A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

@ohheyitsarielj Your tweets are so relatable.

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen A bummer if all it generated was positive PR for Cook 🥴.

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Hm. I don’t see any record of the act coming to fruition. I don’t even see a record of it being considered in committee. But maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Same to you, Hailey Grace!

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Totally. Curious how people define poor mental health and components like social isolation and how that might be different across space.

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Guess 3 percentage points isn't *that* huge. But like, what are Texans doing different?!

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen I find those sharp drop offs at state borders particularly interesting. What do you think that’s about?

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@ohheyitsarielj I srsly became a public health professional because of how traumatized I was by my years as a UA shc patient.

“We must make an effort to understand... why certain behaviours perceived as risky are important to [people]. Desire, pleasure, the pull of intimacy, the need for proximity... are important in determining what people ultimately do.”

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Agreed. Though it is established that she’s over 1,000 years old. :>

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Yes! I choose to ignore the sequels. But the original is excellence. Truly. Also, I love that you called Judy “elf babe.” lol

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen This movie was SUCH a part of my childhood. I’m really excited that people are still showing it to kids. I am still disturbed tho that they totally changed Bernard’s personality in the sequels. Why?!

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen Nice mural tho!

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@REDavisPhD Congrats! ✨

@sahughz although we just always called it chocolate syrup. do you have a chocolate gravy recipe, by chance?

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@sahughz seeing this and the golden eagle about made my heart explode

[kay sea @kayseavick]

@_hailey_allen There’s one in Montgomery!
