Unless you live next door to Doc Brown, the EMF levels in your home pose no danger to you. Also, this widget probably has a walnut and three dead ants inside.

Rumours that the disaster was orchestrated by elites with a laser have been seen by millions.
BasementDweller3000, My mom emails me so much fake news and conspiracy theory nonsense everyday that I made a mail rule to automatically move any of her email to a folder. I’ve asked her to stop but she doesn’t. 🙄
This rule has been running for a couple of years. I have hundreds if not thousands of these by now. I never open any of it but as you can see there’s a lot of wild stuff. This is just from this week. #fakenews #psuedoscience #skeptic
minouette, A little community #sciArt #scicomm - I made a version of my leadcutter bees print with two #linocut wild bees (Megachile relativa and Megachile brevis) and leaf prints for the Coxwell Pollinator Gardens! These prints are both about, and a sort of collaboration with leafcutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important pollinators,

TheConversationUS, Stay safe out there in the heat☀️
Here’s a quick read (or video to watch) on how heat stresses the body, particularly the cardiovascular system – and why infants, athletes and older adults are especially susceptible, created in collaboration with SciLine, a nonprofit #SciComm organization

Four members of a Bradenton, Fla., family face years in prison for selling a toxic bleach solution as a “miracle” medical cure.
stim3on, I truly feel there is a need for a standardized calibration system to produce color images from satellites that are true to human color perception. This is absolute standard behavior for a DSLR or even your phone camera, but too often neglected in scientific imaging.
(1/many)This is a copy of my thread on Twitter. Lots of discussion is happening over there already: https://twitter.com/stim3on/status/1681776551065530368

stim3on, If we take a look at how this is done with digital still cameras (standardized in ISO 17321-1) we see that after basic (e.g.: noise, vignetting) calibration and whitebalancing, the image is in a scene referred color encoding.
This color space is unique to every sensor and wouldn't look the part if we don't take that into consideration. So in a next step tone and gamut mapping is applied to transfer the data into a display color space (like sRGB).
stim3on, The calibration is documented in this hefty document:
https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/documents/dscovr/DSCOVR_EPIC_Geolocation_V03.pdf
There are considerable challenges with this kind of calibration, which is why I think it's not widely adopted.
Or maybe just no one thinks beyond radiometric calibration for their sensors, because that's way more important for quantitative analysis than pretty colors...
...the paper draws five conclusions: (1) It is not analytical thinking per se, but analytical thinking directed to evaluating the truth that safeguards us from believing or spreading fake news. (2) While psychological factors can distract us from exercising analytical thinking and they can also distract us in exercising...
The family, defending itself in the trial, declined to provide an opening statement.
megschwamb, Has there been some work in the literature on what is the ethical way of communicating results of technosignature research to the community and public? I imagine the key SETI folks have written some documents/thoughts on this, but have these suggested protocols and thinking been updated with the rise of social media and internet? #SETI #scicomm #astrodon
megschwamb, I’ve been pointed to this paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0094576515301247 #scicomm #SETI #astrodon “#FoundThem–21st Century pre-search and post-detection seti protocols for social and digital media”

vicgrinberg, (edited ) I did give an invited talk in the "Art & Science" session at #EAS2023 #EASKrakow2023
Here the key slides - not art-sy, but hopefully useful for some folks!
And unsurprisingly it feels super vulnerable to talk very subjectively about my art practice and about my insecurities (but also so important in order to encourage others!).
knud, 👍
Victoria-Cheering-Squad here! My office t-shirt today (first day back after Euclid launch).
aleks, @vicgrinberg first two tips are really good and applicable to things like writing or making music. Or even doing science. Finding the overlap between the circles 'things I like' and 'things I can do' is really important. This might be surprising and completely unexpected!
House Republicans used an oversight hearing to accuse former NIH officials Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins of complicity in the COVID pandemic. The loser in this cabaret is science.

BlueAppaloosa, Hello #PortfolioDay! I do 3d printing for #SciComm and #SciArt. Lately I've been patching and printing 3d scans, so here's some older work.
You can find these on my Etsy Store https://www.etsy.com/shop/blueappaloosastudio/
or find other links in my bio!
A 3d printed model for demonstrating the movement in a viper skull. Different part are printed in different colors and pinned together with Chicago screws.
Two 3d printed amblypigyd designs. On the left, reddish-brown colored, with a keyring and key. On the right, dark brown colored. A US penny in between.
laminda, TIL that there are moths that froth!
This is Amerila astreus, found in India, Sri Lanka and New Guinea, and those yellow spheres next to its head are made up of tiny bubbles. Some species in this "frother" genus release bubbly secretions from glands near their eyes, to warn off predators.

rachellense, Okay, Mastodon. It's been a while since I've posted something science-y, so here ya go:
You should definitely watch this clip of a possibly as-yet-undescribed species of cirrate octopus (family Cirroteuthidae) ballooning itself to epic proportions!
