Early career Media Literacy Librarian. Aligning my work, values and projects as much as I can, with occasional dinosaur content.

I was reading 2023 Nobel laureate Katalin Kariko's book, Breaking Through. She was brutally honest about the academic system in US.

And, here is an example section from her book.

Netflix shutdown this series, yesterday, mid-production. I'm heartbroken for everyone involved, but also for the loss of a unique and original voice, one that simply doesn't exist in current children's animation. This show was going to be groundbreaking.

The #OmicronVariant is a story ripe for #Misinformation because of the large info gap — aka the unknown. Bad actors will try to fill that void with falsehoods.

Double-check anything you share ✔️
Watch out for inflammatory posts ✔️

✨ Facts matter, but they may not always match your feelings. Finding facts that fit a belief is confirmation bias. If you find yourself searching for what you want to believe in to fit a narrative, stop & ask yourself if you're being responsible.
