Time for Trust, But Verify: The Scientific Process, Science Literacy & Sources with @inurlibrary.bsky.social, @dnlee5.bsky.social, Sheryl Barbosa, Greg Hodgin, and moderator Vaughan James

Hi DragonCon! It’s time for information literacy on the Science Track, come on down to 209-211 at 5:30!

My favorite panel so far was monsterotica through @dconscitrack.bsky.social - the ballroom got to vote on some monster smash opportunities. Good thing this was Dragoncon After Dark

questions were asked! statements were stated! fists were bumped! amazement was had all around!

It’s no secret that Dragon Con has become the best pop culture convention in the galaxy. We couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing volunteer community. That’s why we’ve introduced “Dragon Con University” college scholarship program for our 5+ year volunteers & their legal dependents.

I thought that pelicans stretching their pouches over their own necks was the absolute weirdest they could look, I stand corrected

Shits tense right now. Here's a pelican for comic relief. 🪶

I was on a de-extinction panel at @dconscitrack.bsky.social with @dmos150.bsky.social and other amazing ppl called "We have wolves at home" And now people send me MORE stuff from Colossal, like "hey saw this and thought of u" The equivalent of "here, this tastes TERRIBLE! Try it!" 😂🤮

Did you attend our Fiber Arts Unraveled panel, or wish you had? I highly recommend this video on the science of knitting that goes into both the science of knitting, and the history of how "women's work" has intersected with the sciences www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btQ... #fiberarts

I Remade the SciShow Knitting Video (with accurate SCIENCE)

More Dragon Con notes: everyone needs to appreciate this slide from @tkingfisher.com from her talk on the four sexes of white-throated sparrows at the Solve for X variety show in the Science track ( @dconscitrack.bsky.social )

Hello new followers and THANK YOU for coming to my panels at DragonCon, telling me you liked my panels, and in general being amazing. If you can please do tate and review us in the app, and make sure Science Track gets all the bigger rooms it deserves!

Did you think Monstererotica Biology was a fake panel? It is actually a completely real panel that is starting right now! #dragoncon

1. I loved this panel. 2. I was the person who live-skeeted it...and remembered just how much I love doing that.

Welcome to “How to Build a Sec Unit” where we answer all your questions about human/bot constructs and their existential angst. Panelist @anisotoph.bsky.social brought his original Murderbot helmet signed by THE Martha Wells.

Oh, and did you get turned away from a panel you wanted to go to because the room filled up too quickly? Please add a comment in the ratings in the app to let DragonCon know. This could help us get a bigger room in the future so that we don’t have to turn anyone away.

Did you attend a Science Track panel this weekend that you loved? Go in the DragonCon app and rate those panels! Your ratings and comments help us to know what types of panels you love and we should do more of in the future!

I can’t believe the final panel on @dconscitrack.bsky.social was packed. Thank you everyone for coming to learn about sleep. Also putting me on this panel was a personal attack 😂
