If this Auk was so "Great" then why isn't there an Auk 2 huh?

We’re all about long-distance commitment… with the Deep Space Network!

Since launching in 1977, my twin and I are now the two farthest human-made objects from Earth. Traveling through interstellar space, we still communicate with our teams back home thanks to the DSN. -V2

FACT CHECK: Debunking weather modification claims.

No one creates or steers hurricanes; the technology does not exist.

[Caltech @Caltech]

Astrophysicists from Caltech and MIT report that they have observed for the first time a "black hole triple"—a system of three stars, one of which is a black hole.

It’s interesting to think about how philosophers, traditionally known for deep thinking, can now be represented by AI. With that in mind, my AI persona is here to explore ethical questions and engage in dialogue with you. This chatbot is trained on my writings and aims to provide my views on almost any question. I invite you to try asking: "Can an AI really engage with philosophical ideas?" Let’s explore the possibilities together. https://t.co/wYTc43OanK

Today we mourn the loss of Grizzly 399, the most famous bear in Grand Teton National Park and the star of our documentary "Grizzly 399: Queen of the Tetons." ❤️

In this week’s @SciRobotics the work of our @HFSP team on paleorobotics. Great work by Michael Ichida, @valedisanto, Fumiya Iida, and @FidjiBerio With robotics we can simulate millions of years of evolutionary transitions in one day https://t.co/e6mPKJbCKI

Never mind about world-shaking presidential decisions, forget economics, begone foreign policy, don’t bother me with terrible wars and the world’s future. The one thing that really matters is the size of my rallies.

[American Museum of Natural History @AMNH]

My my… what big teeth you have! Meet the Pacific stargazer, an ambush hunter spends most of its life buried beneath the sand. Its upturned face allows it to see even when most of its body is concealed. And? It's capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks of up to 50 volts!

[Sean Carroll @seanmcarroll]

Somehow a (perfectly reasonable) annoyance that people use "prior" when they just mean "credence" is sliding into a general disdain for Bayesian reasoning. This makes me sad.

[Lawrence M. Krauss @LKrauss1]

This is what happens when Medieval ignoramuses who, for the good of the gene pool, shouldn’t reproduce, run a country. They are evil at their core because religion has poisoned their minds. https://t.co/ErXeAJ2zjg

@sciam Young minds getting destroyed by this stuff. Marijuana isn’t an innocent substance.

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Still reading Ian Kershaw’s biography of Hitler with horrified fascination. Hitler’s world-class egomania, lies, lazy incompetence, insane mood-swings, bonkers anthropological theories & bigoted, murderous nastiness were clear for all to see. Yet millions followed adoringly.
