Nice. Any band with two drummers is a great band... welcome to Bluesky!

Public Trust in Scientists and Views on Their Role in Policymaking Americans’ trust in scientists is slightly higher than it was last year, but remains lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

Have a great conference!

As a drummer myself, thank you! Red Barchetta could be an add and La Villa Strangiato is a master class in how drum breaks can make an already great song that much better.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,452,148! OK, so not the super-early adopter but I finally got here!

I'm so sad to hear that! His music critiques were must-reads and I loved his stories of the Dead and his relationship with David Crosby. He will be missed.

My first line is always, "Make to-do list..."

Yep, have always felt it makes more sense for us to do that as PIOs. Builds better relationships! Plus, fewer calls/emails asking, "Where can I find..."

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...👻🍬

Wait, no spiders on the cover?!?🕷️

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/...

Well, I've finally made it here! Looking forward to participating in some great conversations here on Bluesky!
