Get Social: Hey, look at this hat on my dog!

Social media has turned out to be an excellent way to blow off steam during a pandemic.

While confined to your home, you can share your thoughts, entertainments, triumphs and worries with all the other people confined to their homes. In this week’s Get Social, what are Badgers doing at home?

BS @UWMadison, Dec 2013 -> PhD @CUBoulder, April 2020

I seem to have a habit of finishing degrees with a thumbs up in the snow. Successfully defended my PhD yesterday from behind an ikea desk made for small children! #PhDoneDidIt #PhDPandemic #VirtualDefense pic.twitter.com/CVP37XlNa7

Frequently singing this while helping my other half (also a Prof.) how to use online teaching tools & my toddler is loving it! I just got lucky to have been preparing for the launch of the 1st @UWMadison online degree in #personalfinance for the last 8 mo. https://t.co/U4pc6nz8E6

So I would like to introduce you to Quarantina—Tina for short—my new little jade plant that I will love & tend to as part of my own wellness practices during 30 days of #SaferAtHome in WI. Isn’t she the sweetest little thing? #QuarantineLife pic.twitter.com/M3sjtsecdg

So my weird/wild but true statement for today: “During a global pandemic I delivered homemade masks to community members in the middle of an April snowstorm” Like what? Why WI? (note: it’s just been flurrying off & on all day for like 10 min at a time. It’s fine just annoying) pic.twitter.com/hdC0za5tai
