Hello! #introduction I'm a San Diego-based science writer with La Jolla Institute for Immunology. Working on immunology-related blog posts, press releases, features articles and more. I'm interested in #biology, #virology, #autoimmunity, #CancerResearch, #immunotherapy #PostdocLife, etc.
In my personal life, I'm passionate about #SciComm, #BackyardPoultry, #WomenInSTEM, and San Diego eateries!

Wanted to share shout outs today to a few amazing #SciArt illustrators I've been lucky enough to work with at LJI:
Ann Kiernan: https://annkiernan.com/ A painter with a captivating sense of color and movement in her pieces
Patricia Pauchnick: http://www.patriciapauchnick.com/ Her ink, paint, linocut, and embroidered pieces highlight beauty in the natural world
Liz Hui: https://www.instagram.com/lizhui_drawss/ Her muted illustrations of animals and plants look like they could be out of vintage textbooks—but they also have a slight fantasy feel.

I spend a lot of time writing about how #science really works behind the scenes. Today I wanted to highlight a few short pieces that I like to read for inspiration (and keep in a bookmarked folder!)
For your #SciComm inspiration : )
A wonderful mix of science and emotion - From Voice of San Diego: http://bit.ly/3G8wKmn
A short and sweet scientist profile - From Dartmouth Magazine: http://bit.ly/3DZuV8C
A look inside the battle behind the immune system and #COVID19 - from #UCSF Magazine: https://bit.ly/3G6l8jQ (because who said science writing and creative writing don't mix?)
Do you have any favorite pieces of #ScienceCommunications? I want to read them!
#STEM #WomenInSTEM #immunology #biology #InfectiousDisease #virology #SanDiego
Awesome to see the #scicomm posts on here! Any other #SanDiego #science writers making their way to Mastodon—or other members of the National Association of Science Writers? #NASW #sciencecommunications
Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection
Great paper by the Locksley lab on the role of skin ILC2s in promoting cutaneous integrity and preventing pathologic infestation by colonizing hair follicle mites. #immunology
National Association of Science Writer's Diversity Reporting Grant provides up to $1,500 to pursue a science, environment, or health-related story that elevates the perspectives of marginalized communities. The grants are open to *ANY* freelance reporter.
Deadline: 11:59 p.m. (eastern) on November 15.
More info here: https://www.nasw.org/2022DiversityReportingGrants
I should also add that I manager the LJI twitter account (@ljiresearch) one reason I want to check out Mastodon is to see how best to connect with scientists and science journalists now that twitter has changed hands.
