For the last year and a bit, I've been writing a book, all about the science of beauty. It's called… The Science of Beauty. I'm great with names! It covers the basics (and not-so-basics) of skincare, haircare, makeup, nails, as well as general cosmetic science.

@AliciaStella Whenever I know I’m going to be in the sun I think of @LabMuffin ‘s Swiss cheese model of sun protection!

Why spend days planning, when you could spend them living? You deserve a Floriday.

What we mean by “wash your hands” during our ongoing covid pandemic is “wash your hands of responsibility”

gemini can literally k*ll itself it's fucking insane😭

Imagine if everything in life was as good as gold. It’s easy to invest in, could help grow your wealth, and protect it too. A timeless asset that stands strong when others may not.

Listen, we have way too many doctors trying to do research. Stop it. Go see some patients.

This is great. An overview of ways to protect yourself from getting sick, in a very accessible and digestible article from @LabMuffin https://t.co/T9dvuVExGv

Dear fellow scientists, Please stop doing these smug unhelpful dunks. Don't pretend you don't know what they mean. It's a lazy strawman argument, and this kind of thing confirms all the worst stereotypes of scientists. Sincerely, PhD chemist and science communicator

EAT a teaspoon of toothpaste at 100 ppb, that's the same as drinking two cups of water with safe lead levels

I'm begging science journalists to learn dose and concentration. "Detected" is useless information, there are atoms of heavy metals in everything. Dose = concentration x amount of toothpaste consumed The AAP recommends less than 1 ppb lead in drinking water, that means if you

Why is ☣️TOXIC WASTE☣️ being detected in shampoos? Here is the first FULL EPISODE of the @nerdcity podcast, w/reporting from 🔬 @LabMuffin Dr Michelle Wong (chemistry PhD) and @Flazefire (insane person) 🚨

A new report on the potential relationship between benzene and benzoyl peroxide was just released in @theJIDJournal. While I applaud continued efforts to address this important topic, I have some serious concerns with this study. 1/8 https://t.co/Sf50BqSyZd

It is important we understand the potential risk of benzoyl peroxide products to break down into benzene. In this letter, we discuss some of the limitations with respect to the methodology and framing of the recent Kucera et al. study in @theJIDJournal: https://t.co/415HsM5gOc

There's a big problem in beauty: misinformation. Science communication is fighting an uphill battle. Our mission is to increase the quality, volume and reach of accurate beauty science content. #beautyscicomm #beautyscience #scicomm #beautycommunity #science

Dangerous garbage being presented “science writing”. Two *actual* facts surrounding #COVID infection: 1. Your risk of #LongCOVID, a currently incurable chronic illness, after surviving an acute COVID infection currently sits conservatively at ~6-7% 2. Your risk of LC increases 1/

yeah this is gonna be stuck in my head every time i see someone self-describe as “holistic” from now on. thanks, @LabMuffin https://t.co/fnEkhQrcE9
