Alom Shaha's new book is a lovely gentle canter through school science for those who may feel it’s all a bit rusty, but would still like to be able to answer the questions their kids ask.

And I learned something… that there’s a mnemonic for the components of the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) that I had never previously come across:

“Rabbits Mate In Very Unusual X-rated Gardens”.

These just showed up back to back in my feed, not sure to think.

@natematias Semmelweis's research on antiseptic procedures is a pretty dramatic story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis?wprov=sfla1

Can you name a scientist famous for a commitment to the truth, who stuck to the evidence in the face of severe opposition (living or historical)? Reply with a link to their story and I'll RT.

My favorite example is Dr. Mary Amdur, who pioneered air pollution toxicology despite intimidation from chemicals companies.

Katherine Johnson passed away in 2020, at the age of 101. Editorial cartoonist Steve Breen’s lovely tribute perfectly captured Johnson’s contributions to the US space program.

And their Mars mission cost $74 million bucks. Not a typo!

And look at the scientists in their mission control room. Just look at it!

We can have space without space billionaires.

Putting all our eggs in the Elon basket is a choice, and not a good one.

1. I love the word “artificer”
