With all this talk of going to the Moon and Mars, it’s probably a good time to point out that we are definitely not ready to have babies in space. Like, at all. www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org #ScienceAdviser 🧪

If you’ve ever cared for a cat, then you know our feline friends can be as baffling as they are adorable. Turns out these crafty kitties can even play tricks on scientists, making it look like they’re vegan. www.science.org/content/arti... #ScienceAdviser @science.org 🧪

I've never broken a bone (*knocks on wood*), but I hear it's excruciating. Perhaps its some comfort that the neurons responsible for that pain also help the bone heal? That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 🦴

Closeup views of both faces of five ancient arrowheads that were laced with alkaloid toxins. Center inset: all ten examined. Isaksson et al./Science Advances (2025)
These 60,000-year-old arrowheads weren't just sharp—they were laced with poison, which "shows advanced planning, strategy and causal reasoning," as one expert put it. That and more of the best in @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
