Same Same. Me from the Earth realm and me from the @scisuperheroes.bsky.social realm both hate pineapple and never worry about fitting in.

#nationalscienceweek has been good fun, with more to come today. Science💪

This week's #SAComicsSunday is a science themed educational comic: SuperScientists Dig In! by Justin Yarrow (story) and Clyde Beech (co-writing and art). It's part of the broader SuperScientists initiative, which aims to get young people excited about real-life African scientists. 1/9 #SAComics

A broad group of National Institutes of Health (NIH) public servants have taken action with the "Bethesda Declaration" that targets the NIH and HHS Leadership. Join these courageous and committed professionals by adding your name now. actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na...

🦹 Meet Africa's SuperScientists! 🦸 Check out the the latest interview in our w/k series on Visual Science Storytelling with the (Super)creators of @scisuperheroes.bsky.social!!! between-science-and-art.com/superscienti...

If only there was something like this but for scientists and science champions 🤔

JUST IN: For the past week, SA researchers have been on red alert out of fear that the Trump administration may end their grants. Now it’s happened. Find out more via @miamalan.bsky.social. bhekisisa.org/health-news-...

NIH spending more than pays for itself. It generates about $2.5 for every $1 spent. In terms of research productivity, NIH funding dwarfs the rest of the world. The only long-term potential rival is China. Politicizing the NIH's scientific processes will hand China a huge strategic advantage.

I was talking to a post-doc who works with me about this. She said "I did my PhD during a pandemic, now I am starting a post-doc and science is being defunded, maybe it's a sign I need to do something else with my life" She is a brilliant scientist, science needs her! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Get ready to #standupforscience in 2.5 weeks!

This weekend's project is brought to you by... A Norovirus Quarantine! Leftover mural paint! aaannnddd Generalized Anxiety! Introducinggg.. The Little Free Science Library! It will be filled with science zines, made by me and the people who sent me their zines to print! And seeds in spring.

There will be nothing left of biomedical research in the US when Trump is done. Just think about that and anytime you or someone you love has been sick or dying. www.science.org/content/arti...

Stand Up for Science rallies will be held in DC and state capitals on March 7th. Share with friends. Sign-up here to get email updates with details: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

More women in STEM go.bsky.app/FGXUnLS

Some starter packs to help you get going supporting women in science. go.bsky.app/9jYkUK1

Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.

250 of these will be going up in schools across the Western Cape as part of the Cape Town Science Centre's science clubs. Feautring science champions and scientists from the WC doing fantastic work. #scienceisforeveryone

Our animation series writers room is in full swing. Great fun working with these talented and accomplished South African writers. Just too many laughs to fit in.

All MMWRs since 1993* have been archived. Thank you to our data archivists!! You can find them here: archive.org/details/cdc-...

Recognised by kids on the street for being a SuperScientist. Thats the kind of celebrity we want!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! ✨ They’ll never be able to take away the impact and contributions of Black scientists, no matter how hard they try. So each week this month, I’ll be highlighting a few #BlackInNeuro scientists for you to learn about, celebrate their work, & follow 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

More on teaching the social processes of science.

Scientists -- I'm looking to talk to researchers about how all this uncertainty around paused grant reviews and a potentially massive freeze on federal funding is affecting you and your research plans. DM, email or reach out on signal.

Certified fresh: the Earth Science Women starter pack with almost 70 global women geoscientists for you to follow! Please help me out and submit more names, especially LBTQ+ women and women of color. Also any feeds that should be included. Rock on, sisters! go.bsky.app/BLDWXKt 🧪⚒️

Follow our bsky account ^ ^!!

For all the new bskyers, us too!

Hi new followers 👋 we must be on a new starter pack 🤷. Check out some of the 60+ SuperScientists and science champions we've made. Some cool new ones dropping soon! www.superscientists.org

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

Met a boy yesterday at our animation watch party who reads our comic "ten times a week!"😁 Get your free copy at www.payhip.com/SuperScientists

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Dr Wangari Maathai such an amazing human.

Are you a scientist who would like your research to have a policy impact? Are you curious about how science is integrated into the policymaking process? Then join the #Science4Policy feed to learn more 👇! bsky.app/profile/did:... #Science #SciComm #SciPol

Razor wire is no match for this little chameleon. So cool to see one!

First post on Bluesky, let’s share some websites offering many free illustrations for scientific figures 🖼️ 🧪 🌍 : scidraw.io bioart.niaid.nih.gov www.phylopic.org More well known but very nice though: www.freepik.com

More so now that ever being neutral about vocally supporting #science 🧪 is not at option we can afford. "Scientists need to recognize that bold presentation, dissemination, and support of scientific knowledge has become both a basic commitment and a political act." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

BLACK WOMEN IN #STEM i made a starter pack for black women in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and would really love to keep adding to it so please hmu if you fit the criteria or know someone who does! 🧪 go.bsky.app/9jYkUK1

Wildlife vet Dr Lufuno Netshitavhadulu at @sanparks Kruger National Park is part of a critical team that manages a park the size of a small country. #biodiversity #wildlifeconservation #wildlifevet

So here is a starter pack of African scientists and researchers across disciplines. It will continue to grow as I find more people and more migrate to this platform but gotta start somewhere 😊. go.bsky.app/GixA4xP

Some recent SuperScientists! Dr Desiré Whitmore #attosecond laser physicist and @exploratorium.bsky.social educator

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

The execution on the cake was ish but the idea of it 👌. A small thanks to the Hidden Hand Studio for all the extra love and time they poured into our animation

It's time to apply for a Knight Science Journalism Program fellowship at MIT! We have 10 openings for a 2025-26 academic year fellowship and one opening for a one semester fellowship for journalists from Africa and the Middle East. Learn more here. ksj.mit.edu/news/2024/11...

Bring it! I miss science Twitter

Give them some colour! Free downloads of 14 different scientists including these awesome two (not yet on bksy) Drs Melinda Adams and Desiré Whitmore www.payhip.com/superscientists #colouringpages #coloringpages #stemeducation #scientists

We've just finished our #animation! On a trip to the #cradleofhumankind, Buhle falls into a cavern. Rescued by real scientists they turn into superheroes through Buhle's curiosity and crystal power. Adventure, hijinks and science ensues. Here's the trailer youtu.be/6ijcm0uifBQ?...

We keep not wanting to say science has never been more important yet... We're a #stemeducation org. reimagining scientists & science champions as the superheroes they are. We've reached tens of thousands of young people through our comic, posters & museum exhibit. Our animation short just wrapped!
