I just went on a follow-fest for women with a PhD, but realized I'm already mutuals with almost everyone who shows up in the limited search results 😋

If you're a Dr. Gal or other female science communicator type, pop into the thread, say hi!

I'd love to learn about what you do 💜
(and I'm sure lots of others would too)

@alice I don’t have a PhD but I do SciArt embroidery, mostly anatomy related

I've never been able to get into Stoicism, but I still like reading about different philosophies. However, I also know that that is one where a lot of popular works deviate badly from the original.

So, a question: are Ryan Holiday's books solid/accurate? Are they in line with ancient Stoic philosophy? Are they a purely modern interpretation? Are they worth reading for growing my non-expert knowledge (in a positive, not just critiquing, way)?

@wendypalmer @aehdeschaine @bookstodon Seconding these recommendations! I also like William Irvine’s Guide to the Good Life.

UPDATE: Not my biliary system but a stealth UTI! I’m home with oral antibiotics after having some IV antibiotics in the hospital.

Hello from the ER where I finished signing my autumnal mitosis while waiting for tests and IV antibiotics. My biliary system is misbehaving again.

Two cells dividing embroidered on off white linen. A circle of brown stem stitch is the cell membrane, the corona radiata is in bright orangey yellow zig zag chain stitch. The edges of the dividing cells are in bright orange split stitch. The nucleolus of each cell is in bright yellow bullion stitch. The cytoplasm is stitched in variegated orange/brown thread in a mix of seed stitch and French knots. Some guide lines and Lia’s initials are marked in blue and stitched in off white whipped back stitch.

    What’s the most horrible noise you can make? I can hum and whistle at the same time and it is… not good

    @loren I once performed in a workshop version of a Klingon opera!

    @loren I remember seeing some audience members cringing 😂

    • A long wait at my GP’s yesterday meant I finished my autumnal mitosis sampler except for signing. I’ll be writing a pattern for this one!

A skein of off white embroidery thread sits on the edge.

    "Gen Z is bringing back reading," says The Week, which leads us to wonder what the heck it is we've been doing all these years. But, the publication explains, it's not just reading — it's real books, made of paper. Per research published in @TheConversationUS: "Gen Zers and millennials prefer books in print over e-books and audiobooks" which has manifested in an "unlikely love affair with their local libraries." Here's a breakdown of what might be happening. We want to know: How do you like to read these days?

    @CultureDesk @TheConversationUS @bookstodon I have fallen in love with the Libby app since I read a lot of fiction. But for nonfiction I usually prefer paper so I can mark things up. I will buy novels on paper if I think I might read it repeatedly, or if I know the text design is important. And poetry I always read on paper because how it sits on the page is so important.
