Questa boiata nucleare, dove un PROGETTO di una azienda diventa un MINIREATTORE spacciato per funzionante, illustra bene il concetto di “PATHOLOGICAL SCIENCE” (scienza patologica) usato negli studi di comunicazione per indicare finte “scoperte” nate da un finto “dibattito scientifico” che si svolge fuori dagli ambiti preposti a tale scopo (riviste scientifiche peer-reviewed) per svolgersi unicamente sui mass media. Un termine coniato dopo la bufala della FUSIONE FREDDA. #NoNuke#Scicomm
Dive into our April roundup, a collection of highlighted articles from different sources that illustrate the wide range of fields in which our scientists are excelling.
Whether teaming up with experts in whale communication or studying data from far-off moons, our scientists consistently uncover revolutionary findings.
Starmus VII hit all the right notes from beginning to end: Put together stars and music and you get Starmus, a world-class event that combines science and the arts to make the world a better place.
#PPOD: Orbiting 400 kilometers above Quebec, Canada, planet Earth, the International Space Station Expedition 59 crew captured this snapshot of the broad St. Lawrence River and curiously circular Lake Manicouagan on April 11, 2019. Right of center, the ring-shaped lake is a modern reservoir within the eroded remnant of an ancient 100-kilometer diameter impact crater. Credit: NASA, International Space Station Expedition 59
Humans Really Are The Most Terrifying Predator On The Planet, study out of Western University & University of Tasmania🇦🇺, published by Royal Society ProceedingsB #Biological #Sciences
Here's a painting (acrylic on card) of a Carboniferous coal forest, for a publisher back in 2008. Apart from the Hibbertopterus, which is wrong in a variety of ways, I think it still works okay.
My Harvard Horizons video is now on YouTube! I worked hard on this with some talented animators, really excited to share it with ya'll :)
This is a short, public talk of my research: exploring connections between galaxies and cosmology with @desisurvey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIB0F_oNxdM
We like to believe that we are rational when assessing risks, whether that applies to seat belts or climate change. But our decisions are strongly influenced by our emotions, and not simply by facts. On Big Picture Science, it’s “Skeptic Check: Feeling Risky.”
In 2008 I painted (acrylic on card) a few dinosaur portraits for the cover of DINOSAUR HUNTER magazine, by Hachette. This was peak "awesomebro" for me and it began the process of an important stylistic change, but more about that another day. This is a monster-like Pachyrhinosaurus.

The 2008 book, A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS; I'm posting a few more of my illustrations (it is a fictional story, so be prepared for plenty of inaccuracies). Here is a juvenile Brachiosaurus.

In this week's #SETILive, Beth Johnson chatted with Dr. Bonnie Teece about her initial analysis of microbial traps left on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean near Axial Seamount and what they could mean for our search for life beyond Earth, especially involving ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus.

This month, two teams of astronomers announced the potential discovery of Dyson spheres in our galaxy. But have we truly found indicators of highly advanced civilizations? Join Dr. Franck Marchis and Dr. Lauren Sgro as they delve into these groundbreaking findings and their implications for SETI research.
#PPOD: A massive storm, large enough to encompass most of North America, was spotted in Jupiter’s northern latitudes by NASA's Juno spacecraft on May 12. Juno is currently in its first extended mission and recently wrapped up close flybys of the Galilean moons Ganymede, Europa, and Io. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/ @kevinmgill
