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.

@cassi Yes! LOVE iNat! #CitizenScience
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
@Rahimilab Barrier surfaces are the most fascinating interfaces! Awesome to see more immunologists on this site!
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
@JohnGrossSF Hello from La Jolla Institute! Cheers for structural biology and virology!
@EvoEcoJoel Hello from a writer in immunology and a backyard Japanese quail owner!
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.
