Thank you @AnilOza16 for being so amazing! We miss you at SW! I want to be the kind of reporter you are......GREAT! See ya on the East Coast!
today, on @NPRShortWave, I bring you: snails 🐌, worms 🪱, killifish 🐠, whales 🐳, lizards 🦎, finches 🦜, ostriches 🦤, mice 🐭 AND OF COURSE, RATS 🐀 @ScienceRegina & I talk about how rats became synonymous with research — and what a better model organism could look like https://t.co/RqtJgRvKwL
The book #ItWontAlwaysBeLikeThis was Amazing! I read it in one sitting! @MalakaGharib, it was a completely riveting & relatable story. As a fellow mixed kid with 2 non-western cultures, I felt so seen. Also, the music references = my childhood! I saw Sonic Youth 3 times in one yr
We got the rat beat!!!!!
