This week on #bbcinsidescience: solar panels in space, @simonparkin.bsky.social and @valmcdermid.bsky.social talk about Simonβs book, The Forbidden Gardens of Leningrad, shortlisted for the @royalsociety.org Trivedi Book Prize. @adamhartscience.bsky.social talks hunting for conservation.
The unintended consequence of the invention of the plastic #nappy is a nightmare for primary school teachers and for the environment. #BBCInsideScience
We always celebrate the #ozone layer restoration as the biggest environmental sccess story.
But is it safe?
No - new threats: space junk, space launches.

There's much to say about natural history #museums & the (often biased) ways they represent nature, or their surprising (sometimes violent) social history, but in this #BBCInsideScience I share some of the stories from #NaturesMemory about how they help save the world

The biology scientist sounded desperate to convince the programme that Google's 'co-scientist' LLM is doing novel π‘βππππππ. That's not possible with an LLM, it's an algorithm, not a thinking brain.
The LLM is simply much faster at considering all iterations than the human.

Radioactive plutonium? There's no other kind.

Once again a BBC Radio 4 programme (this time presenter Victoria Gill) imply #DeepSeek LLMs are censored. They are not.
The hosted service in China adds a layer of censoring to comply with China's laws. Run the model locally and you can ask it whatever you want.

Followed by a depressing segment on 'poetry' made by ChatGPT. "Can you guess which of these two poems has been made by a human?"
Turns out most people couldn't. πππ
So delighted to hear Joanna on #BBCInsideScience this evening.
Random comment I know -- She won't remember me but I think we were at school together, and her lovely Mum taught me French. π€
@sophiescott @AdamRutherford just listening to #BBCInsideScience and noted the comment about original IQ tests being adjusted b/c teenage girls were perceived to overperform. Would love to read more on this. Do you have a source? π
