The fight against poverty is like the fight against cancer. There are many fights, many solutions. #PovertyScience #sciwri15
Banerjee dice no sabemos suficiente todavía, tal vez - créditos d + cuantía a la gente adecuada pero CÓMO? #povertyscience #sciwri15
The poor are not a homogeneous category. It's not one fight says @MIT Prof. Abhijit Banerjee #povertyscience #sciwri15
'La lucha contra la pobreza es como la lucha contra cáncer: muchas luchas, muchas soluciones' #povertyscience #sciwri15
Surprised by studies showing zero long-term effect on income of microfinance programs for the poor. #sciwri15
Why there's excitement about #CRISPR: “It worked the first time I tried it” You don't often hear that in science #BiotechStories #SciWri15
In fight against poverty, "the truth is often uncomfortable." Our job as science writers: to seek the truth without fear or favor #sciwri15

#OceanMurcury Mercury the element, not the planet. Well shoot, I thought this was about astronomy! *sigh* learning...#sciwri15
@Harvard's Elsie Sunderland teed up to talk about mercury, fisheries and human health. #sciwri15
Mercury is an industrial pollutant both locally and globally. Transported through atmosphere #sciwri15
Why are we still worried about Mercury? #oceanmercury #sciwri15
At the talk on the global mercury (Hg) cycle. by Elsie Sunderland. #sciwri15
Sunderland: Most people get mercury via fish consumption #sciwri15
Keyboard on an old @BostonGlobe linotype machine. Thx to @wroush and @John_W_Henry for hooking up #sciwri15 http://t.co/j06nBjOPDm
How do emissions controls affect exposure? Or is it consumption of #seafood? #ocean exposure #sciwri15
the 'talk is starting' bell keeps making me look for the ice cream truck. #sciwri15
Sunderland: Two favorite symptoms of Mercury toxicity: Excessive shyness and Frothing at the mouth #sciwri15
Excited to be part of #sciwri15 where @dipp will be one of today's featured panelists. Come join us!
Sunderland: Ther ehave been cases of adult Mercury poisoning (acute) #sciwri15
Excessive shyness from mercury. Blame your social awkwardness on your fish intake. #OceanMercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: Richard Gelfond (CEO of IMAX) ate sushi 2x a day for 10 yrs - his blood had 13x ref dose of Hg #sciwri15
CEO of IMAX had acute mercury poisoning but he ate mainly Mercury laden fish- there are only 5 species of fish to avoid #sciwri15
Acute mercury poisoning does happen in the US, but it is rare. (See CEO of IMAX.) #sciwri15
Moral of the story: don't eat sushi twice a day for a decade. Can lead to mercury poisoning. #OceanMercury #sciwri15
Type of mercury you're exposed to affects health results. #OceanMercury #sciwri15
Sunerland: only methyl mercury species is th eonly form that bio-magnifies in food webs #sciwri15
Symptom of mercury poisoning: "excessive" shyness. Blame awk encounters on swordfish meals, says Sunderland. Finally, an excuse. #sciwri15
Form of mercury determines health impact - methylmercury only one that biomagnifies in our system. #sciwri15
Hype about wearables may obscure their real usefulness. MIT's Michael Cima speaking at #SciWri15
Sunderland: playing with mercury (elemental) has low absorption efficiency #sciwri15
Listen to the data. #povertyscience #sciwri15 https://t.co/W1B2zKVmYr
Myth/maxim: If the poor receive money they will spend it on alcohol and cigarettes. Findings: no. #sciwri15 http://t.co/n8hA9xHk9T
A bell is rung to let us know that the next session is starting, and I always think of Monty Python: “Bring out your dead!” #sciwri15
MIT's Michael Cima: 'Science journalists probably the wonkiest audience I've spoken to in a while.' #sciwri15 #tinyNMR
Sunderland: the concern with exposure is methyl mercury in food webs #sciwri15
Mercury poisoning symptoms: mouth frothing and "excessive shyness" #sciwri15
Methylmercury is created in an aquatic environment #sciwri15
Sunderland: Methyl Mercury crosses both blood brain and placental barrier as well #sciwri15
Methyl Mercury (the big problem one, which can cross the blood brain barrier) comes from bacterial communities in oceans. #sciwri15
Methyl mercury has >90% absorption rate, crosses blood-brain barrier. #OceanMercury #sciwri15
