There's a mental health crisis in science.

Studies that collectively surveyed tens of thousands of researchers worldwide suggest that scientists’ mental-health struggles are a direct result of a toxic research culture.

41% of respondents reported moderate to severe anxiety and 39% had moderate to severe depression.

Those levels are six times greater than in the general population.

As always, it's exacerbated for members of under-represented groups which when it comes to science is pretty much everyone who's not a white man from a high-income country: women, non-binary individuals, people of colour, those from sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) and students on low incomes...also senior researchers and scientists in different countries.

For 30+ years, Dr. Hanwant B. Singh studied atmospheric chemistry at @NASAAmes, revealing the origins of pollutants, how far they travel, and how they impact our health.

In the 1980s, he was a key member of the team that measured ozone-depleting chemicals. #AANHPIHeritageMonth

Researchers using #JWST were able to catch an enormous water plume from Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. The plume is more than 20 times the size of the moon. Enceladus orbits Saturn every 33 hours, spraying water and leaving behind a torus—or “donut”—of material in its wake. 

So movie aliens, if you’re considering invading Earth to steal our precious water, I would suggest taking a detour to Saturn 😉

just a single instance user here. What i wanted to say is that. in my humble opinion, unlike other people in the thread, i “do think” that a decentralized network indirectly, also help to achieve a better moderation, meaning a moderation that suits the end user. Different public squares will for sure have different opinions on what is acceptable,

If you have the big, central, unique, legacy, social network, there’s only a single point of view that matter and can change in time.
