New episode!! 🎙️🎉

A conversation w/ @erinhecht.bsky.social about the diversity and evolution of canine brains.

We've lived and worked with dogs for 15,000+ years, sculpting their brains and bodies along the way. What can we learn from their singular story?

Super! One of the best episodes so far, IMHO.

Near-Earth Asteroids Spin Faster Than We Thought The fast spin of small near-Earth asteroids suggests scientists need to revise their ideas about what holds these rocky bodies together.

I wrote this article! 🙂

This is IMO one of the biggest discoveries of the year, but you haven’t heard about it bc of a NASA press release/embargo stuck bc of the shutdown. I however have no such constraint (we’re tracking it in radio but haven’t finished the paper) so got to write about it! 🔭🧪

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Nature is good for us. It can lift our spirits, reset our attention, even help us heal. But what is it—specifically—about nature that does this? Can we isolate the active ingredients?

Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, with Dr. Marc Berman!

Hurricane Melissa Literally Made the Earth Shake Hundreds of Miles Away Seismometers picked up the ferocious winds and waves of Hurricane Melissa, showing how the tools can be used to better understand storms today and those from the past

A fascinating new piece for @sciam.bsky.social by @squigglyvolcano.bsky.social about Hurricane Melissa being picked up by seismographs. Because the seismic record began long before the satellite era, we may be able to use older seismograms to learn more about past storms. 🧪

Mangrove restoration enhances blue carbon sequestration and its stability in a subtropical tidal wetland Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

Good morning. Today in "One day, one paper", mangrove restoration significantly increased the amount of all soil carbon fractions, particularly strongly stabilized carbon attached to fine minerals, which was increased by approximately 96–732% 🌎

July 26 is #MangrovesDay 🌱🌊🌏
Since 1970, global mangrove cover has shrunk by ~38%. These ecosystems store carbon, support unique biodiversity, and protect coasts. Restoration and conservation are vital.

New episode!! 🎙️🎙️

A conversation w/ @mjcrockett.bsky.social about AI and science!

We're in the midst of a major transformation, with AI reshaping the entire research pipeline. These changes may well boost scientific productivity. Will they also boost understanding?

Eccentric 'Star' Defies Easy Explanation, NASA's Chandra Finds - NASA Scientists have discovered a star behaving like no other seen before, giving fresh clues about the origin of a new class of mysterious objects.

Radio emissions from long-period radio transients change more slowly than normal radio variations, and we don’t really know what causes that. For the first time, observations of one transient show that it also varies in X-rays at the same time, ruling out some options but not solving the mystery 🔭🧪

Thank you one thousand times for also making it available for free. 80 USD is a *lot* of money in this corner of the planet.

Really wonderful podcast. This episode was my introduction to it but I've listened to a few now. Also noticed that @kathrynnave.bsky.social is on Bluesky!

Indeed. The information I was looking for is right there in the notes. Sorry about that.

New episode!! 🎙️

A conversation w/ Dr. Chris Letheby about the philosophy of psychedelics.

Psychedelics open up new questions—questions about the mind, belief, the self, moral enhancement, and the ethics of transformative experience. Philosophers have taken note.

One of the best episodes so far, in my extremely humble opinion. A suggestion (but I realize it would require some extra work): a listing of the books and articles mentioned in the episode.
