@ReadaboutJobs is looking for a cool scientist to talk about their work! Any discipline. https://t.co/0FEkZnHpTy

It’s Tuesday, and I think the blog needs another scientist interview. Anyone know a cool, passionate scientist who’s interested in talking about their work??

Ever wonder how to become a librarian? What they do all day? Whether they're judging you for your inept reference skills? Anna answers all in this week's Dossier post from "About a Job."

Looking for examples of #women "geniuses" who had a drastic effect on how we live our daily lives. Do not have to be household names, but must have had a great affect on the course of human history (preferably post 1850). #STEM #STEAM #ChangeTheWorld #womenwhowork #Feminism

Sick today. My pre-schooler just came downstairs to say she was decorating the office with tape and a needle. Sounds like I’m going to be really mad about something tomorrow.

@MyFavMurder Yay! Loved being at this show. Best birthday present ever, @LokiandCalypso

Doing some #freelance writing and editing today! I love working on my own projects, but there’s something about getting outside of your head and working through other people’s writing that’s so cathartic.

@hankgreen I have to point out that there isn’t really much difference between the AR15 and other semi-automatic weapons, so banning them seems like an empty move. However, I’m not really against a ban. I can own other guns. My veteran s/o likes his, but it wouldn’t be a big loss.

Question for the twitterverse (please rt!):

Are there any boards/forums out there where people discuss how to choose a career? I'm not talking about industry-specific places. Instead, I mean places that attract a variety of "trying to figure it out" type-individuals.

But you have to learn how to stand up for your beliefs. If my kiddo were school-aged, I hope I’d stand by her decision to walk out. I hope I’d be her ally rather than her enemy. (4)

I remember being so afraid to break the rules or get in trouble as a middle and high school student. I was so focused on maintaining a “perfect�� record. (3)

A lot of schools are upholding their attendance rules even though there’s a larger context at play. Some are even threatening harsher punishments than usual. (2)

[Melissa McGehee @Rested_laurels]

With all these school walkouts scheduled to protest gun violence, I’ve been thinking about how I’d react if my kiddo wanted to participate. (1)

@ReadaboutJobs @Ologies @LokiandCalypso. SQUID-NEY!!! (Forgive, couldn’t help myself.) *clears throat* You’ll like this podcast.

Either I’m getting super comfortable or just lazy about this whole blogging thing. I just wrote, “I’d suggest reading the first post for context, but hey, it’s your life” on the draft for next week. #aboutajob #bloggingblogger

Does anyone know a cool, passionate, or insightful librarian? I think the blog needs a librarian interview.

@MyFavMurder in Columbus, OH, was great (except for the part when our post-show Uber driver tried to commit vehicular manslaughter). Fun fact: pedestrians have right of way, especially at a crosswalk. #SSDGM @StevenRayMorris @GHardstark @KarenKilgariff
