If you are a #Disabled #Science #Writer (like me) note this NASA funded retreat in Jan/Feb 2023. It's virtual, no fee, through the @TREX_SSERVI node of which I'm a part. #SciComm #Disability #DisabledInSTEM trex.psi.edu/enhancing-the-s… Please boost! @SFdirewolf @disabledinspace
A long narrow digital banner image, overall an ivory tone with a narrow black frame. The background image is a semi-transparent picture of the Moon starting on the right, showing lunar impact craters, which grades softly into an image of the tip of a fountain pen a a few black cursive words on the right. Overall, there is a black text title of three lines, each line indented from the first. The text reads "Enhancing the Science Communication Capabilities of Disabled Writers - The Moon as a Catalyst."

It's late in #FountainPenDay but I'm here to celebrate. I started using fountain pens during the pandemic - practicing every day - and now I can read my once illegible writing! Plus, it turns out to be fun! #FountainPenDay2022 #FountainPen #PenAndInk #FountainPenCommunity
A page of lined, ivory paper. Every other line is staggered with the words "Happy Fountain Pen Day!" in calligraphic handwriting of different colored inks. On top is a bright red fountain pen with the cap off, angled to lay across the page.

This is where I'll be today and tomorrow! Looking forward to learning all the things. So glad this is virtual, since I'd be unable to attend otherwise. Workshop w a chat community on the side to deepen participation is 👍 Virtual and/or hybrid must be our standard from now on.
