Here's an example of the lengths @Pogue has gone to in order to make the science real and understandable. 🫡😂

Consider how much we rely on the explainers who help us understand science and technology. I did an interview with @Pogue—the award-winning science and tech journalist—all about the job of being a science communicator. I think you'll love it.

Hey, Twitter friends! If you're considering the other, gentler, elephant-themed social network, then now is good timing since Ivory by Tapbots launched today (iOS only, atm). For the record, things are much nicer over there. Come connect. :).

Just checking in to Twitter to say that I’ve moved to Mastodon and really like it. It’s a much more peaceful, friendly, pleasant experience. If you want to connect there, here’s my Mastodon profile:.

On the waitlist for Post. Trying out Mastodon. @aaronmiller@mas.to.

I ditched FB a year ago, and haven’t regretted it. I think the time has come to do the same with Twitter. I’ll keep my account, but want to try taking a long, long break and see how it goes. See you around, friends. 🫡.

In the end—like all movements—EA is what EA does. And the community decides that, not the principles they started with. 5/5.

As an observer, I think the EA community has many strengths, like its open-minded and collaborative nature. But it needs more boots-on-the-ground pragmatists who are actually delivering interventions, not just doing research or thought experiments. 4/.
