These are excellent winners! The pros and cons of breeding pythons to eat. Can we believe some claims made about stem cell treatments for Parkinson's? "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Balanced, trustworthy information, delivered in an engaging way

[Sense about Science @senseaboutsci]

🤔Is snake meat a viable solution to saving our planet? Is stem cell therapy about to cure Parkinson's?

Our 2024 #HardingPrize for Trustworthy Communication winners show that science reporting works best when cutting through the hype.

[Lauren Jenner @LaurenzoJenner]

We detected microplastics in human lung tissue.

Very happy to get our paper accepted @RotchellJ @LauraSadofsky

Suprisingly, microplastics larger than expected found within all lung regions after QA/QC.
