New episode of Written in the Ocean CO₂ Emissions and the Ocean's Limits features Matthias Zabel and Enno Schefuß, who are studying how the ocean absorbs and stores carbon. 🎧️ Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and RSS. @frontiersmedia.bsky.social @unibremen.bsky.social

🧠 Mitochondria may do far more than power our cells: they might also help brain cells communicate, support memory & shape behaviour. ⚡ FRONTIERS fellow Giorgia Guglielmi unpacks the science in The Transmitter, in a story sparked by her #FRONTIERSresidency at ISTA, a year ago. 🔗 bit.ly/4eO2X3w

How the brain’s power plants may also influence its function

Mitochondria are not just cellular powerhouses; they actively help synapses communicate, shape memory and even influence behavior.

A year ago, as a resident journo at @istaresearch.bsky.social through the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social program, a conversation on a computational theory led me somewhere unexpected. The story, now in @thetransmitter.bsky.social, is about how mitochondria may shape synapses, memory and even behavior 👇

Great to see #FRONTIERSfellow Elise Cutts leading a workshop at the Complexity Science Hub on how scientists can communicate more intentionally on social media. She worked with researchers on how to approach social media writing with a clear understanding of audience and purpose.

The fabulous @elisecutts.bsky.social, our current @frontiersmedia.bsky.social journalist in residence, ran a fantastic lunchtime workshop on exactly this. Huge thanks to you, Elise! #Scicomm

Something complexity science teaches that I've found helpful in basically every field I cover as a science journalist is to be aware of scale. Depending on what scale you look at, you might see (or miss) very different things. (#FRONTIERSTakeover by @elisecutts.bsky.social)

Hello Bluesky! I'm @elisecutts.bsky.social and this week is my #FRONTIERSTakeover. I'm a science journalist who writes for magazines like Quanta and Sci Am, and I'm currently a journalist in residence at @csh.ac.at in Vienna. I was told I should post photos of myself. So... here I am:

Research ships rarely brave the Greenland Sea in winter. Early this year, scientists ventured into the ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the planet’s future.

It was interesting to witness how the K2-18b case was received among astronomers. Clearly it was negative. With a possible sign for life you need to be very careful. Also funny to see that it's not always the media that blows things up, but also 'top' scientists and their university PR divisions.

K2-18b is the name of an exoplanet that got quite some media attention recently, due to 'evidence' of a so-called bio-signature. But not really: https://www.standaard.be/natuur-en-wetenschap/nieuw-teken-van-buitenaards-leven-gevonden-maar-is-het-wel-van-biologische-oorsprong/58211002.html #takeover

So it's my turn to #takeover the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social account this week. Based at Leiden Observatory, I'm diving into exoplanet research. The obvious question is: how unique is planet Earth? And if not so, where are these "planet B's", and how can we find them? Stay tuned for some insights.
