Is Lake Tahoe getting clearer? Leave it to our @HitchScienceUNR students to do a *deep dive* into the lake's water clarity, environmental impacts, and much more in their interactive StoryMap. https://t.co/9dqM0e3qWF

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Microb-oil??

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

Found in everything from chips to toothpaste, our addiction to palm oil is destroying rainforests. But an alternative may be on the horizon—oil made from microbes https://t.co/GzlP1Ex6Br

The wording of every ballot initiative is always like "you must pass these riddles three before you participate in democracy"

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵

Free advice for people who aren't paid to watch cable news: Turn it off, log out, read a book or something, see where things are when you wake up in the morning. You aren't learning anything useful right now.

@BubalaTweets WHAT A SHOT!🤩

WHAT KILLED THE CRABS?

The official story is something like “a billion snow crabs disappeared.”

If that sounds fishy to you, keep reading. Let’s dive into the ecology, oceanography, & geopolitical history of the Bering Sea.

Vegetation fire in Auburn. @CAL_FIRE dropping retardant on the flames. Fire broke out ~15 minutes ago from what I could tell. A fast response by the fire dept. with at least a helicopter and two planes

@Welcome2Shel @KFSK1 Congrats, Shelby!! Sounds awesome🎉🎉

[Michelle Werdann @MichelleWerdann]

A huge thanks also goes out to all the researchers who worked with me, sending edits back and forth, to make sure the writing was accurate! Many many many emails later, we have a beautiful magazine, with stunning design from Jen. Coming to a coffee table near you😉

It’s here it’s here it’s here!!
The 2022 edition of the College of Science Discovery Magazine has begun to arrive in mailboxes, and has my name on quite a few pages. Huge thanks to Jennifer Kent for her trust in my writing and overall support!

The cover of the magazine features probably my best work, EVER. I learned so much while writing this story, like that Sierra Nevada is singular. Oh yeah, and that the Sierra Nevada are ~5-10 million years old, give or take.
