Dedicated to answering the question: How many scientists would it take in real life to do what you see in movies and TV shows? Realistic representation matters!
Thanks for following and sorry for the lack of content. I’m shuttering this account but there’s no shortage of science in fiction to talk about. For now, I’m focused on #StarWars. Check out my podcast @StarWarsologies or follow me @melissatruth. Lots of content coming there!
If #RangersoftheNewRepublic was about park rangers protecting wildlife, I'd be so stoked! Can you imagine the agony #TheMandalorian put them through? I wrote about it... https://t.co/hKVXTOJmlU
Our season 2 finale episode! The (spoiler) changes hands! (Spoiler) returns! Is (spoiler) the new big bad? And what about that post-credits scene? #TheMandalorian Can't wait for season 3! https://t.co/qI6Fwm6ZWi
I wear my @KauaiForestBird "birds not rats!" shirt to record my #TheMandalorian podcast. Because I'm a wildlife lover at heart and because that skull design is eerily familiar... Check out our newest episode https://t.co/bV0FOASHNq
New catch phrase for #TheMandalorian: Take it Off! What do you think? Hear more hot takes from @JohnMarkTolly1, @Many_Scientists, and Brian on this week's episode https://t.co/iXpOC6RLre
Great opinion piece about the devastating effect #TheMandalorian is having on wildlife. It was the main conflict in chapters 9-10 and continues in others, as I discussed on @ThatWasTheWay1 podcast Thanks Sara Stewart and @CNN https://t.co/Rt7DxHgfvS
Also interviewed a herpetologist from @SDNHM about the frogs and their eggs. What is based on species here on Earth and what was science fiction? https://t.co/tlcJBIqZXp
Alright, who's the wildlife fan working on @themandalorian? Chapters 9 & 10 had cool critters from @TerrylWhitlatch's Wildlife of Star Wars book. I chatted with her about seeing them on screen after all these years https://t.co/vEfjVHB2nc @jonfavs@dave_filoni
I've always felt like I didn't have to choose between #StarWars & #StarTrek fandoms (a girl can love both!). But that @UberEats commercial has me reconsidering. I can eat neither beef nor tomatoes so I side with @HamillHimself on the order. I feel like I've betrayed @SirPatStew
Need a distraction? Watch chapter 9 of @themandalorian and then this interview with Terryl Whitlatch, who basically invented the krayt dragon. Hear her stories of working with George Lucas to take it from skeleton to sarlacc-eating monster #ThisIsTheWay https://t.co/tPGZj79O9M
Will be chatting with Terryl Whitlatch this week, the author of The Wildlife of Star Wars. She wrote the background about krayt dragons! Hear what she thinks of them in episode 1 of @themandalorian
First announced during the @ForceFestSaga panel I hosted, the Grant Imahara Foundation is set to do great work. Live like Grant! https://t.co/gdwWtl5EgQ
Many scientists are #StarWars fans. In this video @Russell_Arnott of @incredoceans shares ocean critters named after characters. Love it! I mentioned Osedax jabba in my latest @SW_Insider article https://t.co/HYWWnkmLL2
The Child eats one frog but spits out another. Could those color patterns indicate that it’s poisonous, just like on Earth? Herpetologist from @SDNHM thinks it’s likely. Was @jonfavs up on his natural history when writing @themandalorian? https://t.co/hTNwn18Azv
Watch #CSI, #Bones, or #Dexter? Learn what being a forensic scientist is really like. Hint: it involves a lot more paperwork and a lot less banter. My latest piece for @fleetscience https://t.co/eET00MMtH4
As fall classes kick off @UCSanDiego, BioSci instructors are getting creative by shipping materials to students for at-home experiments. From genetic analysis to electrophysiology experiments, BioSci instructors are getting creative to ensure an enriching lab experience!
