Physics isn't normally my bag (no animals) but this story in April's SciAm really floored me. Had me regularly saying "BRUH" out loud. www.scientificamerican.com/article/gala...

Just learned that @wired.com got nominated for four (!!) National Magazine Awards, including for our "How to Win a Fight" package, with a specific callout for this excellent piece by @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/the-wi... asme.memberclicks.net/national-mag...

RFK Jr.’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet March 18-19 to discuss “COVID19 vaccine injuries”. From what I’ve seen of this group, they will present poorly-controlled correlational data and anecdotes. And they won’t publish these data beforehand in order to avoid scrutiny.

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

NEW: The @wired.com Security desk put together a comprehensive guide to filming ICE—with tips for reducing risk at the forefront. No paywall, but please consider subscribing to help find these kinds of resources. And stay safe out there. www.wired.com/story/how-to... www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

I’m thrilled to be part of this fantastic project!!

A Florida weatherman goes on his own news station's program to tell his viewers that he can no longer predict their safety with accuracy, because of "this sledgehammer attack... the federal government cuts to the National Weather Service." Gives them numbers. Urges them to call their reps.

200+ scientists are in the middle of a marathon livestream to show why weather and climate science is so important and needs all our help to continue. It is here: wclivestream.com/watch
