... Buzz buzz. www.popsci.com/science/frui...

Ah! Well. Nevertheless... www.popsci.com/science/milk...

Just in case! (This isn't a threat, we swear) www.popsci.com/diy/how-to-s...

Sorry we haven't posted on here in 9 days. We're a small operation and the guy in charge of the account was overseas on vacation. He is very jetlagged and this article is a total coincidence. www.popsci.com/health/can-t...

We'll take what we can get right now, damnit. www.popsci.com/science/amer...

This totally justifies us vibrating in our office chair right now. www.popsci.com/health/coffe...

We need all the help we can get right now, alright? www.popsci.com/environment/...

Pshh. We could take him on. "Magnus vs. Popular Science" Let's make it happen, people. www.popsci.com/technology/c...

Yes. The answer is yes. (still click the link though, we always appreciate the traffic) www.popsci.com/health/do-i-...

Not sure how we got here. But here we are... www.popsci.com/health/is-mo...

New contender for Popular Science mascot just dropped www.popsci.com/environment/...

Compare that with us, who get spooked by every bee that flies too close to our ears. www.popsci.com/environment/...

KNIGHT: Squire! Fetch me my blade! SQUIRE: Which one, m'lord? KNIGHT: You know the one. SQUIRE: ... KNIGHT: ... SQUIRE: ...The testicle dagg— KNIGHT: Yes! Of course the testicle dagger. Honestly. And people wonder why we've got the Divine Right of Kings... www.popsci.com/science/test...

It's almost Hot Seaweed Summer! www.popsci.com/environment/...

Therapist: The kidnapping capuchin monkeys aren't real and can't hurt you. Nature: www.popsci.com/environment/...

Well. There's always room for improvement... www.popsci.com/science/firs...

PSA: 'Tis the season! www.popsci.com/environment/...

If they can do it, so can you! www.popsci.com/environment/...

Don't speak Korean? Don't worry! We (Popular Science US) published one of our sibling site's features in English for your enjoyment. 천만에요! www.popsci.com/science/aban...

Today we (and by "we," we mean the staffer running this account) learned that there's a Popular Science Korea... ? So that's pretty cool! www.popsci.co.kr

Total coincidence that Magna Carta content is going around right now. Nothing to do with society's fragile, often tenuous relationship with freedom, not to mention every individual's innate right to remain protected against the tyrannical machinations of madmen... www.popsci.com/science/harv...

Please don't be That Driver. You know the kind. www.popsci.com/technology/s...

this one's for the tummy ache havers, the gross-soda aficionados, the hot girl walkers, the Microbiome-curious www.popsci.com/science/will... for @popsci.com

Tired: Papal watch Wired: Puffin watch www.popsci.com/environment/...

Pray for our inboxes.

"About to steal this priceless piece of Greco-Roman art. Be sure to like and subscr--oh hello, officer! ... What am I doing here? Uhhh, hmm. Totally not what it looks like, that's for sure!" www.popsci.com/science/roma...

Kinda rude to make your prey incredibly dizzy before devouring them, to be honest... www.popsci.com/environment/...

We're out here asking the questions so you don't have to. www.popsci.com/science/will...

We're sorry... it does WHAT now? www.popsci.com/science/para...

There can only be one way to test this for sure. *turns on bath faucet* If you'll need us we'll be conducting a very important, candlelit experiment... soundtracked to that one audiobook we've been meaning to finish. www.popsci.com/science/fing...

Thanks, Hawking radiation! www.popsci.com/science/when...

... We'll go down there as soon as you do... www.popsci.com/environment/...

Look. Someone's gotta do this kind of work. www.popsci.com/science/why-...

Okay but can they hit the drop in "In The Air Tonight?" Never mind that we can't either. That's still checkmate, chimps! www.popsci.com/environment/...

New Popemobile just dropped. www.popsci.com/technology/f...

RT if you do not wish to be reborn in the unholy form of a horrorshow AI avatar after your demise. www.popsci.com/technology/a...

We got to be part of the awesome @popsci.com podcast weirdest thing with @jesscapricorn.bsky.social and @feltman.bsky.social to chat insect culture! Check out the write up below and listen to our fun discussion on some unique biology #scicomm #sciants #science www.popsci.com/science/gree...

Sorry, folks! No Pope today! www.popsci.com/science/what...

“I’m skeptical that some ‘billionaire bunkers’ will be particularly useful post catastrophe if civilization actually needs a reboot." Say it again for the billionaires in the back! www.popsci.com/environment/...

According to this study, pre-Incan elites dosed commoners with DMT, took them into tiny rooms, blasted conch horns at them, and kept saying "YoU ToTaLLy WaNt To BuiLd ThEsE GiAnT StOnE bUiLdiNgS fOr Us." (It worked, because of course it did) www.popsci.com/science/hall...

Meanwhile, we start huffing for air if we hold our breath too long while washing our hair... www.popsci.com/science/kore...

We're Team Amtrak. www.popsci.com/science/amtr...

*Seinfeld voice* What's the deal with airline seats?? *Popular Science voice* We actually have an answer for that. Also stop asking us to go on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry. It's beneath us. www.popsci.com/science/why-...
