I think a really great way to understand how the general public views museums as nation-building tools is to look at how fake museums are used in theme parks.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, 🌱biologist Jason Thomas and I made bioplastic algae strings from @TheTechInteract using 🎃pumpkin purée as the base. We made it into a spooky “gourd”-ian knot/pumpkin!! @CorinneTakara @biophilebytes

Put some science in your spoop! You can add all kinds of ingredients when you try out our newest #biotinkering at home activity, Algae String. I had a blast finding all the things in my kitchen that can fluoresce!

Halloween at home: grab a UV light and go on a scavenger hunt around your house for fluorescent ingredients to make your algae string SPOOKY. Hint! We found turmeric, laundry detergent and peanut butter (😮) fluoresces. ✨✨

It's so much fun to see the crazy creative ideas people have to put in their algae string. Makes me wish I had more than just food coloring at home!

It’s the hot new bio thing, we call it... "ALGAE STRING."
In this activity you will use polymers made by algae and a bit of chemistry to create your own custom string!

This is a great post on “airborne" & and why we need to rethink our comm on it. “A major problem plaguing this discussion is the false dichotomy between “droplet” & “airborne” transmission that we use in healthcare settings (for simplicity of messaging..” @dan_diekema

When talking about decolonizing science, I often get asked what that would look like?
I should have known (and love) that the answer to that question is @Glamrou.

“If subatomic particles defy constructs all the time, why should we believe in fixed constructs of gender or any kind of reality?”
Drag performer & writer Amrou Al-Kadhi aka @Glamrou questions why gender should be binary when the physics which underpins the universe can change.

What a cool approach to non-invasive testing! Something like this would be a great tool for individuals to self-advocate in healthcare decisions, particularly when up against systemic racisim.

Knowing what toxins are in your body can prevent life-threatening diseases.
Students from @uwstout @StoutArtDesign
have designed a kelp-based bandana that turns color when detecting certain toxins on the wearer:
