Music and media are my things! Oh, and a little science, too…
Looks like we (science communicators) have our work cut out for us! "Research scientists are rated less positively on their communication abilities. Fewer than half of Americans (45%) view research scientists as good communicators." New Pew Research poll on trust in scientists: pewrsr.ch/4ftteSm

Ok, let me try my math (not a fav. subject): 150 pieces of candy purchased; 50 left at the end of the night. So, I gave out 100, right?!? Oh, wait, my wife says...didn't you have some at lunch? And what about yesterday, I saw you sneaking some in. OK, ok, so maybe my math isn't so good...👻🍬

I know that living in California means my phone occasionally blares an earthquake warning, as it did this morning. And, I appreciate that the USGS is such a great resource to see what's up! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
