Great table of science terms that have a different meaning for the public (Somerville and Hassol 2011).

Thanks to @leahstokes and @_torischneider for this #Scicomm find!

@e_baumgaertel @NatePyle79 The bigger thing is, does someone else get to decide for you what sin is or isn't? And does your government get to decide that for you?

Or is the role of government to maintain a scaffolding that individuals cannot? That's more where I sit. Republicrat, demopublican, whatever.

@e_baumgaertel @NatePyle79 Again, many folks vote strictly environmentally (eg Democrat) because they feel like it's child abuse/murder to expose the unborn to pollutants that we know cause infant mortality, birth defects, and heart/lung disease.

[Dr. Maria Wheeler-Dubas 🇺🇦 @AquilaPrincess]

@e_baumgaertel @NatePyle79 Another consideration, Erin: many Democrat Christians feel like Republicans ignore Jesus' command to care for the sick + feed the poor, but they don't feel it's the government's job to regulate individual sins or "sins." For Republican Christians, that stance is largely flipped.

Hardly anyone cares about climate change... right? Wrong! 86% agree that their country should try to fight global warming. Why this perception gap? Simple – we’re not talking about it enough! Read more on this & how you can get involved in your community: https://t.co/lYpNKnjBba

@ravenscimaven I still can't wrap my mind around production companies not seeing that you have a huge following that you created BY YOURSELF. Just think what you would do with a bigger stage 🤦🏼‍♀️

This shows the frequency of "Clear Skies" observed in Pittsburgh at 2PM during February going back to 1945. Get out there and enjoy the sunshine if you can! Especially since it colder more than half of the time too!

OK don't laugh.
I spent 3 days watching every frame of the animated classic FernGully: The Last Rainforest. I cross referenced lists, maps and my own approximate area of where the movie took place around Wollumbin (formerly Mt Warning), Australia to figure out a species list.

@ErikReed Jesus said to share the Gospel with all the nations. When He literally brings the nations to us to make that job easier, we lose our minds.

(Why? Because they're "illegals." Even though the vast majority of us are also descended from folks who immigrated here and stole land 🤷🏼‍♀️)

In the Innamorato Administration, the community’s priorities will be the County’s priorities - and to do that, we need to hear from all of you! Please take the All In Allegheny Community Survey & share it with others to take as well.

@jimwharton @ncmikeyandbob @fsmikey @FSBigBob Admittedly, when I tried it the first time and realized that's what happened, first I cackled and then I panicked "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, is anyone in here??" 😂🥴 Luckily no, lol

[Dr. Maria Wheeler-Dubas 🇺🇦 @AquilaPrincess]

So...I don't know how to caption this experience of a bathroom, but I thought this story must be told @fsmikey @FSBigBob

[Dr. Maria Wheeler-Dubas 🇺🇦 @AquilaPrincess]

@jimwharton @ncmikeyandbob @fsmikey @FSBigBob I have no idea what that was all about, but I pushed the button three times 😂🤣
