A little bit of beauty covering the city tonight. The fleeting nature made the trip out to snap some photos worth it before the world disturbs it. I imagine we will all be looking for a bit of fleeting beauty in the world for a while so take the chance if you can.

Our report on TikTok, even more relevant today...
Just out! CHIP50.org report looking at who uses TikTok, given its imminent (possible) demise. The TLDR: it's disproportionately younger people, persons of color, women. But the rise of TikTok also tells us a lot about the relative stasis of the social media economy.

Selecting a few of the recommendations from our National Academies report on science misinformation to highlight. Recommendation 2 is simply that universities & researchers need better procedures for publicizing research. There should be accountability for overhyping science.

I finished Wind and Truth and overall very happy where most things landed. Brandon has grown as a writer and the characters here benefit (well at least their characterization benefits) greatly. As always looking forward to more #cosmere.

In my experience it's the organic chemists in the inorganic lab that are most likely to set things on fire/blow things up.
So in science labs, everyone points at the chemists as being the most likely to start a fire
In chemistry labs, everyone specifies inorganic chemists as being the most likely to start a fire
Who do the inorganic chemists call out? #chemsky
