Reviewing a scholarly work you thought was great requires simplicity and clarity. Reviewing a scholarly work you thought wasn’t great requires Jane Austen-levels of nuance and sociolinguistic encoding.

Being a pollster is the closest you can get to being Bruce Wayne and taking off your Batman mask and telling everyone you are Batman.

And two years later doing it again and people are genuinely surprised because they had forgotten you were Batman.

Here's another batch of neat folks to follow in the #ScienceWriting community.

@beebrookshire Will tell you why we like some critters and not others. (N.B.: may also talk about choral singing and/or neuroscience.)

@SeattleBryn Delightful human. Will happily tell you everything you could possibly want to know about poop.

@jperkel Tech editor at Nature. Mensch.

@ryanfm Knows a *LOT* about quantum computing, but will probably just tell you stuff about birbs...er, birds.

I'm a #novelist, comic book writer, & screenwriter. I've written a bunch of books, won some awards, and been published in a few languages. I'm a #WGA member, and have staffed on TV shows. Most of my work is genre-bending dramedy.

I hold an endowed chair at the U of Oregon, where I teach in the #MFA and in English/Comic Book Studies. I teach people how to become writers; many of my mentees have become very, very good ones.

On to February! The first one is a #gouache #painting of our #cat Cuda. He's the laziest animal in the house, therefore the most reliable model. Second is a #CaliforniaLandscape with the most vibrant wild mustard. The lemon and honey was an #oilpainting I did at the tail end of a Covid quarantine. Last one is a digital illustration to keep my #Photoshop skills from deteriorating, of our two kitties in their usual spot.

Good morning from the UK!

This is the death warrant of King Charles I, who was executed for 'treason' against his people on 30 Jan 1649.

What many signatories did not perhaps realise was that in signing their names, they were also writing their own death warrant too, when Charles II hunted many of them down following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

There's something about the red wax & the yellowed parchment that makes the document really visceral. #histodons #history #histodon
