The Biden IRA was creating Billions in economic opportunity and investment in clean energy. Trump luddites will claw it back. Ignorance in action, but solar continues to grow because it makes sense for the future.

🧠👶 Why can’t we remember being babies? New brain scans show infants do store memories – but the brain later loses access to them. Infantile amnesia is about forgetting, not failing to form memories. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scie... #SciComm #Neuroscience 🧪

There are some new maps of California rising and falling based on satellite observations. What really stands out is the Central Valley subsidence, primarily due to groundwater removal (used for agriculture etc.). This is very interesting work! 🧪 🧵1/4 earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15392...

This octopus is a sucker for jellies 🐙✨️⁠ ⁠ The seven-armed octopus, Haliphron atlanticus, has only been observed by MBARI’s ROVs three times in more than three decades. This one was holding the bell of an egg-yolk jellyfish in its arms—perhaps using its meal for defense or to help catch more prey.

This is important! Satellite rallies too! Going sends a message. Not going also sends a message. It's not self-serving for scientists to protest the war on science. Millions of people depend on us. A huge thank you to the early career scientists who are leading this! 🧪 #standupforscience

Happy Darwin Day! To celebrate, the National University of Singapore released a collection of historical depictions of Darwin and of his and Wallace's theory of evolution by natural selection. I like this portrait by Henry Furniss (1854 - 1925). See: www.wivb.com/business/pre... 🧪

Major landform terms #visualguide, but also shoutout mentions to: “Ravine” a deep, narrow valley with steep sides, often formed by a stream or river erosion, & a "gorge" is a very similar landform but considered to be steeper and more narrow, created by a river cutting through hard rock. #geography
