Dear Science Illustrators of Twitter, I think this is a new kind of scam — but not entirely sure. In any case I thought I’d give my #SciComm peers a heads up … just in case. I’ve recently received a few emails requesting Sci Comm illustration services.

Let us not forget that in 1954 Betty White’s show was canceled shortly after receiving backlash for her refusal to cancel Black tap dancer, Arthur Duncan. She extended his airtime instead, and responded to racists with “I’m sorry. Live with it.”

Holy Crap is this cool!
JUST, WOW.😍 Grab the popcorn because the @NASAPersevere rover has sent us a one-of-kind video of her Mars landing. For the first time in history, we can see multiple angles of what it looks like to touch down on the Red Planet. #CountdownToMars

THE MOONS SYMPHONY® and I fly to Vienna to witness its first orchestral read through with the incredible @marinalsop conducting her Vienna Symphony Orchestra on Oct 6. The beginning steps of a global mission in sharing its message of beauty, wonder, & HOPE. Science & music merge.

"Teflon critical mass by the fall of 2021"? This article still holds up: How long will we have to live like this? @jpinsk lays out four possible timelines for life returning to (somewhat) normal: theatlantic.com/family/archi…

Toni Morrison was a creative genius. So sad that she’ll no longer be telling stories in real life and very glad that her literature will live on forever.
Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while.

This fascinating animation brings NASA's most celebrated mission to life. 3D computer models based on recent satellite imagery re-create each step of the Apollo 11 mission and the terrain it covered. Kudos @EdBell7 !scientificamerican.com/artic…

The new @startrekcbs continues to be thoroughly excellent - leveraging diversity (in humans and other species) to make strong, believable, and utterly compelling characters...bravo

I was not able to attend the #aas233, so director @drfranksummers asked me to create a video to introduce moon Miranda, which was featured at An Evening of Symphonic and Cinematic Astronomy. Thanks to @RPappalardo for lending his thesis! @ArtOfAstronomy youtu.be/vjd7PJLlmFs
