No US Senator visited Ukraine more since the war began than Sen Graham. Regardless of your thoughts on his domestic politics, if you support Ukraine - Lindsey Graham was your ally! If any US Senator was on Putin's kill list, it was him. He was in Ukraine two days ago. He had just returned yesterday.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

Microbiologist & stem-cell researcher Dr. Ann Tsukamoto co-patented a process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells, 1991. Her work laid the literal groundwork for modern regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. She was born #OTD in 1952. #WomenInSTEM #medsky

A color photograph of Dr. Ann Tsukamoto (1952–present), the pioneering biologist and stem-cell researcher whose co-patented process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells revolutionized regenerative medicine and cancer therapeutics. Dr. Tsukamoto smiles warmly directly at the camera, her expression radiating intelligence, approachable confidence, and a proud, serene mood. She has shoulder-length, wavy grey and silver hair parted slightly to the side, framing her face. She wears a structured, dark grey or olive-green textured tweed jacket with an elegant raised mandarin collar. The background is a soft, beautifully blurred out-of-focus garden setting filled with lush green foliage, fronds, and natural sunlight filtering through the trees. The bright lighting casts a soft glow on her features, highlighting her historic legacy as a monumental figure for women in STEM.

We could do with less veneration of every aspect of a system that has led to such plainly destructive results. If we idolized the imperfect architects of our system a little less, we might utilize the amendment process (and legislative leeway) to avoid train wrecks. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Marine biologist Dr. Joan Murrell Owens (b. #OTD 1933) faced racism & sickle-cell anemia kept her from diving. She persevered. With the support of the Smithsonian, she did her marine research thru the study of collection items & discovered a new genus & 3 new species of button corals. #WomenInSTEM

A back-and-white photograph of marine biologist and educator Dr. Joan Murrell Owens (1933–2011), who overcame the systemic barriers of racism and the physical limitations of sickle-cell anemia to become one of the first African American women to earn a PhD in geology, famously discovering three new species of button coral. Positioned in the right midground, she is looking directly at the viewer with a calm, intelligent, and dignified expression. Her dark hair is styled short and curly, framing a face characterized by wide, soulful eyes and a subtle, knowing smile. She wears a patterned blouse or top paired with a delicate, single-strand pearl necklace that sits elegantly against her collarbone. In the immediate left foreground sits a modern compound microscope, its black eyepiece and white metal body sharply defined. The setting is a laboratory or study, with soft-focus wooden shelves stacked with geological specimens and scientific materials visible in the shallow-depth-of-field background. The overall mood is one of quiet determination, intellectual authority, and historical distinction, beautifully capturing the essence of a pioneering woman in STEM whose legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists.

Octopus can change color using thousands of specialized pigment cells in their skin called chromatophores. By expanding and contracting these cells, they can change colors and skin textures in a fraction of a second. Some species are simply famous for their extreme abilities. #octopus #marinelife
