Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five canonical nucleobases (A, G, C, T, U). Their presence in Ryugu and Bennu supports the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth. http://dlvr.it/TRWtVp ☄️

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled in favor of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social and issued a preliminary injunction against the CDC. The ruling pauses the Jan 2026 childhood immunization schedule revisions, blocks RFK Jr's 13 recent ACIP member appointments, and pauses all votes taken by the committee.

THREAD The first full year of tracking research on @bsky.app Hi, we are Altmetric, and we track how research is communicated across the web. We now have one full calendar year of Bluesky research data and thought we'd have a looksie.

My name is Jeff meme with Altmetric replaced. Channing Tatum with his clothes on.

Just because it's being passed around a lot: NO, data centers in space do NOT benefit from space being cold. Space is cold in the formal sense we use to define temperature. But it is very bad at cooling. What would you rather have to cool hot metal: a lukewarm water tub or a giant cold atmosphere?

Kuulutus kirkossa enne konsertin alkua: "Tänne on tulossa paljon väkeä, tiivistäkää hieman, että kaikki mahtuvat istumaan, ettei tarvitse alkaa käännyttämään."

Sports *are* political, especially when we have a peloton full of corporations and state-sponsored teams doing sportswashing. Maybe read what Sylvain Adams has said about his goals for Israel-Premier Tech

“My objective is to project Israel through a different lens to the silent majority, the sports fans who are apolitical, those who don’t really know us but if you press them they’d probably have a negative view of the country because of how it’s portrayed in the media,” Adams continued.

GOOD THREAD: One more consequence of too many parked cars in cities (and one more reason to replace surface parking with trees and people-places). All those parked cars are making hot cities even hotter. (at a minimum, choose a white car.) #UrbanHeat

Adam Tranter@adamtranter.bsky.social · last yr.

Bad news for cities. 🚨 Cars are parked 95% of the time, eating up valuable street space. Now, new research from Lisbon shows parked cars are also intensifying urban heat: by as much as +3.8°C. 🌡️ 🧵

How the color of cars is contributing to the increase in heat in cities A study conducted in Lisbon by IGOT researchers shows that dark-colored cars parked in the sun can increase the air temperature around them by up to 3.8 degrees Celsius.

There's a lawsuit about AI stealing your work. It's the same lawyers taking on Elsevier et al in a separate case. Academics: 1. Check if your work is in LibGen at www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... 2. If so, let the lawyers know at www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Alex de Campi@alexdecampi.bsky.social · last yr.

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“Not only does this contribute to cognitive deskilling, with the potential erosion of a student’s ability to write, reason and think critically, but it could contribute to social deskilling, if students are not attending classes, asking lecturers questions or sharing ideas with their coursemates.”

Can AI contribute to social isolation amongst young people? What social skills might be lost through the use of advanced AI assistants? In our new post Meelina Isayas reflects on how AI might contribute to social deskilling. www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/blog/relatio...

if you watch the tech industry long enough you learn the promised benefits never materialize but the unforeseen harms continue to be perpetuated long after the companies move on to the next big thing yet governments are too worried about scaring away investment to do anything

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”
