Ever since we lost Christine McVie I've been wanting to track down this song. I love it. It's cheerful. The video is humorous and has a million fine art references. Besides it ends with a green spotted horse!

Exoplanet ... or eggs-oplanet? 🥚
Some planets are so close to their stars that they're being pulled and stretched as the stars consume them. WASP-12b is one such doomed world. 🍳 go.nasa.gov/3IvnUjZ

in reply to NASA

does this mean WASP - 12b doesn’t spin on its own axis?

If it is spinning on its own axis, why hasn’t it been pulled equally on all sides?

Is anyone in the Philadelphia area looking to adopt 1-3 adorable boy kittens? We foster through Philly PAWS and we're starting to look for a forever home for the Pumpkin Spice Gang, shown here.

I really like rice porridge so I think I'd enjoy a blended soup thickened with rice, but I've not tried one before. Any thoughts/experiences on that Greek soup with rice, lemon, and egg?

This math equation proves there is life other than earth. Numbers don't lie.


How did NASA prepare for landing humans on the Moon in 1969? By sending the Surveyor landers to check out the surface and practice soft landings!

People are trying very hard to explore space.
And there are even some successes in this.



Interesting: "Science faculty conceptions of equity and their association to teaching practices". Faculty conceptualized equity in three ways—“equality,” “inclusion,” or “justice”. Professors with “equality” conceptions of equity tended to report teaching mostly via lecture, while those with “inclusion” conceptions reported using active learning and/or inclusive teaching practices.

Has science become less 'disruptive'?
Nature news claimed so earlier this week: nature.com/articles/d41586-022…
The claim is based on a bibliometric study that operationalizes disruptiveness in a particular way: nature.com/articles/s41586-022…

I wouldn't have noticed, but two journalists asked me about it. Some of my comments in a nutshell: 1/n



Here is the first episode of the #Linux and #opensource news podcast!

Compared to the videos, I go into more detail on each topic, and I also talk about more topics than what I can cover in the videos.

It's currently only on the website below, and there's an RSS feed to add it to your client of choice, I'll try and add it to other podcast directories in the future (but Spotify doesn't want it for now, spits out a random error, so it will have to wait).

How to slow down scientific progress

"Leo Szilard—the physicist who first conceived of the nuclear chain reaction and who urged the US to undertake the Manhattan Project—also wrote fiction. His book of short stories, The Voice of the Dolphins, contains a story “The Mark Gable Foundation,” dated 1948."

You can see the full thing at this link, but I've also taken a screenshot of an excerpt. 😬 🤔 😢

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.

And not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.

I find it comforting to remember that life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #nature #history #SharedPlanet

To be honest: I don't find that very comforting.

So far, we don't know a thing about evolution of consciousness. It may very well be, that the human species is the only one (in the universe?) "tool of the cosmos to understand itself". (Carl Sagan)

I don't agree that it doesn't matter whether "we're part of it or not".

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Yes, life will go on should we disappear. I cry for the innocent ones we are taking with us.


Today is the last day of 'Púca in the Machine' exhibiting at Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, Ireland. This art-research project and exhibition investigated the myth, ecology, technology and more-than-human relationships at the Poulaphuca Reservoir in Wicklow, Ireland.

Three artists collaborated on research and created works in response to the unique place.

2023 will see a second leg of the same project, collecting different perspectives from three new artists.

@athairbirb wow that is beautiful if sad. Such strange monuments to the equally strange philosophy that if you are poor, work must always come before reward; they will confuse archaeologists of the future endlessly.

#Zotero & Mastodon tricks:
1. Bc Mastodon is using standard HTML, Zotero is able to recognize any DOIs in your current timeline & import the related works into your Zotero library:
Right-click on the Save to Zotero icon in your browser and select "Save to Zotero (DOI)"
2. Did you know you can add individual Mastodon posts with metadata to Zotero when you're looking at a single post view, e.g. by clicking on the timestamp (the URL will look sth like fediscience.org/@adam42smith/1… )
