cool resource to see the extend of #science #funding dismantling in the USA grant-witness.us/
for example

NSF funding curves: we can see that there was a significant lag in funding during FY 2025 occurring during the spring and into the summer (March through August), which is consistent with reported disruptions to award review and funding processes.

Here's Why Personality Tests ALWAYS Work* by SciShow
#science

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.

To amuse myself I'm evaluating baits for mosquito-killing buckets: oak leaves, straw, log, and beetroot skins. Leaves and straw are standards but I'm curious whether I can attract tree-hole species (e.g., Aedes triseriatus) with the partially submerged wood. And beets are packed with geosmin (a sesquiterpenoid), a known oviposition attractant. Stay tuned. #mosquitoes #science #biology #entomology

It's a Penguin Books publication (with a nice penguin) and is priced at 1/6.  It's faded, slightly battered and has some light stains.

Here are the Houdini fly traps attached to my insect hotel. The malbec, grape vinegar, and water cups are all attached in a slightly haphazard way, but hopefully will be useful in assessing whether Nicole Kenney's idea (use malbec to attract them) works on the east coast, too. My big concern is that I only saw one Houdini fly today so I might be setting it up too late. #BeeHotel #InsectHole #osmia #flies #science #biology #diptera
