@eraguilera12 @1NativeSoilNerd Hey yes, the pitches from SACNAS got lost during the reorg. Message me. Let's talk. I'm not a producer though 😁

@IBJIYONGI Looking to buy those shoes now........

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@KNanglu @NPR It was my pleasure!

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@AnilOza16 @NPRShortWave If anyone ever questioned if Anil was the greatest.....check out his work on Short Wave!!!! https://t.co/NqfJCurCHi

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

Thank you @AnilOza16 for being so amazing! We miss you at SW! I want to be the kind of reporter you are......GREAT! See ya on the East Coast!

[anil oza @AnilOza16]

today, on @NPRShortWave, I bring you: snails 🐌, worms 🪱, killifish 🐠, whales 🐳, lizards 🦎, finches 🦜, ostriches 🦤, mice 🐭 AND OF COURSE, RATS 🐀

@ScienceRegina & I talk about how rats became synonymous with research — and what a better model organism could look like

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@aaronscottNPR Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@IBJIYONGI @StarTrekRoom Thank you to @IBJIYONGI & @drerinmac for being amazing guests! I wish we could do a series on the science in #StarTrek. Also, talk about the people we love in the franchise....@levarburton, @SirPatStew , @TrondyNewman, @gates_mcfadden, @akaWorf! So many more....

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@IBJIYONGI @thexanderprice @NPRShortWave @drerinmac @StarTrek Awww. It was so much fun to talk Star Trek with you! I agree we could do it for HOURS!!!

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@karenkincy Hey Karen! How are you doing?

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@IBJIYONGI @ProteanIntl Awww!!! Thanks @IBJIYONGI . Actually these two episodes were the brain child of @emilykwong1234 . I just helped with some of the physics. I learned a lot! It's a really good mini series!

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@IBJIYONGI @NPR Thank you Chanda!! I think this episode turned out really well. You were super informative as to why people are interested in these new findings but also why we shouldn't jump to conclusions. The soundscape and producing by @travlinscientst & @rebeccalramirez was really lovely!

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@MalakaGharib You are so kind.I mean ALL of it! I'm kind of embarrassed it took me this long. You have a fan in me and also the person I bought a copy for.

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

The book #ItWontAlwaysBeLikeThis was Amazing! I read it in one sitting! @MalakaGharib, it was a completely riveting & relatable story. As a fellow mixed kid with 2 non-western cultures, I felt so seen. Also, the music references = my childhood! I saw Sonic Youth 3 times in one yr

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

@QuantumOfSalsa @MalakaGharib Go Corey! You won't regret it! It definitely stuck with me.

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

We got the rat beat!!!!!

[anil oza @AnilOza16]

tomorrow’s @NPRShortWave 👀

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

I would eat this mammoth meatball!!!

[AP Oddities @AP_Oddities]

Stop me if you’ve herd this one... A company has made a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct mammoth. The meatball, meant to spark debate about cultivated meat, has not been tasted, even by its creators. https://t.co/QQ367Wnfmk

[Regina G. Barber, PhD @ScienceRegina]

Ditto! Vents are soooo cool!
