For very very lovely #eclipse photos, follow @jarredpd. And if you’re moonstruck and want to know all kinds of planetary lunacy, the @ologies episode on #selenology with @thespacegeologist has you friggin covered.
Ooooh haaay, new episodes of “Did I Mention Invention?” (@cwinventiontv) are airing on @thecw — plus new @cbsinnovationtv episodes! This week I got to visit a massive underground rainwater cistern at @treepeople_org , and I didn’t want to leave when the shoot was over tbh. ANYWAY NEW EPISODES OF THE SATURDAY SCIENCE TV SHOWS I’M ON OKAY BYE NOW.
A week or so ago with a gaggle of my favorite folks for the Nerdmas gift exchange. I drew @sci_phile WHO DREW ME, and he gave me the most thoughtful gift: 48 squares of foam to podcast-proof my closet and then I was mortified because my present to him SUCKED SO BAD: socks, a candle and a Target gift card. I will be embarrassed forever because foam squares are such a nice gift. ANYWHOOZLE, follow all of these people because they are the best of the best. Also I’m sorry you got a Target gift card, Kyle.
This week’s @ologies is all about ❄️SNOOOW.❄️. Everything from snowflake architecture to firing World War II cannons at mountainsides, avalanches, snowball fights and lifesaving goat antelopes with avalanche expert and #snowhydrologist Dr. Ned Bair. Link in bio, my chilly fronds. Ps: this was taken last winter at my folks’ and this type of wet, heavy snow is what the locals call “Sierra cement” and let me tell you IT IS A BITCH TA SHOVEL
If you see a ridgey-lookin’ lump on a branch, it’s your lucky day! That’s a whole nursery of bebeh mantises that will burst forth like a drill team later. It’s called an #ootheca and I lost my mind spotting one on a bush in my parking lot. I whisper to it every day and say “Cook bebehs, cook. Soon the world will marvel at your triangle heads and giant green butts I love you.”
This is me asking the inventor of @popsockets one million questions on tomorrow’s @cbsinnovationtv. Also? Our showrunner @jimlichtenstein had custom @cwinventiontv “Did I Mention Invention?” Popsockets made ps “Did I Mention Invention?” is also on tomorrow and new episodes come back next week okay enough outta me bye
I went to Mars today. OKAY, UTAH, which is close. They let me borrow a spacesuit & a rock hammer and I accidentally danced about it. @cbsinnovationtv #mars #marsdesertresearchstation
Hello from the middle of nowhere, a place where I am eating peanut butter from the jar with a spoonstraw I found in my backpack like an actual human maniac