@twliterary Info came from this terrific talk at #sciwri15 http://t.co/XbmNXHxRd2 not sure where data published.
Apex predators have most potential for methylmercury bio accumulation #sciwri15
Sunderland notes concentration in water is less a problem, that's why there's a bio-magnification problem (eating fish) #sciwri15
What’s awesome is the bell ringer has yelled this. This has made my day. #sciwri15
Sunderland: fetal brain in last trimester develops rapidly; it's more vulnerable to mercury #sciwri15
Developing fetus most sensitive to methylmercury- this risks are for women of childbearing age or pregnant #sciwri15
Myth if give cash, poor will purchase "temptation goods" but data shows consumption driven by lack hope. Hope key #povertyscience #sciwri15
Hg=global pollutant. Fish consumption globally should be considered esp since fish are looked to as future protein source #mercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: looking at three cohorts of children. Faroe Islands, Seychelles, New Zealand #sciwri15
#sciwri15 "Genetics loads the gun. Lifestyle and environment pull the trigger...." on diseases like cancer!
1st time "wonk" was explained to me, I was like"Oh.For a science writer, that's just being conscious" #sciwri15 https://t.co/sBvGZ6rwuJ
MIT's Michael Cima: 'Science journalists probably the wonkiest audience I've spoken to in a while.' #sciwri15 #tinyNMR
Don't eat pilot whales or most sharks #oceanmercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: we're very confident that methylmercury exposure is bad for the developing brain #sciwri15
Insight #PovertyScience "a little generosity goes a long way" abhijit banerjee @MIT poverty action lab #sciwri15
Very sure that mercury is bad for the developing brain. Regulations based on this, protecting kids. #sciwri15
Hey #SciWri15. Haven't met enough people? Let's meet for coffee!
Sunderland: EPA risk advisory ~ 1 ppm in the hair. 5.8 micrograms/ liter of blood #sciwri15
Waiting here at Harvard School of Engineering entrance for the #sciwri15 tour - how do I find you guys? Cc @wroush
Using people who eat apex predators have been used to determine policy on risks of consuming MeHg not #seafood #oceanmercury #sciwri15
No off on the science switch @ #sciwri15. On a break @MayoClinic attendee said: paper towels > blowers, per studies http://t.co/Je6S2JPfL6
Sunderland: Reference dose of 5.8 micrograms /liter of blood needs to be revisited #sciwri15
Methylmercury is bad for the developing brain, and especially for the fetal brain, which is why pregnant women shouldn't eat fish #sciwri15
Researchers very confident that methyl mercury is a neurotoxin. #OceanMercury #sciwri15
Giving small gift w immunization helps increase immunization rates bc helps remind folks to come for 5 shot series #povertyscience #sciwri15
Hoping to go to @storycollider tonight, if anyone has a ticket they don't plan to use. #sciwri15
Sunderland: children's IQ defects, also adult cardiovascular effects #sciwri15
HIV #sciwri15
Slide: Studies analyzing benefits attributable to MeHg exposure reductions not comprehensive #sciwri15
Las Apps de salud no enganchan (las automatizadas menos aún) #tinyNMR #sciwri15 http://t.co/tRFdHq80GJ
100K mobile health apps. if manual data entry, 67% abandoned after 6 months. if automated data entry... 74% abandoned/6mo #sciwri15
Cima #TinyNMR re: wearable tracking devices, ~65% stop use after 6 mos w/manual data entry, ~75% w/auto entry. Easier != more use. #sciwri15
Policy of eating #seafood should weigh benefits more than small risks of #oceanmercury #sciwri15
What happens if fish are your primary source of protein? #mercury is global pollutant. #sciwri15
#sciwri15 mercury talk emphasizes cardio risk. fails to note Harvard study that found no such correlation http://t.co/Rw1dnQaWQu
Noted: the connection between mercury exposure and cardio health called into question by Rimm et al. #sciwri15 (ht @dropeik)
Taking heart health impacts of MeHg can help with assessing risks for policy making of #seafood consumption & regulating mercury #sciwri15
On diagnosing disease: "Genetics loads the gun. Behavior and environment pull the trigger." Micheal Cima PhD #sciwri15

