As a neuroscientist I spent more than half my career studying the sensory nerves of the lungs. This would have been an incredible tool to learn about how those nerves connect to the brain stem when I was still working in the lab. #neuroscience #SciSky www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In this World Cup ad, football star Luka Modrić is being coached to bet on whether 2026 will be the hottest year ever. Meanwhile, games are being played in extreme heat, putting players and fans at risk. Is there any more perfect symbol of where we are right now? 🤯😵‍💫😱 and a 🧵 on why this matters

These billionaires could do so much good in the world and still be billionaires, were it not for their insatiable hunger for more power and wealth. They are horrible human beings, undeserving of holding stewardship over such a powerful technology that can destabilize society.

This ruling is a cruel blow to hundreds of thousands of people who came to the US seeking safety after fleeing violence, war, and instability in their home countries, and who built their lives here under protections granted by our own laws. These are our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and relatives.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

I remember finding out about Christian's work because his paper was being promoted with gifs of salamanders in wind tunnels. I'm glad to say the conversation with him lived up to the hype! Join us for this livestream to learn more of what he's been up to in the past 4 yrs. tasteofscience.org/online

We're excited to start a "where are they now?" series with past guests starting with Christian Brown who'll be speaking at our online @tasteofscience.org fest this month. Listen to his episode: 2scientists.org/podcast/salamader, then RSVP tasteofscience.org/events/salamanders to learn what's new!

The response to this has been incredible. I stayed up until 3.30am this morning packing orders. Every single share of that post helped. And in just 24 hours you’re raised hundreds of pounds to help homeless lgbtq+ people. Thank you so so much ❤️
