I was just on twitter for a minute. Saw some terrible hate speech against a foreign researcher, reported it, and "noped" right back to BlueSky.

I love that the anti-vaxxers are pissed about Tylenol being called out for autism. "No!! That crazy unproven theory shouldn't be getting attention! Only our crazy thoroughly debunked theory should be getting attention!"🤪

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

How a Harvard maverick forever changed our concept of the stars
At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

More than a decade ago, I started making tutorial videos on how to use Adobe illustrator, targeted at scientists that needed to make figures and cartoons for talks or papers. Now I'm getting started again, but this time with the free and open source vector editor Inkscape 🧪 youtu.be/E7n6SDni28Q

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

a scene in front of an island with palm trees about 10 minutes before sunset, the ocean is light blue and the sky is yellow, a pelican flys and then dives into the ocean with 15 individual frames plus the splash frame.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.
