Great to interview @JDRFUK as part of a feature I wrote on the uptake of continuous glucose monitoring. The future of diabetes care!

The specialised retinas of some nocturnal coral fish result in faster vision and greater sensitivity to dim and bright light, and the same adaptation may enable deep-sea animals to see in darkness https://t.co/ktoUTwb4ec

I spent the morning freezing my butt off on the side of the road to get a shot of this: That’s the International Space Station moving Mach 25 in low earth orbit transiting the moon 1000x further away!

@jjaron I’m guessing because of the parallel PS4 release. Still impressed with its load times and rendering relative to competition. SIE really leads the way with maintaining immersion whilst playing.

Do ants feel lucky? A study suggests they might – and a sweet reward makes them more likely to look on the bright side https://t.co/HY9xDJeYQ7

Interesting to see whether SpaceX’s Starship or NASA’s Artemis will get off the ground first

[ARCHIVED: NASA's Exploration Ground Systems @NASAGroundSys]

The team has encountered a hydrogen leak at the quick disconnect between the tail service mast umbilical and the rocket. Launch Director has signed off on a plan to warm up the line to try and reset the connection point.

Was there once life on Mars? @NASAPersevere’s latest samples could hold clues to answering this question.

Further analysis on Earth is needed to confirm, but one thing is sure – Perseverance has succeeded in capturing the rich samples we hoped for: https://t.co/D6VlYQWeLi

Seeing ‘Don’t Take The Money” (a song that’s so close to me) performed live by Bleachers has to be one of the greatest moments of my life @jackantonoff

New era of lunar exploration starting - cannot wait for the main mission in 2025 to see men and women on the surface of the moon for the first time since 1972.

[NASA @NASA]

🚀One rocket. One mission. Many ways to watch #Artemis I launch to the Moon.

See the thread for simulcasts, including how to watch in 4K. Pick your favorite, set a reminder, and spread the word.

The two-hour launch window opens at 8:33am EDT on Aug. 29. https://t.co/D9RaNE9Gfq
