In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Some professional news: After six amazing years at @quantamagazine.bsky.social and @simonsfoundation.org, I am joining the staff of @vanityfair.com as Director of Audience and Digital Operations. I can’t wait to do cool things at a publication I’ve loved since I was a kid.

Every summer since 1983, workers at Crater Lake National Park have gathered data about the lake’s famous clarity. The biologist Scott Girdner has led much of this work. When he retires, a hiring freeze will leave his position unfilled indefinitely. www.quantamagazine.org/mixing-is-th...

i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

It's not fair that social media managers sometimes have to say "can you please post that thread on Threads?" at work.

A very knotty man

Climate science is the most significant scientific collaboration in history, and its lessons are a massive human achievement. “How We Came To Know Earth,” our new series, is a guide to the modern understanding of fundamental climate science. www.quantamagazine.org/series/clima...

I know things are… yeah… right now but Quanta is very close to publishing one of the coolest things we’ve ever made and I can’t wait for people to see it ✨

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. There's no better day to practice gently moving your mind away when you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or who it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with. Do this as many times as you need.

Gripe for Asana/Jira/Sprout and the like: It used to be that the user just went to a website and the website did the thing. I don't understand why we now have to go to a landing page and then click "Go to app," as if the webpage is itself an app. It's a website for a SaaS product!

I'm so excited for you all to hear from the excellent people on our staff. And once again, hats off to @kristina-armitage.bsky.social for a gobsmackingly gorgeous image.

We saw you from across the bar and, there's blood. There's blood in you, right

Math is a profoundly human process — one as engaged in beauty and elegance as it is in proving a theorem or finding an answer. The looming power of AI has the humans of math rethinking what it means to be a mathematician. See our latest special issue. www.quantamagazine.org/mathematical...

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

Science journalists think that we are each other's competition when in fact this is our competition: www.instagram.com/reel/DIctbYi...

I just hit play on this classic album and hearing that sax blast while I’m doing my little spreadsheet made both of my eyes dilate immediately

I really love AMAs and am stoked that @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social and John are doing this!

This moment in a nutshell.

I wrote to one of the best government climate scientists I know, and jokingly asked if he's been fired. The fact that our best scientists, even if they haven't been fired, cannot focus on work due to mental strain, hurts us all.

One of my favorite parts of Quanta's new AI series is @markabelan.bsky.social and @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social's visual explainer on how AI makes heads or tails of the internet's cats: www.quantamagazine.org/how-can-ai-i...

Last year, we published a Quanta story about orbital math and it had an illustration that was inspired by these guys.

Ain’t no science party like a @pioneerwork.bsky.social science party

the things I used to tweet omg

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

On my way to work. good morning.

In honor of International Crow & Raven Appreciation Day, I’ll share a story from my park ranger days. I was stationed at the North Cascades National Park visitor center in Newhalem, WA. My mom let me borrow her car for the summer. /1

Yeah I got a substack! I got ya sub stack right here! Boom!

About to see Revenge of the Sith in theaters for the first time in twenty years! Escapism is spending your Saturday evening watching a story about how misinformation leads to the fall of a republic and the rise of an authoritarian regime.

Last year, @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social wrote a story about how a bunch of people on a Discord server solved a huge, important computer science problem. We just published a video about the story and now a bunch of new people are joining that Discord server in excitement 🥹 (sorry mods, lol)

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Do you think the people who track search traffic for Good Morning America know that all those "gma" searches are just lazy people hitting enter too early while trying to navigate to Gmail? I bet they just think that a ton of people are honestly searching "gma" as an acronym for Good Morning America

#todayilearned that any sequence of numbers categorized in the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences can be exported as a MIDI file. Here's the audio for part of the Fibonacci sequence played on a grand piano. It's... not as nice as you would hope for it to be.