#sciwri15 Linking long look of Framingham + instant sensors = discoveries abt health? #sciwri15 #tinyNMR
Sunderland says reason thrown out huge amount of pushback from industry on regulation of mercury emissions #sciwri15
74% of people who have activity monitors (ie. fitbits) stop using them within 6 months @MichaelJCima #TinyNMR #SciWri15
@Paleophile It was an unfortunate choice for a hashtag as there was already postings for What Sauce. #sciwri15
Mercury emissions standards thrown out in June because unquantifiable findings? #sciwri15
Coal burning is source of #oceanmercury #sciwri15
SCOTUS overturned MATS rule based on the "Appropriate & Necessary" clause. Here's some background: http://t.co/Mm7QuqYHAz #sciwri15
Sunderland: says the SCOTUS said costs of regulation weren't considered; kicked back to DC Circuit #sciwri15
Sunderland: Supreme Court overturn of mercury air transmission utility regulations in June has created confusion, potential risks. #sciwri15
Sunderland: unquantified benefits have no value in policy making. #sciwri15 bc concrete benefit was to children of freshwater anglers
Data Quality Act seemed innocuous, had big impact for govt agencies and science. #sciwri15
Sunderland: we're reducing emissions to reduce exposure #sciwri15
Overheard: "I speak physicist better than I speak English." #hehe #sciwri15
Data Quality Act (2001), allowed the Bush admin to pull down info re:climate change. Small bit of legislation, big impact. #sciwri15
@DeviShastri Of course! Enjoy #sciwri15 and keep up the great work!
Sunderland: graph of Hg levels in fish, but the bar graph doesn't show error bars and variability #sciwri15
Sunderland: we need to know not just what fish you eat but where they are from #sciwri15
We want booth at #sciwri15 so fans can get photos with you, Deb. https://t.co/6mGOLTMxYu
He does such a great job. https://t.co/kVsWWRhKEC
Sunderland: in the US we like a lot of large pelagic migratory fish - mainly tuna #sciwri15
Mercury levels in fish depend on not just what kind of fish it is, but also where it comes from. #oceanmercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: Variability of mercury concentration in commercial fish reflects the environment from which it's harvested. #sciwri15
Eat a more variety of #seafood if you are worried about #oceanmercury #sciwri15
Variability in mercury refl. by enviro. Really need to know not only what kind of fish, but where they're from, says Sunderland #sciwri15
Sunderland: most of the Hg exposure is from marine fish #sciwri15 mostly tuna. swordfish, pollock
Here's the White House's page on Data Quality Act; note emphasis on "quality" & "objectivity" https://t.co/sfmelSV9A7 #sciwri15
@loveofscience @storycollider Look for @LizNeeley at #sciwri15 to ask about waitlist? She's collider director
Sunderland: where do those Hg emissions go and on what time scales? #sciwri15
We Americans really like large, pelagic fish - Sunderland, ie: swordfish, salmon. #sciwri15 #OceanMercury
#OceanMercury The MeHg of fish depends not only on the species of fish but where it comes from. Not considered: farm-raised fish #sciwri15
Note the HUGE error bars. (But lady behind me is wondering, "where's the salmon?") #sciwri15 https://t.co/fI8fcv7nEo
It's not just what fish you eat but where they are from. #sciwri15 http://t.co/pIkRkC7Y7j
Hoping tuna-lovers in line at Stratton @SUBWAY peek around corner...#sciwri15 http://t.co/HmLtK9d2uY
#oceanmercury has been in the natural world for millennia- fish have developed ways to protect themselves from Hg = Selenium #sciwri15
Sunderland: some Hg comes from volcanoes, most form humans (power plants) #sciwri15
#sciwri15 mercury talk on neurotox risk. no mention of Faroes finding - kids born to moms who ate HI MG fish lost just 1/4 of 1 IQ pt.
Sunderland: Hg(ii) is highly soluble. It can be naturally re-emitted #sciwri15
PSA: if you really must photograph every slide, for the love of god mute the camera sound effect on your phone. #sciwri15
Sunderland: every year 2000 Mega-grams from human sources and ~100 Megagrams from natural ones #sciwri15
Farm raised fish contain less mercury than wild fish. Wild fish are better quality and have more nutrients. Thoughts @altonbrown ? #sciwri15
Sunderland: where does Hg go in the environment and how long does it take to go back to sequestered form? #sciwri15
Turns out where water sits in your body - imp. indicator for hosp. pts #sciwri15 #tinyNMR http://t.co/bBPKijc8gz
Sunderland: there's a lasting signal from Hg in the environment #sciwri15
Sunderland: the first all time inventory for human Hg releases (David Streets et al) #sciwri15
Sunderland: three phases of Hg emissions #sciwri15
The good news is we bury released mercury in near coastal sediment; bad news is that the Army Corps likes to dredge - Sunderland, #sciwri15
Sunderland: first big pulse was 19th century - the gold rush #sciwri15
Sunderland: big surge was in coal use in the 20th century #sciwri15
😂#sciwri15 RT @EricFrancavilla: @[me] Let's all smack our program books to our heads like the clergy.
Sunderland: some researchers didn't think the pulse made sense in the 19th century #sciwri15
Sunderland: use of mercury in commercial products accounts for a huge amount #sciwri15
Use of mercury commercial products accounts for a huge amt of mercury releases, #OceanMercury #sciwri15

