Physicist, airburst specialist, planetary defender, & CSI Fellow. I'm critical of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) which has strong links to global warming denial, creationism, & pseudoarchaeology. It relies on misinformation & fake peer review.

A representative of an anonymous client is trying to get me to remove this video conversation with @devoevomed.bsky.social about Colossal Biosciences "dire" wolves Sounds like Dr Lynch's critique of their poor science communication struck a nerve. Check it out here www.youtube.com/live/C9_gJ6_...

Cuts to NASA will have consequences too. We can’t do anything about an asteroid we never see until the sky lights up. Ask the 1500 people who were injured in the Chelyabinsk blast.

Our #asteroidinstitute team launched a demo of ADAM::Impact Probability, a new tool to simulate and visualize potential impact risks from near-Earth #asteroids over the next 75 years. Hear from one of our engineers on how it works and how you can use it. bit.ly/43ibeXC

If roses were flowers, the name "roses" wouldn't have to exist. You'd just call them flowers.

To be clear: *Cows—even high-born organically fed cows—are covered in shit *Filtering does not remove bacteria, it has to be heat-killed *Raw milk consumers are more than 800x more likely to get sick and almost 50x more likely to be hospitalized compared to pasteurized milk consumers.

It takes persistence to get even the worst papers retracted. I posted this nearly 3 years ago. www.boslough.us/blog/bunch

The great thing about this comic is that it will piss off MAGAs but they won’t be able to say anything because they know that most Americans appreciate those who sacrificed.

The same day Scientific Reports (@nature.com) retracted the Sodom Comet paper, it was "submitted" to a journal controlled by the authors, which "accepted" it 10 days later. Do you really think they fixed all the problems?

"White genocide" has been a longstanding American myth, going back to the early Republic, when some of the new country's most famous names claimed that Native Americans needed to be exterminated because they had committed genocide against a lost (and fictitious) white race of Mound Builders.

“Many South Africans — Black and white — bar a small rightwing minority, are incredulous.” I can vouch for this. At the community dinner table at a hotel in the Great Karoo where we stayed last night, every white South African put the word “refugees” in air quotes. www.npr.org/2025/05/12/n...

Biblical apologism in Science does not fly. Tell Hammam was not hit by a comet; this was not the biblical Sodom and Gomorra event.

This opinion piece by CRG booster James Powell hasn't aged well. With no sense of irony or shame by the author, it was not peer reviewed. It was not fact checked. It was not even copy edited and the author couldn't be bothered to proofread his own work. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
