- I spent this great, rainy Saturday at the Science Museum of Minnesota because I tweet. Really, I think that’s the real reason I was invited. Me, a bunch of science folks and other interesting people like economics writer, Erik Hare and musician and nerd (not necessarily in that order), Jeremy Messersmith.
- I watched 1.5 cubic miles of Greenland glacier melt in 75 minutes with Will Steeger.
- I talked politics and partisanship with Shawn Otto because I want to use his book Fool Me Twice in a communications and science course at St. Catherine University.
- I listened to Maggie Koerth-Baker of boingboing.net share the history of the light bulb, maybe not so interesting until you realize it failed miserable for THIRTY years…
- And lastly, I went all fangirl chatting up Jeremy Messersmith. A gracious and smart rock star. Lucky me.

Thus, below is my storify of interesting Tweets from the the Great Minnesota Science Tweetup.

No. We are not well enough informed. #MNEarthDay I want to see politics exit k-12 education, but not just bash 1 party http://pic.twitter.com/Z1rIJ2YO