#sciwri15 #TinyNMR @MichaelJCima Where water is in body as important as how much water is in body.
#NMR can determine fluid concentrations in different body tissues, acc. to Michael Cima. Imp for disease, ie #CVD. #TinyNMR #sciwri15
Sunderland: the bad news is geological / biological reservoirs are enriched #sciwri15
Important to understand how critters up the food chain do this too #iloveosprey #sciwri15 https://t.co/VSFFWosSON
#oceanmercury has been in the natural world for millennia- fish have developed ways to protect themselves from Hg = Selenium #sciwri15
Mercury is everywhere and is mostly anthropogenic #sciwri15
Sunderland: most of the Hg in air is elemental / inorganic form small amt of methylmercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: we previously thought Mercury could only methylate in bottom sediments #sciwri15
#sciwri15 #TinyNMR @MichaelJCima 5 million days in hospital a year for congestive heart failure patients, mostly to get rid of water.
Hg methylated in more environments than previously thought #oceanmercury #sciwri15
Small changes in policy go unnoticed.... changes the way US regulates pollutants #oceanmercury #sciwri15
Sunderland: Many more environments capable of methylating mercury -- and thus impact publlc health -- than previously thought. #sciwri15
Hydroelectric dams: flooding can cause a pulse in methylmercury, methane and carbon - Sunderland, #sciwri15 #OceanMercury

We're always on the hunt for new ideas and writers. This is what we're looking for http://t.co/a4r79mWuo2 #pitching
Sunderland: you can create a pulse of mercury with flooding (Schartup et al) has implications for hydroelectric development #sciwri15
Here's the SciAdvances turns out more microbes can make methylHg than we thought. (Shout out to ORNL!) #sciwri15 http://t.co/xEuBpSBK9A
Sunderland: new sources of mercury methylation keep being discovered, things like hydroelectric development and flooding. #sciwri15
Methylating microbes are important in #mercury research #sciwri15
Arctic gets a raw deal. Global warming effects and mercury contamination. #sciwri15
#sciwri15 Water can be tracked in vivo with NMR machines and can determine patient health and outcomes!
Sunderland: Arctic is particularly vulnerable - ppl depend on fish for protein #sciwri15
Fish consumption advice: big difference between US and regions that rely on marine resources for nutrition #OceanMercury #sciwri15
#sciwri15 #TinyNMR @MichaelJCima hydration study at MGH now in people undergoing hemodialysis
Sunderland: it is possible to choose fish high in omega-3 and low in methylmercury #sciwri15
#sciwri15 #TinyNMR @MichaelJCima Using hydration status, you can tell the difference between who is sick and who is healthy.
Sunderland: FDA announced strategy to eliminate risk advisories: risk of eating no fish outweighed that of methylmercury exposure #sciwri15
Risks of NOT eating #seafood far outweigh risks #sciwri15 #oceanmercury
In places where ppl depend on subsistence fishing, risks of not eating fish may outweigh risks of eating them. :( #sciwri15 #oceanmercury
#sciwri15 mercury talk. risks and benefits of fish/oils v HG. No mention of 07 LANCET PPRS - OILS helped cog dev of fetus more than HG hurt
Sunderland: 2004 advisory was pregnant women should not eat certain fish; latest is to eat 2-3x a week #sciwri15

