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

I would eat this mammoth meatball!!!

Stop me if you’ve herd this one... A company has made a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct mammoth. The meatball, meant to spark debate about cultivated meat, has not been tasted, even by its creators. apne.ws/cmEqU13

I will not forget you sticking up for us part-timers and temps in that last meeting! @gabrielspitzer , I'm gonna miss our gab sessions with @margaretcirino! I will be on the lookout for PNW/remote jobs too!

I’m afraid I am one of the casualties. Working w/the team @NPRShortWave for the past year has been a beautiful dream, and unfortunately now it’s time to wake up.
Please do send me your job listings/freelance opportunities. And you should keep listening to the show; I sure will.

It's taken me a few days to fully comprehend that the team I love has been torn apart. @aaronscottNPR, it's been such a comfort to have you as my host twin. You're always kind & thoughtful. I'm heartbroken but also thankful we got to live out your vision of a live event at AAAS!

Since getting hired to host @NPRShortWave w/ inimitable @emilykwong1234, I've felt like I'm living in a dream. Who gets to work w/an amazing team to interview brilliant scientists & chase curiosity every frickin' day?? But all dreams end. Half our team was laid off, incl myself.

Wow! I am completely honored by this comparison. Can I be DC? I know it isn't great now in the film realm but I am just loyal.
24 Feb 2023
As an avid @NPRShortWave fan, I am so, so, SO excited for today's show with guest @ScienceRegina and the amazing @JDankosky. It's going to be a great @scifri! Like, it's practically a Marvel/DC crossover happening here, people.

OK! I love this episode about doctors swallowing #LEGO heads. @margaretcirino is a genius producer! @aznfusion's hilarious!
Regret: Not talking abt 🌽! The phrase my kid & I repeat once a week (from @AndyRichter & @ConanOBrien) didn't make it.
Corn, when did I have corn? (1/2)

"This episode contains frequent and mildly graphic mentions of poop."'
@ScienceRegina provides possibly the greatest disclaimer to any Short Wave episode intro ever?
Starring: the incomparable @aznfusion and six ER doctors pooping Lego heads

In @aznfusion 's article, they talk about how the researchers were not allowed to eat corn during the study because #LEGO heads look too much like kernels!😂 (2/2)
