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.

Check out our new preprint to learn about 11 strategies that you can use to make reproducible research & open science training the norm at research institutions: https://osf.io/kcvra/.

Go beyond teaching dedicated courses and think creatively about things you can do as a researcher, instructor, supervisor, mentor, member of a curriculum or hiring & evaluation committee, research support staff or institutional leader.

We provide tips, examples and links to resources to help you get started.

@kathhayhoe @DrWendyRocks I've been trying to say this for years. But, of course, just like so many in the #mentalhealth community have been trying to tell (bad) psychiatrists for years and years now, decades, this has all fallen on deaf ears. Bayard Rustin once said the last great fight for #civilrights will be for #LGBT. I have to wonder if he was wrong; if instead the last great fight for #equalrights will be for those with a #MentalIllness.

Only on Assigned Media:

In Wyoming, six cisgender girls are attempting to sue their sorority to force out Artemis Langford, and trans girl who was admitted last October.

Statements of support for Langford have been all but nonexistent in the media. I spoke with sorority members outside of Wyoming who shared their concerns about the young woman's wellebing, and their hope that Langford knows she is supported.

'“Twitter is making it impossible to conduct the very research that alerted the world about the risks and pathologies of social media,” said Menczer.'
