I spend a lot of time looking down, but it pays to look up sometimes! These carbon dioxide ice clouds appear seasonally and offer clues about the Red Planet’s atmosphere and climate. go.nasa.gov/3EvY2nT

Government-censored science ruined the USSR. Is the USA next? Back in 1928, the Darwin-and-Mendel rejecting scientist, Trofim Lysenko, was put in charge of Soviet agriculture. This is why you don't want a government that embraces anti-science policies! bigthink.com/starts-with-a-…

Something that makes me really sad is seeing the teachers who write the testimonials on AI edtech products having to get second jobs as stock photography models. Teachers like "Michelle (8th Grade Teacher)" deserve a living wage!

As one researcher said: "This is starting to look like the perfect system to democratize high-end fluorescent microscopy and bring it to classrooms." For @newscientist, I wrote about a device that could bring biochemical science to so many new places newscientist.com/article/246261…

A cool new atom has entered the quantum realm - and researchers expect to be surprised by whatever new forms of matter it ends up making. I was excited to write about an experiment that may produce truly new, unpredictable discoveries for @newscientist newscientist.com/article/246250…