Q: What about + effects of selenium, ameliorates effects of mercury? Sunderland says hard to study currently in human populations #sciwri15
The risk of me eating fish is extremely low. #sciwri15
Sometimes poor kids don't learn bc curriculum set up so they fail. Data shows kids can learn past low expectations #PovertyScience #sciwri15
Q; time scale for re-sequestration of Hg? #sciwri15 A: there are several - you release some, scale is 1 to 10,000 years
.@MichaelJCima: devices get faster uptake when made similar to tools already familiar to docs #sciwri15
I'm really enthralled by this #TinyNMR presentation by Dr. Michael J. Cima. It gets me excited about my own medical invention. #sciwri15
sitting next to @dropeik is something of a cool thing for me; he was my local TV news anchor all through my school years #sciwri15
Most of the data in big data is meaningless. The challenge is looking for the signal, says MIT's @michaeljcima #sciwri15 #tinyNMR
It's not just what is the fish consumption advisory; it's what do people take away from advisory #sciwri15
Michael Cima: Biggest problem with big data? Most of it is meaningless. Hard to find the signal in the noise. #sciwri15
Sunderland: "It's not just the advisory; it's what people take away from the guidelines." Largely a comm problem. #sciwri15 #oceanmercury

"It's really a bang-less theory"--Alan Guth, re: the big bang theory, obvi. #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
.@guthstruth: Big Bang Theory tells us abt after the bang but not what banged, why it did so, & what happened b4 it. #sciwri15

Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore. @MIT campus is so well wired I'm sitting outside fully connected to Internet. #wifiheaven #sciwri15
Gravitational repulsion: the driving force behind big bang; patch of repulsive gravity need only be 10^-28 cm #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
Guth: The Big Bang theory is actually a "bangless" theory. Haha! #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
The weird part is that the whole universe grew by 10^28 - and it was still the size of a marble #sciwri15 #CosmicInflation
Tras la inflación, el pedazo de espacio destinado a ser nuestro universo tenía el tamaño de una canica, dice Guth
#CosmicInflation #sciwri15
Universe began more than a billion times smaller than size of proton; presently recognizable univ. size of marble #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
Guth: as the universe inflated matter did *not* thin out. Totl energy was conserved - How? #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
"Primordial soup" may be the best combination of two words ever made. #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
Guth: miracle #2: Energy is conserved bu tit isn't always positive #cosmicInflation #sciwri15
Guth gets into the evidence for #cosmicinflation: 1. The universe is pretty uniform (Cosmic background radiation) #sciwri15
Alan Guth: evidence of #CosmicInflation is large scale uniformity, esp seen in cosmic microwave bkgd radiation #sciwri15
As usual, it was wonderful to mingle with so many great minds at #sciwri15. My inspiration well is topped off!
Guth: 2. absent #cosmicinflation you need to transmit energy/information 100x light speed to get that uniformity #sciwri15
Listening to Alan Guth talk about his proposed theory of Inflation, aka the "bang" of The Big Bang. #cosmicinflation #sciwri15

Inflationary models the universe begins small and it's easier to establish cosmic uniformity #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Guth: inflation also solves the flatness problem - density of universe close to value for flat Euclidean space #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Guth: Ordinarily the universe would evolve so that it pulls away from flatness (1). #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Wish @RajMukhop good luck. Tonight she will do a @story_collider talk about reporting this story for us: http://t.co/umdFHHXz2M #sciwri15

Alan Guth: mass density at 1s after Big Bang is most accurately known number in physics, 1 to 15 decimal places. #CosmicInflation #sciwri15
Guth: but observations point to universe only having 0.2 - 0.3x mass for critical density #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Guth: there is small scale nonuniformity. Ripples at 1/100,000 scale. Where do they come from? #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Alan Guth: evidence for cosmic inflation: large-scale uniformity, "flatness" of universe and small-scale ripples of bg radiation #sciwri15

Guth: the BICEP2 data originally had a 5.9 sigma confidence level - that's pretty good #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
Guth: but data analysis later showed that dust was the reason for the observation #cosmicinflation but search goes on #sciwri15
Listening to Alan Guth explaining the BICEP2 result. "Alas," he says. Yep, that sums it up. #sciwri15 #cosmicinflation
Seriously which #sciwri15 organizer do we have to thank for this weather? Enjoyed my midafternoon walk thru @Harvard http://t.co/DOUzCB8YGg
.@guthstruth: Despite BICEP2's high-profile jump to conclusions, search for B-modes goes on, which would confirm inflation theory. #sciwri15
Guth: possible to find B-modes by ~2024 which would be strong evidence for #cosmicinflation #sciwri15
#sciwri15: our photographer for @story_collider tonight had to cancel unexpectedly. Any photogs attending want to shoot the event? (for pay)
.@guthstruth: even if B-modes not found, does not mean inflation theory not true. #sciwri15
Absence of gravitational waves would not disprove inflation -- Alan Guth #physics #sciwri15
Guth: journos emphasizing the new left out evidence discovered before. #cosmicinflation #sciwri15

