Hey, I wrote this for @NGKidsBks and it's out today! It's about how things break and how people try to learn from that. Featuring sinkholes, stadium implosions, car crushers, crumbling pyramids, locust swarms, the Great Molasses Flood, and much, much more https://t.co/HGKyDU6sRp

“tailless whip scorpion” is one of the most useless names out there. it’s like naming a cat “trunkless hair elephant”

@lquinn_phd Yes! That’s a great one

We do not deserve editors who leave little "Hahaha!" or "Love this!" comments in the doc. Like opening your packed lunch to see that your mom wrote you a tiny note. Thank you for all that you do.

A view of Seattle from the Space Needle, Oct. 1 compared with today. The air quality here is among the worst in the world.

Learned so much about so much working on @PopSci’s #Brilliant10 this year. Check out the winners, profiled by me & @yeahyeahyasmin, with expert guidance from @RachelFeltman & @CorinneIOZO. I don’t say it lightly, but these scientists and engineers are doing truly inspiring things

[Popular Science @PopSci]

We're so excited to announce the winners of our #Brilliant10, our annual list of early-career scientists and engineers who are today's brightest innovators!

THIS RULES

Note: I get a tiny kickback through this link, and so do indie bookstores, but buying in person or requesting from your local library are also awesome ways to go 🤓
