All this, whilst she remains entirely silent on the real war on science both ideological (insert classic outraged "are we really financing THAT" popular article here) and practical (let's get rid of these unproductive funds/positions)

Did we just find a biosignature and evidence that life once flourished on the red planet?

I've been trawling through some old science comedy sets.
Here's why physics is just like sex...

It's an important continuation of the trend that "all experts are shills and must not be trusted, only populists can be trusted"
Even domains that seem far from public policy are attacked. Because if their experts can be trusted, then maybe there are other experts elsewhere, too.
There are no personal attacks here
15.09.2025 06:45 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Today LHCb presented a new measurement of the decay of a B meson into a K* and a ฮผ+ ฮผ- pair
Previous results disagreed with the Standard Model prediction for the branching fraction and angular distribution
The new measurement has almost twice as much data and still disagrees!

Have you ever wondered why physicists are so excited to study the Higgs Boson at a new Higgs Factory collider?
Wonder no more!
I explain what a Higgs factory is, why we need one, and the amazing measurements the machine will make.
Check it out!

I have a complaint about Avi Loeb's latest work and I want to speak to management.

Was a pleasure, Steve! Thanks for taking the time!
05.08.2025 18:41 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Had the pleasure of chatting with Prof Steve Desch (@deschscoveries.bsky.social) regarding Avi Loeb's latest claims that an interstellar object might be a hostile alien probe.
Spoiler alert: It isn't.
We break down Loeb's weak, cherry picking arguments.

Carbon-14 may be the most important radioisotope ever discovered.
It has revolutionised our understanding of the past, helped demystify bio pathways and confirmed anthropogenic climate change.
Come learn about its incredibly fraught discovery!

Eric's ideas only exist in the worlds of YouTube grievance, culture war nonsense, and the negative space left by the perceived failings of string theory.
tl;dr Eric lost badly.

This month's bonus episode is about the rise of the lab leak theory from an unfounded theory promoted by right-wing cranks to an unfounded theory promoted by prominent liberal journalists.
30.05.2025 16:14 โ ๐ 416 ๐ 73 ๐ฌ 25 ๐ 45The legacy of the promotion of the ragbag of unevidenced and often mutually exclusive lab leak theories by a motley crew of lunatics, conspiracists and MAGA proto-Fascists is that that this will all happen again - the same way it did in 2019.

Breaking: The muon discrepancy seems to be officially gone. The Muon gโ2 experiment at @fermilab.bsky.social
has just announced its final magnetic moment of the muon, improving precision by 1.8x. This is now in agreement with updated calculations published last week by the Theory Initiative ...๐งต
Yeah, it's nonsense
