This is also one of my favourite owl photographs I've made. These two Barred Owl (Strix varia) owlets were sitting together on this branch and were nice enough to still be there when I returned with a longer lens!

Did somebody say touchdown?
NEAR Shoemaker became the 1st ever spacecraft to touch down on an asteroid #OTD in 2001. Although the probe wasn't expected to survive the landing, it surprised scientists by continuing to transmit data for ~2 weeks on Eros! go.nasa.gov/3JN2Vd0

Before that guy, there was no wind chill.
It was -20 and storming, but it felt like -20.
But then that smart alec had to get involved.

The write.as interface was as easy to use as promised. Nothing standing in the way of braindumping all my thoughts.
I wonder, though... this originally started as a masto thread, but I got annoyed at having to watch the character counts. Will using write.as for informal longer form text mean using Mastodon less?
Guess the only way to find out is to keep experimenting!
The first alpha version of the upcoming Nested Timelines feature is ready for testing! Give it a spin and let us know how it goes. Thanks to all who donated to make this happen! 💙

The 100 figures found in Tschermak's "Die mikroskopische Beschaffenheit der Meteoriten" (1885) can now be viewed in this Flickr Album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjArNXs
Taken together with Hahn's 1880 work (Flickr Album: flic.kr/s/aHsmEhsyLb) containing 142 photographs, these 242 thin section images of various rare meteorites taken in the 19th century are priceless.

Henrietta Lacks was a poor, Black, young mother diagnosed cervical cancer in 1951. When her cells were collected w/o consent, scientists saw they multiplied fast.
“HeLa” cells changed #science. They’re used globally to study viruses, drugs, hormones, genes, diseases & develop vaccines. Lacks passed away at 31 w no recognition.
Rebecca Skloot’s beautiful book about her life & legacy is changing that. Now her statue will replace Robert E. Lee in VA. nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/henr… #history #HistoryRemix
Update: The family of Henrietta Lacks has reached a settlement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, a #science & technology company that used & profited from cells taken without her consent in the 1950s.
The announcement came yesterday on what would have been Henrietta Lack’s 103th birthday. npr.org/2023/08/01/1191283359/… /2

"Predatory publisher" is a vague term. I break it down into "vampire presses", "rent-seekers", and "scams."
More nuanced terminology should help advance conversations about controversial publishing groups.
Not only that, I ~tell all~ about a summer job I had selling kitchen knives 🔪 Trust me: they're related 😅
Also I did a poll 📝
A year later: what is a predatory publisher anyways?

Fission is in the news, but few recognize that a woman physicist was behind the discovery.
Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry w/o her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.
Albert Einstein called Meitner “our Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. aps.org/publications/apsnews/2… #women #history #science #HistoryRemix
