TIL: In 2004, BP (yes, the oil company) introduced the term "carbon footprint" through a major advertising campaign. They created the first personal carbon calculator to shift climate responsibility from corporations to individuals.

None of it is remotely true, but it's an amusing tale nonetheless, and with the current cold snap, it feels quite plausible!

I'll listen to NPR's Science Friday on a Tuesday because The MAN's rules don't apply to me.

I'm a rebel, Dottie!

The Origin Of The Word 'Robot' 'Robot' was the brainchild of the Czech playwright Karel Čapek, who introduced it in a 1920 play.

ScienceFriday has a cool story on the origin of the word. When I was in college, I had read The White Plague ("Die weiße Krankheit" in German) and a professor introduced the author Karel Čapek as the inventor of the word in 1937.

Complicated.

🧬 Facts & Science Friday

Updated COVID shots cut hospitalizations nearly 50% in older adults, RSV & flu shots protect the vulnerable, & myths about “long-term harms” don’t hold up.

✅ Public health should follow evidence, not politics.

Teamwork Between Species Is The Key To Life Itself “The Call of the Honeyguide” traces the mutualisms found throughout nature, from hunting pairs to the microbes all around us.

In a new podcast host speaks with ecologist Rob Dunn, whose new book, The Call of the Honeyguide, argues that mutualisms are the story of life itself.

Mind=BLOWN € : Scientists have now found all of the DNA and RNA bases in meteorites....... This means there's a possibility that life on Earth came from space!

Mind=BLOWN € : Scientists have now found all of the DNA and RNA bases in meteorites....... This means there's a possibility that life on Earth came from space!

 the first time, scientists have identified all five of the
nucleobases-adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil-that form the blueprint of life in meteorites. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, strengthens the idea that some of life's
fundamental building blocks may have arrived on Earth via space rocks.

Using a new, ultra-sensitive extraction technique developed by researchers in Japan and the U.S., the team analyzed fragments from four meteorites that fell in Australia, Kentucky, and British Columbia. Alongside these crucial genetic bases, they also found amino acids and nucleobase isomers, compounds not present in nearby soil samples-supporting their extraterrestrial origin.

These findings support the theory of panspermia — the idea that the ingredients for life might have been delivered to Earth by asteroids or comets billions of years ago.
It suggests that the basic chemistry of life is not unique to Earth and could occur elsewhere in the universe under the right conditions.

The claim is authentic: Studies in 2022 (Nature Communications) and 2025 (Nature Astronomy on Bennu samples) confirm all five
DNA/RNA nucleobases in
meteorites/asteroids, supporting extraterrestrial delivery of life's building blocks.
If true, existential outcomes include: stronger evidence for panspermia, implying life is common in the cosmos; reduced human isolation but heightened risks from alien biology;
philosophical shifts challenging Earth-centric origins, fostering global unity in astrobiology pursuits.

This is pretty amazing. Origin of man not Earth based. #ScienceFriday (i know its Sunday.)

Bogong moths use a stellar compass for long-distance navigation at night - Nature Every spring, Bogong moths use the starry night sky as a compass to navigate up to 1,000 km towards their alpine migratory goal.

The Bogong moth, in Australia, navigates using the stars. Previously thought to use magnetic resonance, a special non-magnetic building was created and star constellations displayed on the ceiling. The moths followed the direction to the Australian alps and back.

This is amazing. The cute axolotl has been determined to have regenerative cells that kills antibiotic-resistant MRSA and also can distinguish, target, and kill cancer cells from healthy cells without changing the molecule from the peptide.

In 2023 we featured a #ScienceFriday that highlighted Dr. Roffler’s research on how some 🐺 in AK are switching to marine species (🦦) and had incredible footage shared from photographer Landon Bazeley of a wolf carrying off a sea otter carcass in Katmai.🧵👇
