Why should #AcademicTwitter care about the #SCOTUS hearing today on #LGBTQ workplace discrimination? Absence of anti-discrimination laws measurably affects the stigma experienced by LGBTQ researchers & few top research institutions are located in states w/such laws: #RiseUpOct8

This might be the first-ever recording of an octopus changing colors while it's dreaming. 😱🦑 Professor David Scheel recorded the mollusk as it lay in a research tank. Need more evidence octopuses are just aliens living on Earth? Here ya go: trib.al/fjE8ugl

awesome simulation from #NASA shows a black hole. The orange disk around it is made from v hot matter orbiting the black hole. It’s actually flat, but the black hole’s pull literally warps spacetime, which is why it appears to bend at top & bottom
