I'm not a fan of the Soviet Union, but whether you like the country or not, it is indisputably, irrefutably, and incontrovertibly a fact that the Soviet Union won the space race.

The story of Laika is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of progress and the often inhumane methods used by state powers like the Soviet Union. Scientific and societal advancements should never comes at the cost of ethical considerations and humane treatment of human and non-human individuals. #Science#Veganism
In 2020, Swedish neuroscientists put 30 trans and 30 cis research subjects into a brain scanner and showed them pictures of their bodies. Then they showed them images where their body had been morphed to look more masculine or more feminine. The results support the natural order of gender identity.

#PPOD: Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true-color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers) give the moon a dimpled appearance.

Tomorrow, 23 May, 12:00 CEST, #ESA and the @ec_euclid will present 15 papers, including first #astronomy results:
5x #ESAEuclid reference papers about the main mission, the instrumentation, and related cosmological simulations
10x Early Release Observation #science papers, ranging from ... near to far
At the same time ESA will make 5 new ERO images public and the underlying science images. This programme was observed before the start of Euclid's main survey.
How cockroaches spread around the globe to become the pest we know today.
From AP: "A new study uses genetics to chart cockroaches’ spread across the globe, from humble beginnings in southeast Asia to Europe and beyond. The findings span thousands of years of cockroach history and suggest the pests may have scuttled across the globe by hitching a ride with another species: people."
New paper from our group led by @lawojcik! We found that not only trait adaptation among but also within functional groups shape ecosystem functioning in simple food webs. Models may gain to consider multiple diversity facets and their corresponding sources of trait adaptation. Read more at https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.10544.
In the US “the aggression against science and scientists is coming from one political party, and the extreme element of one political party” but the article talks about harassment in other countries as well.
