Science Distilled

A monthly public event to inspire scientific curiosity. Bright & engaging scientists share research stories to inform & entertain.

Thank you, @snalbers! We'll see you tonight :) #Sac4Powerhouse https://t.co/hDysoUPAa5

[Destiny J. Davis @DestinyJDavis]

I study plants at #UCDavis and I support #sac4powerhouse. Grew up visiting similar centers! Never know who you'll inspire @Mayor_Steinberg

Want to watch the #SolarEclipse2017 but can't find a viewer? Protect your eyes by watching shadows through a pinhole! Thanks @PowerhouseSac

[Shannon N. Albers @snalbers]

@SacSciDistilled break activity: swab a sample from something n the room. We swabbed a yoga mat. @PowerhouseSac will grow them up! #science

"Bacteria are everywhere" -@davidacoil #SacScienceDistilled #spacemicrobes #sciencecheerleaders

[Shannon N. Albers @snalbers]

@davidacoil "Each one of us is emitting a cloud of #microbes and we are interacting with each other's microbes." Um, ew.

[SMUD MOSAC @SMUD_MOSAC]

We're learning about the fascinating world of #astrobiology from @LifeNspace at #SacScienceDistilled. Her #science jokes = #addedbonus

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

What's the best way to look for life in space? Methane! It's a promising sign of primitive metabolism @LifeNspace

[SMUD MOSAC @SMUD_MOSAC]

Fun with rubber gloves and Petri dishes. Cultures collected at tonight's #sacsciencedistilled. We'll be watching samples for microbe growth!

[Science Says at UCD @SciSays]

Half an hour until @SacSciDistilled! The topic is SPACE MICROBES. It'll probably get real weird (biologically speaking). #space #microbiome

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

Stuff we send to space is sterilized- ships & equipment. But not people. All microbes we bring to space are from our bodies! @davidacoil

[Shannon N. Albers @snalbers]

It's so good to see the exciting mounting for the @SciSays and @peoplesscience Share Your Science Workshop @ucdavis in April! #scicomm

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

@askquestionsucd what are the particular challenges of working at a small biotech company or biotechnology startup?

[Destiny J. Davis @DestinyJDavis]

Any fans of @discovery channel's Monsters Inside Me in the area? This is the @SacSciDistilled for you. #parasites (NOTE THE NEW LOCATION) https://t.co/N0rmh684To

New blog post up- a recap of last month's #HIV #research talks! https://t.co/MEIFN87xM8

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

Tropical mountains are full of biodiversity bc landscape barriers split species into new groups & many of those survive #jour300speech

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

Hirao: why no #HIV vaccine yet? Takes 25 years to develop vaccine, and hundreds of millions $. Plus HIV biology is tricky. Mutates fast!

[Science Distilled @SacSciDistilled]

Hirao: #vaccines can be made from dead viruses, viruses grown in the wrong host, and broken up bits of #virus (like proteins or DNA)

Scientific consensus comes from many studies. Headlines tend to come from one. Slide by @joesbigidea
