Science #education needs storytelling. Here's why. Featuring a peek inside the new edition of my textbook, Biology Now!

Working on this piece with the help of AMAZING science writer @Scudellari was a real joy - as were our many conversations with our partners at other organizations. Thank you so much!

Wow. I aspire to this:

@jeremyphoward @WesBarnettPhD @math_rachel @PNASNews Thanks (Also, I agree it's an under-reported on area, and could use more general explainers.)

[Megan Scudellari @Scudellari]

@alisonmccook @PhillyInquirer @phillyopinion Congrats Alison! They’re lucky to have you. I have and will always count you among the best editors I ever worked with.

It's one of the most dramatic turn-arounds (and around...and around...) in medical history:

"I still think about Daly...and the questions I would have asked given the chance to interview her." Sometimes a story takes an unexpected turn. That's what happened in my latest @ScienceNews

If you missed it on Friday, here's my latest piece on what Omicron is doing at a cellular level to infect so very many people:

[Megan Scudellari @Scudellari]

And now, I bring you a peek under Omicron's hood -- including some explanations for why it is likely the fastest spreading virus in human history. https://t.co/nCqhgBGTzA

I’m having a hard time with the cognitive dissonance of this wave. As one friend put it: We’re being expected to transition from "Let’s avoid getting Covid at all costs" to "Omicron is mild and we're all just gonna get it and it'll be fine." https://t.co/Yv75xdiWhl

If you're interested in the super nitty gritty details of the spike protein & how it helps the virus enter a cell, & then what the virus does once it gets there, this July @Nature article by @Scudellari does a phenomenal job of explaining it. https://t.co/G67l6fPzUm

[Megan Scudellari @Scudellari]

@MythSerene It begins with a story of the same surveillance team in South Africa that detected Omicron (although I spoke with them shortly before it emerged)

[Megan Scudellari @Scudellari]

@MythSerene Ha, wow, that's very kind. Thanks for making me smile :) If you want more, I recently wrote a story on the evolution on the virus you can check out here: https://t.co/8l83DUMFH3

Labels on sanitizer bottles and wipes often boast the product's ability to "kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses." But exactly how it kills bacteria and viruses isn't always clear. via @ScienceNews https://t.co/4fz23SjrPh

It has been a very long 20 months of writing about coronavirus 😷 🦠 and yet there is more to say. For a deep dive into how the virus stays one step ahead of us -- and our only chance at managing its evolution -- here is my latest piece, for Nautilus magazine.

[Nautilus Magazine @NautilusMag]

Science writer @Scudellari has been covering the COVID-19 pandemic since it began.

This week, Megan brings us an authoritative article on the virus. If you read only one article on the state of the pandemic today, Megan’s article is the one to read.

Viruses mutate faster than any other organism on Earth —and the new coronavirus is no exception.

We're intent on killing the coronavirus with handwashing, antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizer, bleach and more tools. Yet, according to most scientists, we’ve been working hard to kill something that isn’t alive. #SN100 https://t.co/knUfPAGm6L
