Back on the podcast! I interned with Science back in 2011. I had no clue when I got the job that I would co-host their podcast for the next 6 months with @boron110. So crazy to be interviewed by her after all these years. Also, bat migration is super cool, so give it a listen!
A sinking ship is usually bad news. But not for the Floating Instrument Platform, or R/P FLIP, which sinks its stern and tips 90° to become a vertical platform for ocean research. https://t.co/krgn5Djitc
🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud.
⛔️These people are wrong⛔️
I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/
I’ve reported on infectious diseases for 15 years, but during the covid-19 pandemic and even more during the global outbreak of mpox clade IIb, I was shocked by the amount of misinformation I was seeing. Misinfo had always been part of any outbreak, but this felt different.

Now that I think about it, I'm not surprised at all that cats learn words as easily as babies do, if not more so—and they just don't let us know what they know. That and more of the best in @ScienceMagazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: https://t.co/awkvT2lh4E
In the latest #SciencePodcast🎙️, science journalist Mark Peplow joins host @boron110 to discuss #graphene’s journey over the last 20 years—from discovery, to hype, and now reality as it finally finds its place in technology and science.

A new glittery JWST image of Westerlund 1, located 12,000 light-years away! It's an open cluster, which are loosely packed groups of stars bound by gravity that formed from the same gas cloud. But this one holds many Wolf-Rayet stars, the most massive stars known, and we haven't found another cluster like it in the Milky Way! WR stars are so huge they burn through their material REALLY fast, with a lifespan of 100,000 years (compared to the Sun's lifespan of about 10 billion years). So this star cluster serves as a cosmic laboratory we use to study the evolution of the most massive stars known in the Universe.
In the latest #SciencePodcast🎙️, researcher Ning Zeng joins host @boron110 to talk about how an unearthed 3000-year-old log that has held on to most of its carbon is pretty good proof that we can efficiently put carbon underground at low cost by burying trees.

NEW: NASA is about to send an audacious spacecraft to paint a portrait of an icy moon hiding an ancient ocean.
It’s called Europa Clipper. And it’s going to change the way we understand not just our world, but every world, everywhere.
