The Small Jelly Creatures That Link Up And Swim in Corkscrews For the first time, scientists have recorded how salps form chains and swim in corkscrews to reach the ocean’s surface each night.

Imagine a long pearl necklace moving through the ocean in a spiral or corkscrew shape.

That is how salps, a small, transparent, barrel-shaped jelly creature, moves each night from the ocean's depths to the surface to feast on algae.

A red blue and orange space nebula that looks a bit like a bird with spread wings

Time for some of that sweet driveway electromagnetic space radiation that happened to interact with electrons inside my camera sensor after a journey of 5,700 years or so.

This stunning image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) reveals the intricate details of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097. The galaxy's bright core, surrounded by a prominent ring of dust and gas, is a hub of intense star formation. The image also showcases the galaxy's sweeping spiral arms, dotted with young, hot stars and dark dust lanes. The NIRCam's sensitivity allows us to observe the galaxy's structure in unprecedented detail, providing valuable insights into its formation and evolution.

Nebula RCW 58 is 112 times the mass of our sun, 1M times more luminous, & 30 times the surface temp.

A pair of gloved hands holds two white rats with red eyes. Quote this: “We can transfer young blood into old mice, and their memory function becomes better and more like a young animal.” —Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray

Researchers have found that some aspects of young blood can improve the health of the old.

In today's episode, we discuss a research procedure that shares an eerie similarity with our favorite fictional bloodsuckers.

Do Fossil Prints Show Dinosaur Flight Evolved More Than Once? Some paleontologists argue the ancient footprints found in South Korea show flight may have evolved in multiple dinosaur lineages.

It's time for #SciFri 📻

We kick off with @byjasonpdinh.bsky.social, who joins us to talk about ancient dinosaur footprints found in South Korea and other stories from the week in science.

IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE There would be a parade, a celebration, a holiday to commemorate the day he sought enlightenment. We would not speak of temptation by the devil, rather, we would laud Adam's curiosity, his desire for adventure and knowing. We would feast on apple-inspired fare: tortes, chutneys, pancakes, pies. There would be plays and songs reenacting his courage. But it was Eve who grew bored, weary of her captivity in Eden. And a woman's desire for freedom is rarely a cause for celebration.

This is a great poem by Danielle Coffyn.

IF ADAM PICKED THE APPLE

Far Side cartoon. In the American old west, a gunslinger had just shot a man dead. The shooter peppers his victims with questions. “OK, stranger... What's the circumference of the Earth?.. Who wrote "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad?" What's the average rainfall of the Amazon Basin?” On onlooker shouts to the gunslinger, “Bart, you fool! You can't shoot first and ask questions later!”

Too late, Bart. Too late.

Genetically Engineering Stronger Poplar Tree Wood Researchers decreased the amount of lignin in poplar tree wood, making it stronger and slower to deteriorate.

Trees play a big role in the fight against climate change: They can soak up carbon dioxide from the air and store it for centuries in the form of biomass. But it turns out that trees could be doing even more.

In better news, I have just discovered that the word "scientist" was specifically coined to describe a woman, the 19th century Scottish polymath Mary Somerville, and I very much enjoy knowing this. www.some.ox.ac.uk/eminent/mary...

Is there a way to use this in Electrostatics? Without freaking out all the kids?

They’ve known for more decades than that.

“Global warming was officially discovered more than 100 years ago. The pioneering work of a Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896 is attributed with the discovery of the greenhouse effect…”
