@sravnik @ASBMB So excited to be doing this again!

[Shauna Bennett @ShaunaMBennett]

Why yes I did spend time on Christmas day writing about virus mutations. Anything to make the season brighter, and not less so! 🤓

[Lifeology @LifeologyApp]

Are you worried about the new #CovidVariant? @ShaunaMBennett has written a straightforward post about the science of the new variant on our blog, featuring images by @jt_pea from our "Viruses Mutate" course (appropriate for adults & kids!)

How likely is it you’ll encounter at least one person who is infected with the coronavirus if you go to a bar in Denver? What about a 100-person wedding in Baltimore? Or a Thanksgiving dinner with 25 guests in Los Angeles?

We put together a list of the Top 25 Science YouTubers and noticed a few things:

-There's not a single person of colour
-There is only one female (solo) channel

It's a tough conversation, but we need to talk about diversity in science.
