Happy (late) Thanksgiving, everyone! I am so thankful that y’all have stuck around to share my love of science with me! 🚀🧬🔭🧪🧫👩🏻‍🔬

In support of our Indigenous People here in North America, I want to show you a map you don’t always get to see. Visit this site for an even better visual!

Native American women are much more likely to be the victims of violence than the general American population. To learn more, find resources, and support those helping to bring justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women, consult the links below...

I’ve spent three hours now researching the history of nuclear energy, so if you have questions about that now would be the best time to ask. ☢️

Today in Science History:

The first nuclear reactor, dubbed Chicago Pile-1, was constructed on a squash court underneath the University of Chicago by a team led by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. It was made of of a “pile” of uranium, graphite (used as a moderator) and cadmium control rods, which act as neutron absorbers to “control” or “slow down” the reaction. It first achieved a self sustaining nuclear reaction on December 2nd, 1942 at 3:25 pm.

An appreciation post for one of my favorite birds, the Anhinga! These birds are good divers and will completely submerge to catch their prey. Since they have no oils on their wings to repel water, anhingas have to stretch out their wings to let them dry before they can fly! 🐦

“More and more colleges are testing wastewater from dorms to monitor the spread of the coronavirus. It's often cheaper — and can detect an infection days before respiratory symptoms show up, or even if they never do.”

Interesting work being done by colleges to prevent/control the spread of COVID-19! 🦠

Did y’all have flesh eating bacteria on your 2020 bingo card? Vibrio bacteria has been wreaking havoc long before 2020, and will only become more prevalent with the effects of climate change. Unfortunately, this has to be treated as an emerging threat to human health. Currently, severe vibrio infection (“flesh-eating”) is rare, but lesser forms of infection often go undiagnosed. This could lead to cases going unreported, and the threat underestimated.

A follow up to my previous post on Vibrio prevalence in North and South Carolina! A great example of how climate change won’t just affect wildlife and natural places, but also human health! And this is just the tip of the melting iceberg of climate change and human health interactions.....

I really wanted to post something about the “Plandemic” “documentary” (I use that word very lightly since I enjoy well done documentaries), but I came across this viral post on Facebook from Dr. Kat Montgomery, board-certified Pathologist with a Masters degree in Epidemiology. As a disclaimer, I, personally, have not watched “Plandemic” in its entirety at the time of posting, but I have heard many of the claims from this video repeated over and over on my social media. I will link all the sources she uses for her claims at the bottom of this article, since trying to get links from these pictures will be clunky at best. Stay well and be kind to one another!
