Certainly the USA investment in science is significant. However, it seems there is something wrong with the chart. Germany and France spendings are far greater than the chart shows.

Nothing to worry about. Spock would agree with “data”, in singular. 🤓

A French university program has seen a surge in applications from scientists studying in the US

A Safe Place for Science 🧪

Aix-Marseille University offers a program for scientists "threatened in their research" in America.

An opportunity to attract talent as Trump cuts funding.

The dna double helix diagram from the original Nature paper.

OTD in 1953, J Watson and F Crick published a paper describing the double helical structure of DNA in the journal Nature.

M Wilkins and co-authors, and R Franklin and R Gosling, published separate papers in the same issue with X-ray crystallography analysis.

Enough internet. Time to cheer myself up by writing about how dark energy will eventually destroy the universe.

Especially because the USA is not safe for foreigners, they could end up in El Salvador.

Give him hell 😜

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Whenever I post about climate, skeptical folks inevitable respond with this graph. So I decided to do something radical: actually read the underling scientific paper and ask the authors.

As it turns out, it actually says the opposite of what skeptics claim: www.theclimatebrink....

The Tentacled Microbes That Might Have Sparked Complex Life New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie with Asgard archaea, a group of ancient single-celled microbes that share surp...

Line graph time series showing the latest mean sea level as of 27 January 2025 using data from 1993. There is a long-term increasing trend and a quadratic fit line is shown on the graph with an acceleration of 0.11 mm/yr^2. The current rate of increase is +4.1 mm/yr in the 2013-2024 period.

Another global sea level update with satellite altimetry data now processed by CNES/AVISO through late January 2025. It's accelerating. 🌊

AI reveals new insights into the flow of Antarctic ice Stanford researchers have combined machine learning with high-resolution satellite and airplane observations to understand the physics behind large-scale ice movements in Antarctica. The results show ...

#ClimateChange is melting Antarctica, but at what rate? Stanford scholars used #AI and machine learning to reveal that current models predicting the ice sheet's shrinkage and movement are missing key data.

I humbly offer for your consideration the foundational, and therefore most important, paper in the history of my scientific field. I specifically wish to draw your attention to the fact that

it is FOUR PARAGRAPHS long
