Early pregnancy isn't a switch. It's more of a process. Understanding this basic sex ed is more important than ever. So we made a comic about it. https://t.co/HiC21CLGKI

Australia's wildfires are, in large part, under control. Rain is falling, but with the land unstable, mudslides may follow. And there's a team of scientists working hard to predict them. @rhersher and @mererizzo take us there. #NPRShortWave https://t.co/zZjSsgtsGi

@emilykwong1234 @NPR So fun! A lot of the plastics were brought in by colleagues. I now have bags of plastic and trash under my desk! Need any?

[Meredith Rizzo @mererizzo]

Ayanna Howard finally landed her dream job heading a team at NASA. But on her first day in charge, she was mistaken for a secretary. Her story is about the courage it takes to be innovative, and learning that your differences can be your strength. #npr #scicomm #WomenInSTEM
