For the holidays: sourdough, sour cream and chive rolls, molasses cookies, and kimchi
Not photoed: a lemon harissa hummus and browned butter sage cookies (currently baking)
Since I travel to my parents and in-laws, its way easier to bring baked goods

A trick i consistently see hard science folks do is hide behind math to shield themselves from gaps of understanding.
You see a lot of researchers who barely grasp statistics but infer that a complex equation signals their competency

There's a signaling theory that I more or less buy that says academics are constantly trying to signal intelligence. In "hard" sciences, this is easy to do, because there's lots of math and everyone agrees it's very difficult. In social science, you have to be confusing to appear smart.

Its very telling how testosterone therapy is promo’d as invigorating/aspirational without listing any downsides. It increases your risk of stroke and heart attack!
Thats not a casual side effect, especially in the older populations that get advertised it as a miracle therapy

If you write or are a journalist or do any kind of storytelling (science or not) I highly recommend checking this out. There is so much in the about mechanics and risk/benefits of how you connect to audiences.

We’ve now produced a toolkit to guide science communicators through (critically) using certain strategies. It has been beautifully illustrated by @jordancollver.bsky.social (in collab with @rikworth.bsky.social) and can be downloaded as a PDF here:

Deal still going!
I don’t usually share Black Friday deals because I’m not a yankee capitalist slave to Mammon but, Hocus Pocus is going cheap and I think it’s both A) normally a touch too expensive and B) occasionally needs a push since you can’t get it in bookshops.

Being able to learn/do something despite your disinterest is a good skill to have. Its also a skill that you train, not a trait that you summon whenever convenient

We can teach people things that they aren't ever going to have any use for later in life! That's an okay thing to do!
