A new study finds that audiences connect with scientists less through credentials or demographic similarity and more through human qualities like curiosity, authenticity, and clear communication.

As a robotics researcher, learning scientist, and author who has followed Realbotix for years, I'm compelled to do a Bluesky thread on this whole pivot that Realbotix is now trying, turning from humanoid sex robots to classroom "education" robots. Buckle up. nysfocus.com/2026/07/14/n... 🧵

Rural NY School To Launch Humanoid Robot Teacher

Plans to deploy a "lifelike" robot and avatar teaching assistant at Salamanca High School have sparked debate over the role of technology in schools.

This is a cool paper! Late Neanderthals in NW Europe had interconnected populations, were not inbred like Siberian Neanderthals, and didn't admix with humans - and yet they still go extinct a few thousands of years later. Something other than mutation meltdown was responsible for their extinction!

The Omnibus risks locking the EU into outdated, underprotective assessments while weakening accountability and scientific scrutiny. A reoriented framework grounded in clearly defined protection goals, robust premarket testing, systematic postauthorization monitoring www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

EU Omnibus proposal increases pesticide risks

More efficient environmental risk assessment and stronger protection are achievable

My @ucdavis.bsky.social colleague Laci Gerhart is doing extraordinary work: teaching natural history and participatory science in CA prisons, with a new $1.9M NSF grant to scale it statewide. The participants' curiosity and engagement shine through in this piece. biology.ucdavis.edu/news/trainin...

Training Naturalists Behind Prison Walls

A kestrel swoops to grab a smaller bird on the wing and eats it, right in front of a group of men in the garden at California Health Care Facility, or CHCF, a prison in Stockton, where the garden has ...

Sad to hear of the passing of Robert Ricklefs - a giant of Ecology who simultaneously pushed forward big ideas at multiple biological levels yet took time for detailed natural history .. McGill does a nice job summarizing his impressive contributions 🌐🧪 dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/r...
