I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

tinyurl.com/4bk4bj6a Nice write-up by @nerdychristie.bsky.social of the recent paper by Vásquez-Torres et al. on AI-designed snake toxin-neutralising proteins (tinyurl.com/55y297n9). Delighted to see my photo of a Naja nigricincta, taken in Namibia early last year, being used to illustrate it 😎🐍

The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is of 10 emperor penguin tracks - an update on our research! This is where the birds have gone since November: >1000 km, in some cases, from where they started. What's even better is three of the birds seem to have found each other after all that way. 🧪🌍🦑🦉

Liebe NGOs, liebe Initiativen, Aktivist*innen, Menschen, die etwas bewegen wollen! Bitte trennt Euch von Google Docs. Ich finde es fast körperlich unangenehm, da was reinschreiben zu müssen. Es gibt gute Alternativen, die eure politischen Kampagnen nicht zu Werbezwecken auswerten.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"
