what a beautiful world we live in

the featured image is a composite image btw !!! so cool 🔭🧪☄️

Again, weird way to cover this. Every public company files an annual 10k with the SEC that includes a disclosure of known risk factors to investors, and common types of food-borne illness would be included for *any* food service company. Like they’d legally have to include them.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

This is a great initiative. I wish it had a higher budget, but we'll take what we can get. If you or someone you know is a woman interested in a career in #STEM or the trades, APPLY. #WomenInTrades #WomenInSTEM

also this isn't a taco bell problem, it's a taco bell has unusually good ability to trace their supply chains and strong relationships with local public health authorities so they're the first affected company to provide traceability problem

Horses don't need to hear or smell a threat in order to sense danger. Watching wolf behavior raises their heart rates, while wombat videos do not. Visual cues alone can trigger a predator response, especially in males, while older horses respond less fearfully! 🧪 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

At the moment, a lot of folks are doing wonderful work on pulse profile variability in millisecond pulsars. There's now a great paper out, led by Shania Nichols, focusing on better timing methods to account for profile changes in troublemakers like J1713+0747! 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2607.12038

coldest summer of the rest of our lives right right

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

Might as well do these pics as a thread -- maybe I'll post one per day as I process 'em -- anyway, here's the play of light and dark on in Glencoe, Scotland.

great to see this feature on GRB 260310A !! ft. comments from grad student + lead author, Collin Christy, + Profs. Kate Alexander + Tanmoy Laskar !! vvv cool result 🧪🔭☄️

this is real.... this just exists out there for you to see; borderline unbelievable

thinking about today's travel sustainability discussion at ESO... for in-person conferences with a given attendee list, you can directly estimate and optimize for location and it turns out for US-EU dominant you need to plan for poutine

Grilled portobello mushrooms are a fantastic meatless burger alternative to toss on your #July4 grill. Make them union mushrooms by looking for Monterey Mushrooms. Thank you "Elia" for this photo. #WeFeedYou

Words can’t express how happy we are with the event and with the venue everyone should get married now

Millie Bobby Brown thinks that she was a closeted gay soldier who was slain with a sword to the spine in a past life.

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here… On June 29, 2026, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory officially began the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)! 🔭🧪☄️🌌 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/action-...

u guys gotta listen to this wow www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7pi...

Great talk from @saavikford.bsky.social about Astrophysics and EMRIs. What will we do if LISA sees 10,000 EMRIs? #LISASynposium2026 @lisacommunity.bsky.social

new from me !!!!! We analyze late-time JWST/NIRCam imaging of the extremely-long GRB 250702B & discover a very massive, dusty, + bright host. We find blue emission at the transient location, but it's not obvious if this is just underlying galaxy or from the transient. 🧪🔭☄️👩‍🔬🦖 arXiv link in reply!

I participated in a press conference for the first time! Maybe in a few weeks I'll be brave enough to see what I sounded like in the recording. Check it out to learn about a new candidate huntsman binary millisecond pulsar we have discovered 🔭

The corresponding science talk on this source will be on Wednesday at 2pm for anyone at #AAS248!

i bet you could make a really cool black hole diorama with a sphere painted in this within a thick glass sphere (so as to distort the light) with a LED accretion disk

This drone was used to map honeybee foraging flight patterns in 3D, which suggests that these pollinators navigate with remarkable precision: each bee consistently follows its own unique route guided by visible landmarks! 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

bumble bees use tools !!! science is so cool 🧪

right ok so. the songs are very catchy and very easy to sing along to ('Stupid Song' ........ coming to compete with 'The Cure' for me tbh). That said, I do very much hope that miss Olivia Rodrigo spends some time as an individual, finds a good therapist, and hangs out with her friends more.

absolutely diabolical to me that Rutgers P&A does PhD thesis defense questions from the committee in front of the public audience and BEFORE the public gets to ask any questions

Another handful of sand in the gears: Researchers cannot serve on a panel *at all* if anyone from their institution has submitted to that panel. Recusing themselves for the proposal itself is no longer sufficient. This is needless, but will certainly slow things up even further.

Exciting: Artemis III Less exciting: The current budget proposal would cut NASA funding by 24% and NASA science by 46%. It would shut down a (free!) mission to an Earth-threatening asteroid, delay or cancel the search for alien life, and much more. 🧪 www.planetary.org/articles/82-...
