#Insolence with #AIslop: On 🦋 , a guy with a "science/knowledge" website/patreon tried to stuck on me.
As a professional writer and journalist, I was surprised about his output, and shocked by the content (a horror for people with even only school knowledge). He earns money with that and has 16k followers.
Should I better become a wine merchant like many of my ex-colleagues? 😭 Feels like a bad scifi!🥶 Read ALT for more

Let's create a Hypothetical Elementary Particle called 'Nullion' that does not have any fundamental properties like mass, charge, spin, color charge, lepton number etc. It doesn't interact with light, electromagnetic waves, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, gravity, dark matter & dark energy. How will we detect this particle? 🤣😂

@allochthonous Beautiful! (But please, @NASA - you know perfectly well that cyanobacteria are precisely NOT 'plant-like organisms'. They're single prokaryotic cells, generally believed to be the origin of chloroplast organelles making eukaryotic and multi-cellular plant life possible in the first place. #SciComm)

Who's gonna be at GEO600 on Saturday? That's when the 10th Open Day at our gravitational-wave detector GEO600 will take place.

ℹ️ geo600.org/openday2025

Just drop by GEO600 south of Hanover, Germany, between 12:00 and 16:00 CEST, talk to our researchers, and get insights into a cutting-edge research facility.

This year, there will also be an information booth for our distributed computing project @einsteinathome.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of WiD, we are delighted to invite you to an international lunchtime talk on the evaluation of science communication. Everyone agrees that quality matters – but what does “good” evaluation actually mean?! Join us for the lunchtime talk 'Standards for the evaluation of science communication' on Monday, 8 September to discuss international perspectives from research and practice. Register here:

The road to scientific discoveries is often long and full of unexpected twists and turns. Dr. Beth Stroupe shared her career path and her recent breakthrough in the lab that was decades in the making. She's been working to identify the structure of an enzyme called sulfite reductase that has broad biological importance, from amino acid metabolism to a potential target for drug discovery. Learn more about Beth's research, her experiences in science, and her life in this new podcast episode!

THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS is out NEXT month!

We’ve been busy organising a book tour that will include talks & signings across the UK, USA, Canada, & Europe. The first will be at the wonderful Oxford University Museum of Natural History on Friday, 10 October 2025. I hope you can join us at one of these events – more details soon.

"Vertical hollow open-topped pipes used as property markers, fence posts or irrigation standpipes are killing countless birds and wildlife across the United States and around the world."

In Future can a Tiny Black Hole be placed at the center of a Spherical Spaceship so that it produces the same gravitational effect as that of Earth on the ship, allowing astronauts to feel at home? That ship runs on a N-Fusion & Anti-Matter Hybrid Engine. Now, the problem is how to create a tiny black hole & how to stabilize it inside that ship.
