Hank Green AI controversy raises questions for science communicators www.scientificamerican.com/article/hank...

Crater Fact Friday ☄️DID YOU KNOW☄️ Venus lacks craters <~2km, due to its extremely dense atmosphere? Large craters that do form exhibit ejecta with sinuous flows, similar to lava flows, because surface rocks are easily melted by the high pressures and temperatures reached during the impact.

🚨BREAKING: the Senate will vote in A FEW HOURS on a bill keeping NASA funded & political appointees out of science grants. Without it, the government could shut down, a 46% NASA science cut, and political appointees would override peer review. Use your voice. ⬇️ www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

I talked to Krystal Two Bulls and Joseph White Eyes about how Native organizers are resisting the sprawl of data centers in Indian Country. We also discussed how chatbots, robots, mineral extraction, and surveillance are affecting Native communities.

How do I tell my students that the graphics I make for class aren't AI and just look Like This because I have terrible taste and make bad graphics for the love of the game

This is it. And I’d add, a lot of us have done SciComm, for free, essentially as a time-consuming hobby, because it wasn’t well-respected or supported in academia and only a few lucky people were able to find, or build, paid SciComm work to make it career.

One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.

One of my favourite things about anarchism is that the idea of free and voluntary society by cooperation rather than violence is so dangerous the popular media has had to repeatedly create fictional "anarchists" that are just stereotype of the most dangerous psychopath imaginable for deterrence.

Anyone else remember Bond villain Renard from The World is Not Enough (1999) whose gimmick was he was shot in the head, survived, but the bullet was stuck in his head and was slowly moving through his brain, destroying his medulla oblongata, so over time he got superpowers of not feeling anything?

Woke up the middle of the night and couldn’t remember the word “stromatolite”

This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.

"In 2022, Wiley removed over 1,300 ebooks from academic library collections; [they said] perpetual access is not an option for subscribed content. In 2025, Clarivate,... announced they would stop offering libraries perpetual access licenses for ebooks and primary-source digital collections."

Yeah, and Adeene plans to drop a probe down the vents on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. All I need is for everyone to disregard reality and give me all your money

I think we can agree that AI detectors are out. But universities are ignoring the fact that faculty cannot really out-design assessments to meet the challenges of this moment. We need sustained institutional support to be the best teachers we can be, and we aren't getting it.

Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered.com · 4d ago

AI Detectors Are Out, New Assessments Are In A growing number of universities have prohibited AI detectors, arguing they are ‘unreliable’ indicators of cheating. But where does that leave faculty, who know all too well that cheating is rampant in the age of AI? https://bit.ly/4wGitF7 #EDUSky

President Trump and OK Gov Stitt are trying to put a $4 billion aluminum smelter on the Muscogee Reservation. But the tribe opposes the project–which would pollute the air, contaminate water, harm wildlife, and disrupt the energy grid. www.kosu.org/muscogee-nat...
