Last week, Unistellar, an innovative company in optical devices and a partner of the SETI Institute since the release of their user-friendly smart telescope in 2017, announced the launch of a groundbreaking new product: the ENVISION Smart Binoculars. This new device will captivate stargazers and outdoor enthusiasts, serving as an excellent instrument for outreach and scientific expeditions.
On the lunar surface, a single Earth day would be 56 microseconds shorter — a tiny number that can lead to significant inconsistencies over time. That’s why scientists aren’t just looking to create a new “time zone” for the Moon, but an entirely new “time scale” that accounts for the faster speed at which seconds tick by up there.

A beluga can change the shape of its "melon" (the bulbous mass on its head) at will. Could this be used as a form of communication? A new study indicates that it might. Here's a story from @hakaimagazine with a six-panel comic illustrating the five different melon shapes and in what contexts some are used.

Unlike conventionally farmed barley, which became genetically uniform, organic barley maintained genetic diversity, aiding adaptation to environmental changes.
Patient Privacy and Security in Payer Analytics: Best Practices
Regular drills and updates to the plan ensure readiness in the event of an actual incident. As payer analytics continues to evolve and play a pivotal role in healthcare, protecting patient privacy and security must remain a top priority. By implementing best practices such as data de-identification, strict access controls, encryption, patient consent management, regular security audits, employee training, SIEM systems, and a robust incident response plan, organizations can ensure the confidentiality and integrity of patient information.
@talia_christine@mynameistillian Physics isn't just quantum physics, you know. I study material science and I could lick samples with relative impunity (aside from everyone else in the lab looking at me like I lost my marbles).
The 'German' cockroach Blatella germanica is only about 2,000 years old as a species, according to new research. It apparently evolved from a wild Asian roach when it adapted to live and travel with humans.
