@MegaDarren No job but I do recommend NCSWA. It's a nice group mostly in East Bay and they have a job board.

@socialistdogmom There's a type of tofu made with chickpeas instead of soy. That might be an option.

@RottenInDenmark Not to ignore the prompt (pop neuroscience books are everywhere) but I would say "Delusions of Gender" is a rare example of a helpful book that really examines how thin the evidence is for so many studies. It's all underpowered! People are complicated!

@Lady_Historian It's not free but I've just gotten into ceramics though a parks and rec class and it's amazing. That said, my advice is to think of what you were into as a kid and do that.

The Amtrak bus to LA is basically a #southwest support group right now.

Only a handful of people will truly appreciate how horrifying this is.

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

I feel like earthquakes are the closest thing to "talking about the weather" Bay Area people get.

Firstly, this great paper by @trainorlab and @MindfulRat on the impact of things like transportation stress and circadian rhythms 2/5

@jannamoen @nick_does_neuro And shovel! Otherwise you're out there with a frying pan (as seen in my parking lot).

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

@nick_does_neuro Happy to share my cold weather clothes/life recommendations! AZ to MN was a journey.

@bairdlet @gnuconsulting @UrsulaV Mixed feelings about them but I'd also recommend "The Changeling" by Victor LaValle and "The Ghost Wall" (sorry if these don't quite fit your criteria I do more SciFi than horror).

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

@bairdlet @gnuconsulting @UrsulaV If Nettle and Bone is the latest release I just finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it. You could go classic with Shirley Jackson. I also found "Drive your plow over the bones of the dead" fascinating.

@bairdlet I yearn for kitchen parafilm. You do actually pH stuff sometimes to make sure it's too acidic for botulism. You could get some pH strips for fun!

Academic journals will have to provide immediate access to papers that are publicly funded, ending a policy that had allowed publishers to keep publications behind a paywall for a year, according to a White House directive announced on Thursday. https://t.co/fqSzpJZvwr

@Ti_Enjoli I started wearing linen pj type pants. I'm just always sweaty though 😅.

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

@megvondriska Apparently the stories you read are regional so I've made multiple lottery references and people look at me like I'm insane....

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

@bredalot @BBolander And cheap, safe hostels!

@jelenawoehr General sanitizing rule: 10% bleach, for at least 10 minutes. If that isn't possible, 70% isopropanol or ethanol. Honestly even dish soap works usually. But I'm not an expert.

[Amy Nippert, PhD @nippert_r]

He's a 10 but it's the pain scale.
