the alien intelligence that is the octopus brain. I will use it to protect myself if I’m ever attacked by a giant, land-dwelling squid, cuz it’s heavy and sharp and not safe for cuttlefish. opb.org/article/2022/0…

@ScienceRegina Hi Gina! I didn't know you were on Twitter :)

@IBJIYONGI @ProteanIntl Awww!!! Thanks @IBJIYONGI . Actually these two episodes were the brain child of @emilykwong1234 . I just helped with some of the physics. I learned a lot! It's a really good mini series!

I can't believe I hope to read this wikipedia article and understand how she did this. @IBJIYONGI got me thinkin' I'm super-human.

How do you sort Uranium 235 from Uranium 238 when they have identical chemistry? You ask Chien-Shiung Wu! - she was a physicist #BornOnThisDay and she played a key role in the Manhattan Project. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chien-Shi…

@IBJIYONGI @NPR Thank you Chanda!! I think this episode turned out really well. You were super informative as to why people are interested in these new findings but also why we shouldn't jump to conclusions. The soundscape and producing by @travlinscientst & @rebeccalramirez was really lovely!

@MalakaGharib You are so kind.I mean ALL of it! I'm kind of embarrassed it took me this long. You have a fan in me and also the person I bought a copy for.
English
The book #ItWontAlwaysBeLikeThis was Amazing! I read it in one sitting! @MalakaGharib, it was a completely riveting & relatable story. As a fellow mixed kid with 2 non-western cultures, I felt so seen. Also, the music references = my childhood! I saw Sonic Youth 3 times in one yr
English
@QuantumOfSalsa @MalakaGharib Go Corey! You won't regret it! It definitely stuck with me.

I would eat this mammoth meatball!!!
AP Oddities@AP_Oddities
Stop me if you’ve herd this one... A company has made a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct mammoth. The meatball, meant to spark debate about cultivated meat, has not been tasted, even by its creators. apne.ws/cmEqU13
