Hi Mastodon! I’m Sheril 👋

I am a scientist working in the U.S. Senate on policies related to energy, environment, ocean, ag & tech!

I also host Serving Up Science on PBS & wrote a couple of books.

My PhD is in community sustainability & I’m broadly interested in how we make decisions about science. #introduction

I also see no problem with Fed workers posting CVs next month or two, in the meantime, Mastodon loves you.

So funny: I read your introduction and and I think “ooh. There’s an interesting person, I should follow them!” I tap your profile and it says “Following” 😀

Past me obviously thought ahead for present me.

I'd say that is a good intro 😁 welcome to true independence from the corporate controled governments.

Hi Sheril. I'm a little confused because I've been following you on a mastodon client for a while now. Coincidently, I've just been experimenting with NOSTR and just saw you pop up there with this introduction - from a relay called: mastodon-social.mostr.pub

Guess I need to look into this. Anyway - thanks for your contributions.

@dpw Yes, I’ve been here a while, but felt a reintroduction was due ☺️

Hi, Sheril! 👋 I'm a writer and librarian (among many other things)
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Do you think you can make a honest diary of the years to come at your position ?
Even not publishing it right now if there are some things that are too sensitive or if you have some duty of neutrality, but as a historical record...
(assuming there's a future, of course, which is not guaranteed apparently)

You’ve been one of my favorite follows in the (almost) two years since I’ve joined. Thanks for sharing with us!

Welcome (again)! You were one of the first people I followed when I joined Mastodon in November 2022. I'm chucking (politely) at everyone replying who don't realize you've been here a while and this post is a reintroduction. 😉
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I've been following you for a while, thanks for this intro. I just wanted to let you know that, among other things, I'm working on ways to graphically depict arguments supporting decision making. Basis and provenance can be explored and invalid statements will be color coded as such.
