“Ultracrepidarian: one who expresses opinions on matters beyond their expertise.” Sums up twitter?!? Enjoying rereading the graphic version of Sophie’s World.

@paperless_crane Chrisomes were babies in the first month of life, around baptism. (Refers to a sacred cloth/gown). And teeth are still killing people - that’s why we need universal dental coverage!!

Me: How did they die

1600s Doctor: Kil'd by accidents I'm afraid

@PeterAttiaMD @MartyMakary @ZDoggMD You said it yourself. This episode was long on opinions and short on evidence. That’s not what I’ve come to expect from you and we don’t need more opinionated griping on this issue in particular. Please back up with facts next time!

A team of Israeli scientists has taught goldfish to maneuver a robotic car.

The fish were trained to reach a target at the opposite end of a room in return for a fish food reward — something they could do repeatedly, even with obstacles in their way. https://t.co/wsgbeQWbSo

The fact that animals experience joy is not news if you ever saw that viral video of the crow repeatedly sliding down a snowy roof on a makeshift sled… but nice of the scientists to validate it!

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

It's no secret crows are smart. They are one of the few animals known to make tools. But would you believe doing it actually makes them happy? That's the finding of a recent paper which found that crows behaved more optimistically after using tools https://t.co/CgB2jRuxsa

For some context, the population of Norway is similar to that of South Carolina

In 2019, Norway had a *total* of 25 homicides, while South Carolina had 450 homicides committed with a firearm

My new piece looks at scientific fraud, ivermectin, Covid-19, and what we can do in the face of an onslaught of potentially fake research https://t.co/gLc3d0mmzW

Time to assume that health research is fraudulent until proven otherwise? - https://t.co/5nPb5ny6qe

In case I needed to repeat my message in pseudo-song. Texas’s new abortion ban is evil and unconstitutional, and it’s an actual infringement on choice and personal freedom. #AbortionIsHealthcare #ReproductiveRights

[AJ+ @ajplus]

A hotter future is now "locked in" due to lack of action on CO2 emissions, says a major UN report — calling it a "code red" for humanity.

▪️ Humans "unequivocally" to blame for climate crisis
▪️ Temps may hit Paris limit in 20 years
▪️ Rapid, major emissions changes needed
