🌌 A common question we get is, “Why perform research in space?” 🤔 In the latest @scifri.bsky.social episode, our Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, and Meenal Datta, PhD, explore numerous reasons — including the tendency of space to activate the “dark genome.” 🎧: bit.ly/3RoqLl0 #cancer #medicine #space

Today is World AIDS Day. “An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988. #WAD2025

Canaries were used in coal mines MUCH more recently than you might think (1986!), but I have a really neat artifact to share with you & I hope it brightens your day. Canaries were used as indicators for clear & odorless carbon monoxide (CO) gas that was a hazard to human health in deep coal mines.
Alamy image of a coal miner:
"Team member with canary in cage at Dinas mines rescue station Rhondda Valley South Wales UK used for detecting gas underground"
Date:  21 July 1992
Location:Rhondda Valley, South Wales Valleys, Cymru, UK

"Canaries were used as an early warning system underground in deep coal mines to detect the presence of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and methane. When taken into the mine in an open cage the bird would usually die when gas was detected."

Continuous monitoring of proteins in the interstitial fluid - a new way to track inflammation. Our research will continue to push this technology - hoping one day continuous monitoring will have many applications beyond glucose sensing. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

Stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope offers a timely reminder that there is so much beauty to be found in this universe, if we look for it.
This image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the Leo P dwarf galaxy (stars at lower right represented in blue). Leo P is a star-forming galaxy located about 5 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. A team of scientists collected data from about 15,000 stars in Leo P to deduce its star formation history. They determined that it went through three phases: an initial burst of star formation, a “pause” that lasted several billion years, and then a new round of star formation that is still continuing.

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them? what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too? what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things? what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?
