Why This Vertical Farm is 500x More Efficient Than Farming by Undecided with Matt Ferrell

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.
—Robert Sapolsky, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, p. xii

The cover of the Lancet says it all. The Trump administration is destroying healthcare and science.

In the 2nd half of A World Appears Michael Pollan acknowledges that the #science of #consciousness does what science does, abstracting away everything that can’t be measured; looking from the outside in. But the map is not the territory. He begins to look at and talk to phemomenologists and our actu…

I've rarely seen a #movie that does more harm to the public image of #science and #research than the #film

“In research [doctoral candidate Colin Domnauer] is preparing for publication, chemical extracts from lab specimens produced behavioural changes in mice similar to those reported in human. [sic]”
So, is it safe to assume that the #mice perceived that they, in turn, were surrounded by even tinier mice? 🤔

I'm going to talk about my work today... to 4 year old kids at my daughter's school :)))
I hope my wet lab skills are good enough to isolate a DNA from banana!

Another area in the study of #consciousness that has been almost entirely ignored by #science is the #unconscious. Partly because it’s difficult to study, but also due to a political bias against the u…

Sclérose en plaques : l’espoir vient du collectif
Un candidat médicament sérieux apparaît pour la sclérose en plaques. Au-delà de l’espoir possible pour les patients, l’organisation scientifique à l’origine de l’avancée propose une leçon de politique scientifique : pas de génie, beaucoup de collectif.

Me, in my fedi-hole: It seems like the tide is finally shifting and academics are rejecting GenAI.
Academics in my work email: Join the revolution! Produce more papers faster with AI! This is Science!

RE: #SocialMedia-Plattformen z.B. belohnen tendenziell Tempo, Zuspitzung und Emotionalität. #Wissenschaft funktioniert aber oft anders: langsam, überprüfend, mit Einschränkungen, «einerseits-andererseits» und «da muss man differenzieren».

Forget describing new species, how often are we adding new genera, families, orders, and classes? New higher-order clades are often "hidden" as symbionts or in less-accessible habitats

What happens when you connect 400 car batteries in series and zap stuff? Anthony Drake will show you with this video. A couple years ago he hooked up 100 batteries. YouTube had some problems with that and almost cancelled his channel. He added some safety tips and they’re happy now. It’s 2 hours long and worth the time. It’s only ≈65V but he gets up to 150,000 amps. #science
