We love science stories that are shaping the technology of tomorrow.

Our latest spotlights Prof. @ShyamGollakota and his work on headphones that intelligently tune out the chaos and lock onto the sounds that actually matter.

You don’t have to answer a question to make progress; it’s more than enough to formulate one well.

As a child, newspaper art always impressed and inspired me. I kept so many cuttings in my drawers as collectables.

Are we still reading newspapers in 2026?

Another vigilant nation is #Iceland. Icelanders have wonderfully intertwined their lives with the nature they have been bestowed: from volcanic rocks to hot sulphur springs.
And now they are also paying heed to the collapse of ocean currents.https://t.co/s6ySpbXQfj

There are some countries, like Switzerland, that have thought well-ahead about our impact on the environment. From how we dispose of garbage to how small creatures play a role in our ecosystems. #climateconscious #newyorktimes #Switzerland

I am recruiting graduate students for Fall 2026! The Microbial Ecosystems Lab https://t.co/3kMbBq22oB at ASU studies microbial interactions, spatial ecology, and imaging-driven microbiome science. If you love microbes, microfluidics, or single-cell analysis, let’s talk!

Phillip Isola studies how intelligent machines “think” and perceive the world, to ensure AI is safely integrated into human society. “I see all the different kinds of intelligence as having a lot of commonalities, and I’d like to understand those commonalities,” he says. https://t.co/6RFSptdfFb

Fluorescein-based dyes are not valid reporters of oxidative stress in bacteria, and conclusions based on their use must be reconsidered https://t.co/2pTOhw6Mf9

As the U.S. gov moves towards selectively revoking research grants and cutting federal research jobs, the scientific community is left asking:

What can we do, and are these actions even constitutional?

Before you start a podcast or plan that exciting event, you may want to ask yourself, "Why?"

This wonderful resource from the @AldaCenter is open-access!

Come learn the tricks of giving a BAD talk: begin the process by organizing your slides - the more, the better, try to impress, run over your time, embrace distractions, and treat questions as threats!
Join us tomorrow at Weill Cornell for this month's Postdoc Night Science NYC!

Let's discuss coral ecosystems living in niches still under explored and centers that are looking at reefs beyond endangered habitats- as living blueprints for adaptation.

Also featuring @peixotors from @KAUST
