Found my 5 year old squeezing out a tube of Aquaphor into a bowl of water because he was "doing an experiment". We ended up doing solubility tests in water, hand sanitizer, and oil. Then we saw how soap dispersed it in water. He really enjoyed it and learned all about polarity and micelles 🧪👩‍🔬🍎🥽⚛️🧬

As someone who doesn't do research on fire, but has to talk about--more and more--in courses on environmental science and environmental change, the insight available from people in these starter packs is invaluable: bsky.app/starter-pack... and bsky.app/starter-pack...

This should be obvious, but judging by the claims of education traditionalists, it may bear repeating: Successful contestants on Jeopardy! may also happen to be highly smart, but we can't assume that's true just because they've managed to memorize a lot of information. The tendency to conflate […]

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals. But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

I’m writing a paper and I’m curious about something: How many biology teachers out there teach any form of bioinformatics? What tools do you use? Which unit? Also curious if you just don’t teach it at all. (I miss polls) #scied #skyenceteacher #biologyteacher #iteachbiology

"Coyotes are a sort of Goldilocks animal. They can be active during the day, or at night. They can hunt in groups, or survive solo. They’re wolfish enough to survive in the wild, but dog-like enough to blossom in the big city." NPR: Outside/In: No Regrets Coyote www.nhpr.org/environment/...

My favorite coyote fact is that the US quite literally declared war on coyotes, investing millions into campaigns to shoot, poison, and trap packs all throughout the country. The result? Coyote populations actually expanded. www.ttbook.org/interview/ho...

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment even after the schools ended any racial preferences then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random. Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
