Always keep asking the relevant questions! Thank you, Crystal, for posting this thread:
Crystal Fleming is on sabbatical@alwaystheself.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A.

Interesting (as always) post by @johnhawks.net on the new East Asian #hominin dental proteomics data - you know when John says, "But I have a different take"...that you should sit up and take note! 👇 💀 💥 🧬 🦷 🔬
John Hawks@johnhawks.net · 6mo agoI feel a little heretical in saying that the headlines may say Homo erectus, but the Denisovan connection is pointing me a different direction. The connections over time within China are an old topic, and protein data has made them resurface again. www.johnhawks.net/p/rethinking...
Scientists have found one of the world’s largest cold-water coral reefs deep off Argentina. Home to dozens of species new to science, the reef already shows signs damage. Researchers are now testing "artificial corals" to help restore this fragile ecosystem. @elizabethalberts.bsky.social reports.

Once again it is time to contract your representatives: The FY27 budget request for NSF (see nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...) would get rid of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.
Great explanation of all the components of that stunning image - thank you, @astrokatie.com! 🚀🌔🌍🤩

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 7mo agoMore context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
