If humans want to live on Mars, we’d first have to terraform the Red Planet — essentially transforming it into a place that could support life. Scientists have proposed several ways this could work bu... TikTok video by Science News

Thrilled to say that my latest TikTok for Science News magazine is here! Ever wonder how exactly we'd go about living on Mars? Well, researchers have a few ideas on how to make the Red Planet habitable.

Thank you, @beebrookshire.bsky.social, for all of your support!

I am incredibly proud of our negotiation committee for advocating with such determination on our behalf. This victory has been 625 days in the making! I’m pleased that both the Society and the Guild could reach an agreement that includes such important protections for our members!

All I want for Christmas is a fair contract but the @society4science.bsky.social is dragging their feet and now says they won't give us a proposal until next year. Our CEO gets huge raises far in excess of many guild members' salaries. Meanwhile, many of us are struggling to make ends meet.

Facts! ✊🏼

“Copyright growing pains” is one hell of a euphemism for the biggest IP theft in history

It's time to face the music. 538 days is far too long to wait for a fair contract, @society4science.bsky.social / @mayaajmera.bsky.social. #faircontractnow

@society4science.bsky.social CEO @mayaajmera.bsky.social is speaking at #concordia25 about "collaboration" and "well-being" in the future workplace. Meanwhile, @sn-media-guild.bsky.social workers have spent 516 days at the bargaining table with little to show for it. Yikes. 😬

500+10+3. 5.13*10^2. 513/1. DXIII.
Yup, still way too long.

500+ days is WAY too long to be waiting on a fair contract. Workers continue to lose money. Be sure to sign SNMG's petition!

500 days and still no deal? Our workers deserve better for the incredible work they do! Please take a moment to sign and share our petition for a fair contract.

Cranking up the volume. Hoping all parties can orchestrate a fair agreement soon.

Text on the image reads: "It has been 420 days since the workers of Science News Media Group started negotiating. We still do not have a contract. That's 10 days longer than it took to build the Empire State Building.' A line drawing of the Empire State building is on the left side of the image. On the right side is the Science News Media Guild logo: a blue fist grasping a pencil, next to the text 'SN GUILD'

420 Days.

Proud to stand with my union, @sn-media-guild.bsky.social. After 420 days of bargaining, we’re still fighting for a #faircontract. In an era of growing mistrust in science, our work matters. Support our efforts by signing the petition below! ✍️📷✊

#FairContractNow #UnionStrong #science

What do journalism and life expenses have in common? You can't put them on pause. No one at @sn-media-guild.bsky.social wants to drag this out. We just want a fair contract.

After 404 days of use, the current OS is definitely buggy. Clear the caches and install a fair contract for
@sn-media-guild.bsky.social. #faircontractnow #unionstrong #standwithworkers

It’s disheartening that @sn-media-guild.bsky.social has been negotiating for over a year without a fair contract, especially as living costs continue to rise. Staff shouldn’t struggle while top executives at @society4science.bsky.social continue to receive exorbitant raises.

Fusing machines with plants and fungi isn’t just sci-fi. A new generation of biohybrid robots could someday help in agriculture or energy production. These biohybrid life-forms are giving machines new... TikTok video by sciencenewsofficial

It's official! I recorded my first TikTok for

We’re rallying on Thursday, April 10th to raise awareness about our fight for a fair contract! We’ve been negotiating with @society4science.bsky.social for nearly a year and we’re not happy with the progress made. A fair contract shouldn’t be rocket science. Please spread the word!

Dinosaurs are still alive. Today, we call them birds Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.

🚨 It's finally here! 🚨 I’m excited to share my latest for @snexplores.bsky.social.

1.5 years in the making, this feature dives into the discoveries that helped show why birds are our last remaining dinosaurs. Twiggy the Barred Owl & I are sure you'll learn a thing or two about birds! 🦉

Robots are gaining new capabilities thanks to plants and fungi Biohybrid robots made with plant and fungal tissue are more sensitive to their surroundings.

Steel, wires and sensors may all come to mind when you think of robots. But living tissue can also help machines interact with their environment. Learn more about how plants and fungi are giving robotics an extra boost in my latest for @sciencenews.bsky.social!

This is such a cool idea!

To clear loops, Sonic the Hedgehog must hit the right speed Most animals don’t run through loops. Sonic would need the physics behind roller coasters and race cars to clear one.

I even wrote an article about the physics of Sonic's speedy ways. You can find it here!

Unpopular opinion: A Sonic racing game should have racers that run. In the words of the Blue Blur: isn't that his whole gimmick?

Beyonce sits in a chair wearing a sleeveless, brown dress. She looks surprised. White text reads "We got Cowboy Carter Tour tickets before we got a fair contract."

Move over Iron Man, exoskeletons are getting real Real-world wearable devices help people stay safe at work and accomplish everyday tasks.

Iron Man’s iconic Mark series powersuits are perfect for fighting crime in movies. But a real-life version of this armor could seriously injure anyone looking to use it. My latest for @snexplores.bsky.social!
