Congratulations to Sarah Goodwin for this well deserved recognition for her vision and leadership @scicommlab!

I got COVID again after 8 weeks. With antigen tests and the internet it's hard to know why (different strains from travel to Boston and Italy?); Paxlovid (lower immune response or rebound?). But I'm here to report this n of 1 did not have much of an "immunity window"

I just got my first case of COVID, and wrote this piece on why I think it’s easier to get sick this summer wave. (Thanks to UCSF beacons @Bob_Wachter @PCH_SF whose pieces I used to navigate my illness. Now, back to Netflix) link.medium.com/3qpMAHEoQBb

How do we share basic scientific research with the public? Upcoming virtual #SciPEP conference with many of my favorite colleagues @moefeliu @tiffanylohwater @ErikaShugart @JohnBesley scipep.org/event/2023-con…

Join me July 27th to explore how we share the new stories of science with leading data storytellers @abhinanda_b from @latimes, @daisychungart from @reuters & @ryanwyatt from @calacademy in a panel and reception @swissnexsf from 6-8 PM. #dataviz #scicomm swissnex.org/sanfrancisco/e…

At what point does a drought start or end in California? Doesn't matter so much anymore. What matters is this remarkable chart by @seangreene89. latimes.com/california/new…

Join me at one of my favorite visualization conferences: Visualization in Science and Education This year focuses on visualizing complex systems, with talks from all stars @LacePadilla, @ChristiansenJen from Scientific American, and many more! #dataviz grc.org/visualization-…

@AmandaLMolder Congratulations- can’t wait to see what’s next!

@WallaceUcsf @c3STC Good luck today - you and the work will shine!

Show time at the Center for Cellular Construction annual site visit. @c3STC #NSF

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question: Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@ryanwyatt @exploratorium Clyde vs. the tornado - who will win?! But seriously, thanks so much for coming. Grateful to have a town with so many thoughtful, fun colleagues!

Heading to arch-rival @exploratorium to join @frazierarchive for this awesome premiere! But first, dinner…

The most mysterious part of our #Zoonomia results? Some DNA doesn’t change AT ALL 100 million years 240 species LOTS of random mutation But no changes seen Why? Maybe essential for health Important clue for medical researchers @carlzimmer nytimes.com/2023/04/27/sci…

I'm often asked "What can I do to stop climate change." That's a hard question because so much of the change we need is structural, but this new study proves one thing: EAT LESS BEEF. (And now, drum roll, here come the beef industry trolls.) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@DeepaHRajan @UCSF @UofCalifornia Good luck, Deepa!

I'm excited to be representing @UCSF at the @UofCalifornia-wide Grad Slam this week!! Tune in to the livestream link below on Friday at 10:30 am PDT to hear my talk about cell learning and vote for the people's choice award :) gradslam.universityofcalifornia.edu

Join me tomorrow night!

Join me this Thursday @exploratorium to explore the relationship of plants and culture through both film and conversation. Watch the premiere of First Entanglement, followed by a conversation with director Regina Sobel and biologist @jrossibarra @ucdavis bit.ly/sclroots

Researchers pittted ChatGPT against genuine doctors, using actual patient questions. ChatGPT was more accurate and more empathetic. By a lot. HT @adamcifu jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

Engaging with people around science requires thoughtfulness and skill. As the @NAS publication on #scicomm points out - it involves people so it's complicated. This class (and others we'll point to) share tips. (5/5) nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23674/…

As many ways as there are to communicate, there are ways to #scicomm. We can pick things we enjoy doing, from youth science festivals to talking with family to... dance? Yes, this protein production dance at @stanford really happened... (4/5) atlasobscura.com/articles/stanf…

Our first class @ucsf #scicomm class was about shifting the scale at which we think of science communication. Documentaries and exhibits are great, but scientists can have an impact in countless ways - including things they can do today. Some of the students ideas... (1/5)
