@monstercouch @stonemaiergames Any word on release date for mobile (particularly, Android)?

[Collin McCabe @collinmmccabe]

@bahuja90 Also, check out Through the Ages- for such an intimidatingly complicated game IRL, the app makes everything so wonderfully accessible!

@DCrapuchettes @bahuja90 @GirlsGameShelf But, of course, Evolution is one of my all time favorites, @DCrapuchettes - is Oceans getting a similar treatment any time soon?

[Collin McCabe @collinmmccabe]

@DCrapuchettes @bahuja90 @GirlsGameShelf Renegade & Dire Wolf have done an awesome job with all of their apps so far: Lanterns, Lotus, and Raiders of the North Sea

@shanellconsults @usmankayaniphd @PhD_Guru I'm pretty sure that's by design:
"Brainwashing requires the complete isolation and dependency of the subject, which is why you mostly hear of brainwashing occurring in prison camps or totalist cults [or grad school]."

@pattonoswalt @NBCAPBio @allisyn_a_arm @aparnabrielle @GlennHowerton I'm not much good with Photoshop, but I know the movie needs to be titled "Bad Habits", and the poster needs a blood-soaked ruler on it...

I'm going to "2019 World Medical Innovation Forum". See you there? https://t.co/Ydm70VRn2n via @Eventbrite

@CDCgov Thanks for the response! I hope that a cause can be discovered soon (and treatment or prevention ). Best of luck to all at the CDC!

.@CDCgov It looks like #AFM cases seem to spike in late summer-early fall (mosquito season), but most news articles are only mentioning #EVD68. Could the outbreak be/is it from #WestNile virus instead/also?

We must promote diversity in STEM & support women every step along their paths to science and engineering careers. Every child has a moment when their imagination is sparked by S&E. Let's keep that spark alive & nurture it. #DayOfTheGirl

@gsabrinus @NDFieldEcology Oh, boo! I'm getting rusty...

The description of Risk was spot on!

I saw kids die daily from measles in Kenya. I saw a women carry her child 30 miles on her back to get him vaccinated. First world parents who don’t vaccinate are spoiled fools. #ShareAStoryInOneTweet

Here's a really great, succinct, and approachable (read: fun!) primer on machine learning and artificial intelligence by @cgpgrey from the end of last year - in honor of the recent "AI alchemy" story in @sciencemagazine featuring @alirahimi0 https://t.co/o53fACfiWX

Vector-borne diseases (those mainly spread by mosquitoes and ticks) are on the rise in the US. Be safe outside this summer (i.e. use protection- long pants/sleeves, repellent, tick checks)! https://t.co/4lvSA3O2kI

It can't be called science if it's not replicable publish the measurements, make casts available. Share scans. Human origins belongs to all of us, its our story. Stop scientific hoarding of data. If countries have outdated laws that protect a privileged few, campaign for change.
