Thank you to all the speakers and organizers who made this happen!

The snow didn't stop Salt Lake City from standing up for science today!

Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC:

"What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?"

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Today, scientists will rally for science across the country..in protest of the dismantling of government funding/NIH and NSF. I hope you will join them! Here’s the info for those in SLC.

See you tomorrow

My 12 year old pen pal (with Letters to a Pre-scientist) sent me a handmade cardboard cut-out of Vic Fuentes, the lead singer of Pierce the Veil. For no reason, other than she loves them.

This is why I love this program 😂

Get cozy and learn about a unique (and cute!) research study with my latest MicroBites article! 🐸 ♨️ 🧱

Excited to share this article I made as a ComSciCon SciWri 2024 workshop participant! And I had to add some illustrations for all my fellow visual learners.

What a fun and valuable experience! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.
