@davej@dice.campLet’s face it: $500 million’s a lot of money. It has to come from somewhere.
If we give astronomers half a billion for their networked telescopes, for instance, the fossil fuel industry might need to pay market rate for their diesel—for a whole *week and a half.*

@outer@mas.toI 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.

@jby@ecoevo.socialForget 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

@DrPlanktonguy@ecoevo.social @qurlyjoe@mstdn.socialWhat 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
