Reminder: I’ll be doing a special webcast with Professor Tadd Truscott and PhD student Randy Hurd of The Splash Lab tomorrow Saturday, March 5th at 1pm EST! We’ll be talking about skipping elastic balls, people running on water, urine black holes, and much more. I will be posting the livestream link on Patreon tomorrow afternoon. If you want to tune in, you should sign up as an FYFD patron!
I’m excited to announce that I will be attending the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in San Francisco next month. This year I will be co-teaching a workshop on communicating science to general audiences. Here’s the lowdown:
Scientist-Reporter Workshop: How to tell your science story
Want to share your research with the public? Five experts lead a workshop on ways to draw attention to your research. Join science journalist Flora Lichtman, whose work has appeared on NPR, and in The New York Times and Popular Science; Jason Bardi, writer and Director of Media Services at AIP; Nicole Sharp, creator of “F! Yeah Fluid Dynamics”; Rachel Levy, creator of “Grandma got STEM” and biomechanic David Hu for a workshop on disseminating your research to news outlets.

We’ll have a follow-on to the workshop at Sunday night’s banquet. For those who can’t make it to the conference in person, never fear: we will be taking to the Internet, too. More on that at a later date.
So who all is coming?
