With respectful apologies to vegans and vegetarians ...

Butcher paper is far, far cleaner than those styrofoam meat trays and shrink wrap. I will be taking no additional questions at this time.

In the '90s, Congress pulled the plug on the superconductor supercollider in #Texas.

[#]Denton was (& still is) full of DIYers, who brought the unused linear accelerator home to make radioisotopes. Some shady finance folks got involved and the plant was shuttered in 2009. #Radioactive waste and equipment has sat there since.

I'll be writing this story until I die, because impotent state agencies are a feature, not a bug, in Texas.

In the state's highest court today:

An #introduction to my book with Shahla, with a quote that's part of our thesis statement.

"We have a responsibility to raise our children with autism as best we can. Parents cannot sidestep this journey. This work is part of how we all develop as humans--nurturing children in ways that honor their humanity and invite full, rich lives."

Greetings all, this is my #introduction

I came to #science writing as a reporter first, explaining fracking as rigs went up in neighborhoods 20 years ago. Later, our town was the first Texas city to ban the practice.

Recently, I collaborated with a brilliant researcher and clinician writing a book that makes the science of human behavior accessible to caregivers--so their loved ones with autism can be happy and make progress.

I'm all in, y'all. Writing science in plain language is vital.
