If academics continue being complicit, science will end in America.

WE NEED TO STRIKE.

Why Sharing Your Scientific Publication on Social Media Isn’t Communicating Science I’m on multiple social media platforms, and I see the same thing over and over again: Scientist X posts a link to their new paper. 🧑‍🔬 “Excited to share my latest research on [insert obscure topic her...

New book arrived! I met Sue Coe when I was working as an installationist at the ASU Art Museum. Her advice to me was "Beware of people who don't drink or smoke." 20-year old me took that advice to ❤️. A gifted artist and inspirational woman. #suecoe #stepheneisenman #americanfascism

A friend sent me this link and wanted to know if there was any merit to it. It appears Melon Tusk is now peddling a diabetes cure that works in just 17 days.

I'm type 1, and so is my daughter, so I can't speak to whether this works or not because it doesn't apply to me; plus, I wouldn't waste my money. It's another snake oil scheme, and you're better off watching what you eat and exercising.

Can’t Wrap Your Head Around Pi? Here’s a Cool Visual to Help Pi is an irrational number, and like some irrational people it just goes on and on. What is it with this crazy, crucial number?

Happy Pi Day

Remember when Jewish headstones were being vandalized and destroyed the last time Trump was president? They didn't care about anti-semitism then, and they don't now. They just hate whoever has the darker skin.

Time to start an underground list of code words to use for science research in the U.S.

We need more missing politician posters for those avoiding their constituents

Is anything planned for Omaha or Lincoln this Friday? I can't find anything #nebraskabluedot #standupforscience #omaha

Science journalist friends, I am available for interviews, as are the leaders of several of these societies and the UCS leadership team. 🧪

DMs open, or whysharksmatter at gmail.

Ugh there are also giant worms in Viet Nam that I saw while doing fieldwork!

Well I'm not surprised to hear this but I am also disgusted

The best part about guest lecturing at elementary schools is the cool thank you notes that appear a week later.

"Have a nice science life" made me laugh. Thanks, I'm trying, but I work for a government agency, and life is a roller coaster right now.

I'm a scientist, but I'm also obsessed with quackery and the paranormal. I was pretty excited to meet Lydia Kang today at the Bookworm and snag a copy of her new book. @lydiakang.bsky.social #bookwormomaha #shoplocal #indiebookstores

PubMed down- one of the world’s most important biomedical resources is offline. 🧪😱

There's apparently a European alternative to PubMed.

Typical European infrastructure: absolutely everyone goes "I didn't know that existed".😀

But at least it's not censored or brought down by would-be-dictators.🧪

For Trump, 3 court losses in 90 minutes Three different federal judges delivered legal setbacks and slap downs to President Donald Trump in the span of an hour and a half on Tuesday in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken...

And there's 80 more cases pending

An EO has to pass two tests to be legit
It has to fall within the confines of the law
It has to fit within the framework of the constitution
Trump and his band of baboons couldn't write a legit EO if there lives depended on it.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny
