From May 18–20, scientists across Zürich will step out of their labs and into local venues to talk about AI, biodiversity, psychology, music therapy, environmental change, and more, all in a relaxed and accessible setting. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

What makes Pint of Science special is not just the research, but the conversations that happen around it. You can hear directly from the people behind the science, ask questions, and discover topics you might never normally encounter. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

Pint of Science starts next week in Zurich. If you’ve ever been curious about science but felt conferences and lectures were not for you, this event is exactly the opposite. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

Pint of Science is back with talks on AI, primate research, robotics, and more! Curious? Scan the QR code and come experience it for yourself 🍻🔬 #PintOfScience #ZurichEvents #ScienceForAll #Zurich

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right. If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone. Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up. @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social‬

Join the 22,339 people who have joined to support our NIH colleagues. Let's get this to 50,000 RT

The brutal arrest of a Senator asking a question at a press conference, the threat of Marines being unleashed on the public, and the attack on science are all symptoms of the same illness. When we are punished for asking questions and striving for better, we are no longer free. #Standupforscience

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Trump's response to immigration protests in Los Angeles will further escalate a situation his administration created.

Swiss researchers at Empa have developed a living, biodegradable material from the mycelium of the split-gill mushroom. This tear-resistant, transparent film is not only sustainable but also edible and responsive to moisture. www.empa.ch/web/s604/liv... #fungi #science #swiss #materials #innovation

To do this, the fungal cells are mixed into the printing ink. Thanks to their laboratory's extensive experience in 3D printing

have coaxed another ability out of fungi: generating electricity. As part of a three-year research project, scientists from Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (more specifically Empa's Cellulose and Wood Materials laboratory) have developed a functioning fungal battery.

Fungi, more closely related to animals than to plants, encompass an enormous variety. Everything can be found here: from edible mushrooms to molds, from single-celled life to the largest organism on Earth, from disease-causing pathogens to superheroes that produce medicines. Now, Empa researchers
