#tpmh #tuesdaytalk #sciencecommunication 7/16/2019 Partnerships Are KeyWe all stand on each other's shoulders.Partnerships are key to science communication! Take the TPMH as a prime example. Jess, Rachel, and Beth are scattered across the U.S. living their best post-doc lives but still regularly communicate and collaboratively run the TPMH.
Everyone needs partnerships but not everyone values them. One organization, VCU's Wellness Resource Center, values partnerships almost better than any other organization out there. Check out this podcast featuring Jess and follow them on Twitter for regular podcast links! #tpmh #tuesdaytalk #sciencecommunication 12/18/2018 Tuesday Talk with Comrade Dog!Hey y’all, it’s Comrade Dog here again to tell you more about Rachel’s research. She studies what makes new psychoactive substances (also known as designer drugs) addictive on the molecular level. That means linking parts of the structure of the molecule to specific drug effects, like its potential for misuse. You can see her recent talk on the amphetamine-type stimulant methcathinone here: https://youtu.be/q57ZYQbWPj0

10/30/2018 Tuesday TalkHi, I’m Winnie. My human is Jessica, president of the TPMH. Jessica loves to work from home so that she can play with me all day, even though I don’t always care and nap instead.
