This is behind a paywall so I’ll just post the headline. This is a disaster for science education. It will now be easy for fundamentalists to opt kids out of, for example, classes that teach evolution, on the grounds it violates their religious beliefs. 😢

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Given all the rumors of Russian infiltration to the Administration, this is quite a slip. Is the missing apostrophe before the “s” — or after it?

NEWS: #NASAWebb has directly imaged a cold exoplanet in an extremely misaligned orbit for the first time. The observations have surprised researchers in more than one way: webbtelescope.pub/3ZSctun #AAS246 🔭 🧪

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the so-called Strawberry Moon is going to look like all other full moons. The danger in media pushing these nonevents as special is the public sees nothing extraordinary and loses interest… whereas the diff between total and partial solar eclipse means everything.🧪

First: eggs. Now: bananas.* It makes me wonder whether I've ever read a recipe for a banana soufflé.... *I've seen nothing yet about how "bananas" this administration is. That surprises me.

So excited to be a speaker at this year’s annual Ark Encounter Protest, where we defend science against pseudoscience. The discussion of whale penis length in this podcast is just a free add-on. We do intend to “bring the goods” on July 6. Join us!🧪 m.youtube.com/watch?v=tbk0...

Memories! The Beehive cluster was one of my freshman astronomy projects. I still get goosebumps when I recall that first telescopic view.
