GHARIAL- Queen of hearts. Critically endangered. Like many crocodilians, they exhibit maternal care of offspring, and sometimes males get involved too. #herps #sciart #crocodile #gharial #scicomm [12/55]

Today marks one week since the largest paid newspaper in Puerto Rico closed down their print edition of 56 years. Physical media isn't dead, and as scientists we need to talk about it.

i can see you.
68,993 spikes in my eyes and my descending neurons decide you're nothing worth running from.
When we eat, our oral bacteria help in making the food lip #smacking delicious. Bacterial enzymes breakdown, modify molecules in food helping them stick to our taste receptors. Some popular flavors being umami (from glutamic acids) and buttery (from short chain fatty acids). #scicomm #inktober2026
One of the silver linings of this crash, from what I learned during my research, is that some PhDs in physics decided to pivot into science education, which lead to an explosion in great #scicomm in the 1980s.
Scientists discovered that immune cells (tiny defenders in your body) get directions on where to go by following the movement of surrounding tissue, kind of like how you might follow a crowd of people walking through a hallway at school

I have argued for years that wicked scientific breakthroughs like optogenetics need good-faith public debate and engagement. The usual pushback: given how far we are from applications, this would just stoke public fear. Well, here we are …
Here’s the full interview with @fromthelabbench.bsky.social from last week. It was a blast to talk to her about her work in #scicomm and about challenges facing research and science. See it on our YouTube channel and subscribe!
Astronomers in Canada and the USA modeled more than 14,000 stars to determine how the Milky Way got its carbon.

Some great people to follow! #SciComm
Including bizarre ass imagery from @stealingfromwizards.com Y'ALL ARE A MENACE TOGETHER I love this

An essay's claim: we've spent decades studying the wrong noun. The clearer questions were about awareness all along.
Let's kick this week off with another fact sheet. Today it is the aquarium standard that, for some reason, don't appear to like my fish tank. The neon tetra.

📢 Research only matters if it reaches people. That's why coordinated stakeholder engagement will take place throughout the project. All #REALISE updates will be shared via the project's social media channels and the upcoming website maintained by partners @pensoft.net
