Yes. And also…not sure when I’ll get used to hearing a Pope with a 🇺🇸 accent!

Seriously book 📕 people are the best people. #BooksSaveLives

The thing about admin work is that it will take all the time you let it take. grumble, grumble #IdRatherBeWriting #AcademicChatter

I know there are a lot of serious ways to illustrate #CorrelationIsNotCausation, but I thought my #GenX friends would appreciate this. #Tylenol #EpiSky

Wow! Just came across this very positive review of my book that was published last year by @susanaramirez.bsky.social , and it's in very good company with books by @haushoferl.bsky.social and @charlottebiltekoff.bsky.social . Definitely agree these three books read well together! #FromLabelToTable

Kicking off #FoodForAll conference on #Food & #Communication in Lille Is @charlottebiltekoff.bsky.social talking about the framing contest in which the food industry wants public to understand food as science, celebrating food tech, & becoming willing consumers. #NutSky #FoodStudies

On my way to Lille for the 4th Conference on #Food & #Communication. Had to stop in Paris, where the sky is showing off against the renovated Notre Dame. #ILoveMyJob #AcademicSky

I am still processing the conversation I had last night with a longterm NIH staffer. Some of their words: "It's a hostage taking situation." "We're constantly dodging drone strikes." "They want us frozen with fear." "RFK is going to cause deaths." More words from #SaveHHS 👇

The epidemiologist sent an article and said we’re cooked The climatologist sent an article and said we’re cooked The academic sent an article and said we’re cooked The activist sent an article and said we aren’t cooked we’re being cooked, so we had better get out of this pot.

Breaking: Peaceful activists, many with disabilities, are being arrested at the Capitol right now. These individuals are putting themselves on the line to do all they can to save healthcare for millions of Americans.

Celebrating 🎉 20 years of @ucmerced.bsky.social #library — the 1st research library 📚 established in the age of the internet. Some great stories about building something new shared by current & former librarians.

We support and resemble this statement! Save the image to remind ourselves daily. #CDCsavelives

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

A terrorist attack on CDC. A (pre)Labor Day purge of leadership. Vaccine access being cut. Science being destroyed. We are out of time. Sign the letter. Get your reps to care. Run for their seats if they don’t.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

“The attack on Dr. Monarez is a warning to every American: our evidence-based systems are being undermined from within.” -- Mark Zaid & Abbe Lowell, lawyers for ousted CDC Director Susan Monarez ....Well, hot damn.

1/5 🧵 Once again, this admin makes us all sick to our stomachs - This time... literally. 😷💩 CDC had to drastically cut back FoodNet surveillance because of funding cuts. Deadly outbreaks from Listeria, Campylobacter & others are now harder to spot, putting millions at risk.

there is a difference between being genuinely powerless - like a parent trying to keep your kids of dying from influenza when you have no medicine to stop it - and having ALL THE POWER but using it to protect your big cool guns that make you feel like a big cool man instead of to protect children

Signs from my #writing retreat at the Berkeley Botanic Gardens 1-🐍 present! so are distractions & negative thoughts. To keep away snakes stomp loudly. To keep away neg 💭 keep a list of nice things people have said about your work, your accomplishments that seemed impossible until you did them

No better way to spend the last week of summer “break” than at a #Writing retreat. #AcademicSky #amwriting

Writing is hard. Sometimes you have to #KillYourDarlings. But I refuse. Instead, I lovingly cut & paste my beloveds into a separate document, from where they may or may not be brought back (or...um...remembered!). Anyway, #AmWriting ✍️⌨️ #AcademicSky last Friday before the semester starts.

I am not sharing the picture because it is an act of racism, but: The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.

Right-wing media figures claim that D.C. should be a “test case” and argue that “we need full military occupation” of other “problematic cities” like New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

I've been struggling with #Writing lately. Life, the world, etc., of course in the way, but ALSO I'm STUCK. I'm waiting on some feedback, trying to process other feedback, and just knowing that I'm not quite clear yet. It's not writing that's the problem, but thinking #WritingIsThinking #AcademicSky

It's #BacktoSchool ✏️ day for my kids! And, boy, does this #AcademicMama feel FREEDOM 🔔 in the house--the week between their going back & my semester starting is super productive. Between 3 birthdays 🎂🥳, getting ready for school, & [🌎 🚨 issues], I've had a hard time writing. Today I'M BACK, BABY! ✍️

ATTN: #PublicHealth #HealthPromotion #HealthCommunication #CDC Publications Warehouse is closing. There are A LOT of publications & A LOT of copies of each publication...will be recycled. To Order: Browse the catalog at CDC Publications On Demand & place orders before Aug 15. wwwn.cdc.gov/pubs/

In times of crises beyond my control, I find literature comforting. In 2020, I found comfort in books about past infectious disease pandemics—Pale Rider & The Ghost Map are nonfiction novels that helped me understand that one day we’d be past the dark days. What should I read now? #BookSky

CDC attacked today. #PublicHealth #AcademicSky

Huge thanks to the 200 ppl who have already let me know they preordered Make Your Manuscript Work! That means I'll be donating at least $200 to the Trevor Project. Orders placed today (release day) are still eligible for preorder incentives 😀 Step 1, order your copy: bookshop.org/a/8521/97806...

When a reporter writes "This is real" but you really still don't understand. I mean, the words, they make sense on their own. But.

I'm not surprised by this analysis, only that it's news. Where I live we have high rates of poverty & few kids go to college. So many smart kids have bought into the dominant media narratives of college costs that they self-limit their dreams. #EduSky #AcademicSky

I've successfully ignored email for most of the summer #SorryNotSorry if it's yours...I've been #Writing! Catching up now. It felt good at first, but now I'm remembering that email is like a boomerang, and what you send out never fails to comes back.

This is awful. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. #LocalNews #LocalNewsMatters @kvprnews.bsky.social

Feeling this hard today. #AcademicSky

I made an event timeline to try to make sense of all the federal overreach at @georgemasonu.bsky.social and whoo boy. When you lay it out like this, the executive over reach comes into focus. open.substack.com/pub/misofact...

Many of the places under a tsunami warning or watch are *only* served by public broadcasting. Thanks to Congressional Repubs, including AK's Sullivan & Begich, the stations that disseminate warnings could run out of money to operate w/in a few months. Because who needs tsunami warnings, amirite?

NEW: Our @chronicle.com crew has the details on tonight's deal between Columbia University and the Trump administration, the first over the government's claims of antisemitism on campus. #HigherEd #AcademicSky

I just listened to the best podcast: Public Health Media Club @sharpflower.bsky.social & MJ take on @theatlantic.com's irresponsible writing on the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic. 🧵on how I'll use this episode this fall #PodcastPedagogy #EduSky #CommSky #PublicHealth #MediaLiteracy

Has anyone used OCR tech to help grade student writing? Might do more in-person essays this fall, but I really struggle to read handwriting (including my own, tbh). #AcademicSky

Happy #caturday! Coco the Fabulous Foster Fail wants you to stop rushing and enjoy a nap.

Found this skeet from @amymaxmen.bsky.social and it's relevant 6 months later #academicsky
