Definitely a science joke! 😂 I guess hydrogen peroxide is only good in small amounts. 👍🏼

Science jokes are just as bad as dad jokes. What about this one?

Fixing a lamp? Many hands make light work. 💡

Quoting Marjorie Taylor Greene's comment in her bid to depose the current House Speaker: "We need to stop the government from being used for politics.”
Hello?? Can someone please M.T. the Greene bin?

You are blessed water falls from the sky. Harvest it; use it.

now settled in Adelaide, South Australia, originally born in Marin county California, and raised all over the world.

beautiful place, well chosen!

Pro life means taking care of the children.

Primates are beautiful, but really... tackling the world with four jawbones and a few thousand teeth? Too much back talk to handle, I fear.

(not < 50% but close? )
'Don't Look Up' is a brilliant film with a critics' Tomato rating of only 55%. Seriously underestimated...

😁

Yes, it allows survival for now even if not ideal for long-term adaptation.

well done! It sounds lovely.

Guardian news article cover image of flowering pansies.

A study of field pansies near Paris suggests flowers shift to self-pollination and decreased nectar production as insect pollinators become scarce. Millions of years of coevolution to build, but only decades to dismantle? Another call to keep diverse ecofriendly oases intact in our communities. 🧑🏻‍🔬🐝🧪

Raised eyebrows?

I'm not surprised, just twice as sceptical.
🤨x2 = 😳

Now that your month of intense focus is almost done, we're waiting in suspense to hear how your project is going... Time to come for another breath?

Thanks ; ) Our goal is supporting pollinators more than collecting honey. We welcome the opportunity to learn more about enabling success of native bees as well. Our focus on diversity in flowering plants and no pesticides over the past 7 yrs seems to be building a local eco-oasis. Room for all?

We've just joined the ranks of backyard beekeepers with our first hive, and have been surprised by the world of new questions this project has opened up. I'd be keen to join the bee feed. Thanks.

congratulations! It is truly a joy. My partner and I are rediscovering the process as happy grandparents.

It did feel empty when I joined recently. Posts seem to just be echos. The key for me was finding feeds of interest to follow. Under the settings icon on the home page, scroll to the bottom of Edit Feeds to search. Your profile descriptor keyword 'climate' pulled up more than a dozen. Go Mathildas!

A real concern, but perhaps not the fault of lenient lecturers? Universities reoriented to profit goals view students as "customers" and constrain the limits faculty can set. Student issues are ascribed to faculty "not sufficiently engaging" the clients. Fragility is built over years of education.

thank you Venti and Mark. Excellent resource!

Please add me to the What's Science group when you have the platform back up. Thanks!

Excellent; thank you! I first heard this story on National Public Radio, and have been surprised by little attention it has received from scientists and funding organisations. Good luck with your discussions.
