Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · last mo.Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely
![They Put a Hat on Me, Pardner
Pardner. My dearest pardner. I write to you with a great sadness in my heart.
I was resting my eyes, ever so briefly. Minding my own business. I felt a pressure upon me. A terrible and oppressive pressure.
The pressure was an awful object. The long-limbed creature who lives in my home placed it so close to my precious head.

Explain your @ I am not an organic geochemists, I'm a dinosaur. A Spanish speaking dinosaur... A *terrible lizard*, if you will
Antijen@antijen.bsky.social · 2mo agoExplain your @ I am Jen, a laboratory scientist who was always most at home in the blood bank, and a sucker for wordplay and puns.
ngl this thing where some people are willing to say "genAI is good for the boring parts of [task]" is part of what really hits my heart about all this, because there is a person out there who LOVES doing those parts you hate. this is why humans generally live and work in groups

One of my pet peeves is folks acting like the absence of proof is proof of absence. This is especially true of pre-Spanish Invasion Indigenous Mexican cultures like the Nahua peoples whom I study. A perfect example would be FRACTIONS. So many claim the "Aztecs" had no fractions. That's BS. 1/
This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

Imagine discovering a 500-million-year-old animal covered in spikes, with feathery arms that looked almost impossible to explain. For decades, paleontologists wondered what these bizarre creatures were actually doing in Cambrian oceans. 🧪 #SciComm

One of the craziest discoveries of a new 'living fossil' and Lazarus taxon - Laotian rock rat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laotian... the last member of Diatomyidae. Survived in the isolated mountain pockets. And here is fun video about it: youtube.com/shorts/sZI3Z... 🧪 ⚒️ #Geology #Paleobio #EvoBio
There is no "AI literacy" "Literacy" is assembling linguistic resources to read/write "Media literacy" is understanding the text/its intentions and the context/conditions of its production Inputting a prompt into an automation machine so it generates an assemblage of plagiarised slop is neither

They're the larval form for a wasp-like sawfly & they secrete tufts of wooly substance from epidermal glands to aid in camouflage. All hail the king! (📷: Robert Gromotka)

‼️New paper alert ‼️ We combined 16S amplicon sequencing and brGDGT analysis to look for correlations between microbial communities in water intubations. Our work also takes advantage of the latest studies in brGDGT producers to strengthen our findings using a bit of bioinformatics.