#sciwri15 Wow, what a fantastic movie! Want to know how people can still deny climate change (and other "clear" topics)? Merchant of Doubt
Disinformation Doubt & Delay la tríada de la manipulación #sciwri15 (desinformación duda dilación)
Naomi Oreskes still gets requests from journos to refer them to "credible experts on the other side." WTF #sciwri15 #MerchantsOfDoubt
Standing ovation for @Harvard prof Naomi Orestes who coauthored book which @merchantsdoubt based #sciwri15

Hearing from @NaomiOreskes after seeing the film Merchants of Doubt based on her book by the same title. #sciwri15 http://t.co/WjlzMdhRsP
Oreskes says scientific evidence is one sided. S Colbert reality has a liberal bias #sciwri15
#sciwri15 @NaomiOreskes Liberals are more inclined to believe the science because science often supports the liberal perspective anyway
Problem when journalists present 2 sides of debate when science is completely on one side @Harvard Naomi Orestes @merchantsdoubt #sciwri15
Really good question from the audience: how do you know when to the argument becomes one sided (like climate change is)? #sciwri15
Any other #sciwri15 peeps walking from Regency to #StoryCollider? Maybe we can get a posse together.
"It is a lopsided movie because the truth is lopsided," says @NaomiOreskes. #sciwri15
"I think the biggest this climate change struggles with is that the basic facts are not what's new," says @NaomiOreskes. #sciwri15
Climate change is not a science story any more, now it's about action and inaction @merchantsdoubt Naomi Orestes @Harvard #sciwri15
Lo + importante en periodismo de #CambioClimatico es contar 'lo que no cambia' = base de decisiones políticas #sciwri15 dice @NaomiOreskes
@Paleophile Truly sorry about Arctic climate in Kresge. We were not able to get the renovation contractors to change it. #sciwri15
#sciwri15 So many political issues have become so tribalized that it's a waste of time to talk facts #globalwarming
“@DaveMosher: ?...:(beautiful)plasma when you put a powerful magnet nearby? ...: #sciwri15 #oooplasma http://t.co/HOmP2b3T9W”
.@NaomiOreskes: We don't need to persuade everyone. We need to persuade the key center and dispel confusion. #sciwri15
The science hasn't changed, but how to depoliticize argument? Don't have to convince all. @merchantsdoubt Naomi Orestes @Harvard #sciwri15
#sciwri15 We can make real change on important issues without consensus of the public. Always some you'll never convince #globalwarming
Basics of #climate not news, but should be says @NaomiOreskes: "The parts that aren't changing are the basis of decision-making." #sciwri15
#sciwri15 People will reject the facts when they don't like the implications
"People reject facts b/c they don't like their implications." @NaomiOreskes at #sciwri15 #climatechange #climate
25% think smoking doesn't cause cancer & we still have smoking restrictions so we don't need #climatechange deniers #sciwri15 @NaomiOreskes
had a great time at my first, but hopefully not last #sciwri15. many thanks to @kellyperil + Jill Sakai for their hospitality and advice!
"Facts of science are not under debate here. The debate is what to do about it. Thats debate I was happy to be part of" -Oreskes #sciwri15

@HowardYLAPE @carlzimmer I actually consulted this WHOLE doc on 3 different recent ethics questions I had. Answers weren't clear #sciwri15
@HowardYLAPE @carlzimmer Implication=“ethics lines here r clear; follow them” Lots situations not spelled out & path IS NOT clear #sciwri15
#ff my mentee @DeviShastri emerging science writer and diversity scholar at #sciwri15 She's one to watch.
@David_Dobbs @kzoosi @leHotz I worry my comments misinterpreted by many; I wasn’t saying “Sure, it’s ok to do X bc you need $” #sciwri15
@David_Dobbs @kzoosi @leHotz I was trying to say not all lines ARE clear; lots grey; influenced by changing industry & $ realities #sciwri15
