This week I had the enormous honor and privilege of being a guest on an episode of TWiV to talk about debunking anti-vaccine misinformation and science communication in general. Please listen and consider supporting the scicomm efforts of MicrobeTV! https://t.co/DZDVhxmWhd

Tomorrow night I’ll be doing my first Q&A live stream. I’ll also talk about the latest CDC guidelines. There will be good questions, good discussion, and probably lots of heckling. Should be fun so stop by if you want. Stream starts at 8:15PM EST. https://t.co/th6MrDuoJK

I plan on this being the last video that I make about @Johnincarlisle. I hope it serves as a cautionary tale for both science communicators and people looking for good science communicators online. https://t.co/hJwcEXWNfS

Clarence Thomas has sparked new waves of misinformation on how COVID vaccines are made, so naturally I had to make a video explaining how vaccines are actually made and that they don’t contain aborted fetal cells. https://t.co/5gVfdBSt1Z

Wow I just asked the person I'm training if she ever watched how I met your mother and she hit me with "no, but my parents watched it a lot when I was younger". Ouch.

Today is my sweet, sweet baby's first birthday. How?! I'm a mess!! What a wild ride. I love being your mom!

The amount of preliminary data it takes to get grants funded these days is so obnoxious that it'll be better to start calling it a reimbursement rather than a proposal.

Not me impulsively buying flowers and trees like I don't know what happened last year and ever other year I've tried to have a garden 👀

The only good good thing about it being cold again is getting to see the horses wearing blankets while driving 🥺

I definitely did not realize Easter baskets were such a big deal until I became a mom. I mean, I still didn't put one together but at least I know now 😅

[Amber (Lucas) Wilson @AmberLeeIPro]

It's still unclear to me if once you are married you only celebrate wedding anniversaries or if there is a wedding anniversary and a total anniversary 🤔 Oh well, both me and my husband forgot so I guess we are off the hook 😂

[Amber (Lucas) Wilson @AmberLeeIPro]

I dont think I've ever seen an Easter bunny that didn't really creep me out.

Fun fact: It's still legal for insurance to charge women more for insurance if they are of child bearing age. Women's premiums are more than DOUBLE men's before 30. It costs so much more to just exist as a woman. I hate this whole system. (These are numbers from a real company).

The big idea: should we get rid of the scientific paper?
‘As a format it’s slow, encourages hype, and is difficult to correct. A radical overhaul of publishing could make science better’

I forgot it is spring break and I decided today was the day to change my name at the DMV.

Mistakes were made.

Folks in my neighborhood fb group love to bitch about turning properties with lots of land into multiple houses, meanwhile they own 4 homes they are renting out at sky high prices and young ppl trying to buy homes are getting priced out of the market because there's no inventory.

Am I fooling anyone with my 8:03am scheduled emails?
