Spotted this clever science humor from @jacksonlab:

🧬 DNA: "Still single?"
💔 RNA: "Always."

Even molecules have relationship drama! 😂

There are a lot of stories that journalists are not finding. Dr. Jeffery Nickerson, an information systems expert studying the intersection of AI and journalism @FollowStevens, says #GenerativeAI can be a game changer for honing story ideas and generating new angles. 1/3

I’m starting treatment for #breastcancer today. I’m feeling strong and am sharing this news in the hope that others will get their #cancer screenings done. A routine scan likely saved my life! Pls RT @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla

Very kind of @sciam to give me this content hero award. I think our whole team (and fearless leader @Jeffdelviscio) deserves this — in the last year, our team revamped a 15-year-old podcast with fresh voices, won four Telly’s for doc work, and created spaces for DEI in STEM. ❤️

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished.

Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top.

Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.

Tonight at bedtime my 3 year old stumped me with questions including is the sun soft, where do rainbows come from, and why doesn’t your heart get tired?

I was able to sort of give a half answer to each but he could smell my weakness.
