This is Aly. She just learned about capitalism. Certainly not a perfect system, but if that is what it takes to put chippies on the table, she understands. 13/10 (IG: alythebichon)
Someone let the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands know that their long ordeal is coming to an end.

Having a toddler means getting to learn unexpected things. Today's discovery: dinosaurs and bees coexisted! 🦖🐝
Heather has it right.
Yikes.

This is Canada's first official look at the country's most ambitious radio observatory to date, now under construction in Penticton, BC.
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Congratulations to Professor Michele Dougherty on her appointment as the UK's Astronomer Royal – the first woman to hold the position in its 350-year history! 🔭✨

Happy 🎂day!
At first glance this is very, very good news for NASA and other agencies. I think that many missions zeroed out by the White House decree are reversed here. Still a long way to go but this is an excellent sign. I'm sure many others will chime in on this.
Fingers crossed. Keep telling your members of Congress this is important.
This is an absurd step backwards. NASA stands among the USA's greatest achievements, and to see its science program dismantled so deliberately is heartbreaking.
I don't know what I'd do without em!
The world is in for a treat with the Rubin Observatory, mark my words. This feels like one of those things where we won't truly grasp just how big a deal this thing is until after the fact. A decade from now we'll be swimming in new info about the universe that we can't even predict yet.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm
The 2025 @swc-can.bsky.social Science Writers and Communicators of Canada conference is getting started! I'm excited to be at UNB with @perimeterinstitute.ca this morning to connect with writers and science comms experts from across the country.
Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024
The NASA planetary science fleet chart. It shows two spirals with missions to Moon/Mars and the Solar System. I’ve crossed off all of the missions that will be cancelled in the president’s budget… and there are a lot of them.
The NASA planetary science fleet chart if the president’s budget is enacted.
Hank nailed this one.
Alien algae was not on my bingo card for today, but I'll take it. 🦠 www.cbc.ca/news/science...
Writing this (and filming the reel) was a blast. Learning quantum mechanics is always more fun with liquid nitrogen!
Oh. My. Wow. This image here, THIS STUNNING PHOTO, was taken by Blue Ghost on the Moon. Because while we saw a lunar eclipse on Earth, the Moon saw a solar eclipse at the same time. That's us, Earth, eclipsing the Sun. And it just gives me goosebumps to see like this!!
You get a moon! You get a moon! Everybody gets a moon!
So sorry! 😔
