Taylor McKie is a PhD student at @Scripps_Ocean who studies the physics of ocean water and how its movement drives climate and weather patterns. She explains her work in “The Math of Water,” the newest episode of the Wavelengths video series: bit.ly/487toMc@TinyBeaker
In an interview today a coral scientist was showing me his lab and said "and here we have a bunch of tiny beakers.. " and then he gave me this little grin :D and I almost guffawed into the mic
The warm winter weather we've been having is dangerous and disruptive for all kinds of organisms. It could have consequences for pollinators come spring too. #Climate
Some caterpillars have evolved with antifreeze in their body cavities, allowing them to become caterpopsicles to survive cold winters. But climate change could threaten that. trib.al/IUrYcQa
What are your favorite examples of mathematics or statistics in Hollywood, either in the film or behind the scenes? Your idea might be featured on the Carry the Two podcast!
Last month the Washington Post ended publication of its award-winning magazine and laid off its brilliant, irreplaceable staff.
Today, on their last day at their jobs, magazine employees & @PostGuild members are bringing the magazine archives to @librarycongress for posterity.
The gas stove hubbub might have you thinking a new study came out that shocked scientists and regulators into action.
The truth is that decades of research have been finding the same thing: gas stoves can be quite bad for your health.

Glass frogs have see-through skin, but that’s not enough to be totally invisible from predators. So when they sleep, they hide nearly all their red blood cells in their liver, @KatherineJWu reports.

Tomorrow I’ll be moderating a talk on the science of poop!
Come hear @LinaZeldovich and @SeattleBryn as they explore how poop can cure diseases, fight climate change and do much, much more. Join in person in NYC or online! journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/…
Before I was a science journalist for @NPR, I was a circus performer in Alaska. I'm talking leotards, face jewels, forearm muscles. The tricks look impossible, but physics is on your side.
Circus artist and #physics educator Julia Ruth shows us how on today's @NPRShortWave 🎪🧵
In Kochi, we sit at the fascinating interface of eastern and western Indian fishing traditions, cultures, and technologies. What an opportunity to learn about the evolution of fishing culture in coupled socio-environmental systems. #TechCampKochi2022@CPPRIndia@URIGSO
A 1 milliliter beaker is not frequent in chemistry labs, and despite the joke that says it's only used to collect the tears after failed experiments, it's most likely used for weighing purposes and shows how even a lab's equipment can be cute buff.ly/3AIQ0kj
