Especially proud of this episode of @kqedbaycurious in which @oallenprice and I travel 12 thousand years into the past to find out what the Bay Area was like during the ice age: kqed.org/news/11839198/the-b…

Just finished reading (/listening to) Slow Noodles—wow. @aviatrixkim hats off to you and Chantha! For folks who don't know, I'd describe it as a nonfiction Southeast Asian odyssey of tragedy and resolve, with a culinary lens. The audiobook is read by Chantha's daughter, Clara!👌
Just finished this audiobook and it was extremely worth my time. Nicely done @rboyle31!

Today, my book is finally in the world. This project has been a labor of love over almost five years, but also, in a real way, my entire life.
Now OUR MOON belongs to everyone. I hope it changes how you see the Moon, the Earth, and ourselves 🌕

Woke up to the news the Slow Noodles audiobook is now on my phone, and I'll be going to a couple events for this week. If this one's not on your radar, it should be xitter.gq/AlgonquinBooks/status/… @aviatrixkim
SLOW NOODLES hits shelves next week! " Nguon shares the story of losing her entire family in Cambodia . . . Through food, she’s able to revisit her mother’s kitchen, the familiar aromas washing over her and taking her home." bit.ly/46dMldR 🍜 bit.ly/42wdBnw
Just finished the book The Possibility of Life by Jaime Green (2023) and it is a smart, conversational read about astrobiology (the science of life that might exist elsewhere in the universe) told through the lens of science fiction. Extremely well done, @jaimealyse !

It's not every day you find a dinosaur with such spectacular preservation that the skin is fossilized, offering hints about its behavior + social patterns. That's what makes Zuul special. My latest for @NHMU w/ upcoming DinoFest keynote Dr. David Evans

In our latest blog post, we interview Dr. Susannah Maidment, a keynote speaker at this year's DinoFest on January 27 and 28, about all things stegosaur. Check out this fascinating read now: bit.ly/3RZTfyp

What kind of damage could stegosaurs really do? Turns out, a lot more than you might think. This Allosaurus vertebra from NHMU's paleontology collections has a hole that suggests a stegosaur swung its spiky tail right at this unlucky predator with enough force to impact the bone.
New story up! I got to interview the illustrious @Tweetisaurus about her journey as a scientist, as well as Stegosaurus (my favorite dinosaur since I was a kid), for @NHMU, where Dr. Maidment is giving a keynote later this month: nhmu.utah.edu/articles/2024/…
My first piece for @NHMU is up! It's about an "evolutionarily significant" sea squirt fossil twice as old as the oldest dinosaur, how it arrived at the museum wrapped in red federal "EVIDENCE" tape, + how it eventually got a 9-page @NatureComms writeup.

Big thanks to @Lisa_M_Potter, @PlLife2 and several others from @NHMU who I'm not sure are on this site. I had fun working on this piece and it wouldn't have happened without y'all!

It's OUT! Last night's @kqedbaycurious book launch was worthy of the fascinating, weird & poignant Bay Area stories contained within @oallenprice's anthology. Thrilled to be among fellow contributors @aehsanipour @KQEDSashaKhokha @SoundsLkeBianca @TeacupInTheBay @hellodanpo ...
Just got done reading (listening to) The Road from Raqqa by @jordanconn and it was extremely worth my time and might be worth yours, too. Well done, Jordan.

"No one that I know is still losing sleep over how to convince climate deniers this kind of stuff... The argument about whether to move is over. All the arguments remaining are about speed, and cost, and distribution: Who pays, who benefits, who gets hurt, that kind of thing..."

Just pointing out that @kbeccaandrews has written an incredibly timely and important book AND I have ordered it AND she will be in San Francisco doing a reading @booksmith this Thursday (i.e. tomorrow) 🔖
Some news: In light of the #SCOTUS leak, we’re fast-tracking my book, “No Choice.” Pre-orders are live, and we have a cover! If you need me, I’ll be mainlining coffee and trying to remember to breathe. bit.ly/nochoicebook

Wondering why the weather in San Francisco is so different from Oakland or San Mateo? It’s all about how our topography interacts with the ocean and the weather. @hellodanpo explains for @Kqedbaycurious

The microclimates we experience in the Bay Area are the result of interesting interactions between our topography, geography and the weather. Layer up! @hellodanpo
