can we PLEASE move past NDT as The Science Communicator. i mean first, The Allegations. and second: he’s bad at it! being a condescending ass who turns science into an Elite Hobby For High IQ Men is literally the opposite of what we need from scicommers right now.

What goes into a single chapter of comics? A lot! The books as starting points, articles clipped from @newscientist.com & all the links to articles, research papers, videos, & more to draw it all. Most of this remains unseen, but it takes all this to make the work possible! #Nostos #Unflattening 2

Wonderful new book from @toomanyspectra.bsky.social on the universe and how life might arise & how likely (or unlikely) we are to come across it! Would’ve drawn on it for my previous chapter but also applies to my current - a clear read and offers lots to ponder on the possibilities out there…

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

if you thought i was annoying about physics, wait for my next book project, in which i am annoying about (amongst many other things) chemistry ☺️🧪🔬

Give Me Avi Loeb’s Job, You Cowards

It’s pretty simple. Like the title says, I am qualified to do Avi Loeb’s job, and he is not. Let’s take a look. Avi Loeb, what would you…

NEW SOUTHERN REACH NOVEL LET’S FUCKING GO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · last wk.

Pleased to finally announce... Abdication, the last Southern Reach novel! "There will come the days of the watcher, the drowned woman and the shadow of a man who keeps falling apart with each step, but first comes the moment the birds appear at night from the gaps between the stars, far from home."

probably my favorite activity I did this summer semester was my tie-dye universe activity! students learn about how early universe quantum fluctuations became large-scale structure—then, using the real wavelengths of their “cosmic visible background” they measure their CVB freeze-out temperature

Delighted to have hosted @toomanyspectra.bsky.social’s book launch last night. Cloudy with a Chance of Starships is like if your smartest, funniest neighborhood queer bestie gave you a master class in astrobiology over coffee and it was so fun to discuss it!

ok this is kind of out of my wheelhouse science-wise but what exactly is it about nebulae and other deep space objects that causes us to perceive them as beautiful? we didn’t evolve looking at anything like them (clouds maybe?), so like… what’s up with that?
