I suppose I should also confess that every single time I see the Stereo Chemistry logo my brain goes StereoooOOOO chemistry and I must FIGHT to not say it like that out loud
thanks @science_ari and @GinaCVitale for the nice sendoff... in which I reveal the desperate, dopey origin of one of my favorite episodes

A true #chemistry nerd, @absoluteKerri sourced this week's #Newscripts column in @cenmag from her home. Maybe she needs to get out more. cen.acs.org/business/consume…

😮 I think this unseats my previous No. 1 Dinner Party Science Fact about melanin making bird feathers stronger. Sorry @science_ari your bird fact has been demoted
The fact that flying squirrels are fluorescent keeps me up at night sometimes. Why, of all the mammals, are they fluorescent? And why pink?

so many things to say about this story that I can't even articulate them all. Please read it! Deaf people have many barriers to learning, especially in the sciences, that hearing people don't realize. I learned a lot writing it. If you are a hearing person, you should learn too.
A lack of signs for many scientific terms impedes deaf people’s entry into the sciences. Deaf scientists are trying to lower these barriers by developing more scientific American Sign Language signs. Learn how they’re expanding ASL's scientific vocabulary:
