My week on @Realscientists- I was honored to curate the rotating Twitter account for a week in July 2015. Here's a compilation of my reflections on research, teaching, mentoring, motivation, collaboration, and snapshots of what it's like to be a scientist going between science and communications at the Our Common Future Under Climate Change conference. July 2015.
