First "new" cat species to be discovered in 100 years is only new to science. Researchers propose the cat should be known as Leopardus tilcayo, in honor of the Quechua word local people know it by.

A decade ago, a “weird” kitten was found on a road near a Bolivian forest. Too small to be a housecat, he had a scrunched-up face, short round ears, long whiskers, & a coat of leopard-like spots. DNA analysis now reveals him as the very first of a newly discovered species & I think I'm in love. 😻🧬🧪👇

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

"Worse than Carter" is so sweet because it's now in every possible way.

Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61! That's the worst Trump has ever polled on inflation, & not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter!"

If you’d like to see a philosophy talk about how social beliefs influence science, and then science influences social beliefs, and then they keep feeding back on each other, you can

FFF – Cailin O’Connor - Closing the Loop on Social Influence in Science

The Center for Philosophy of Science invites you to our Featured Former Fellow online lecture presented by: Featured Former Fellow: Cailin O’Connor Tuesday, September 22nd @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EST Title: Closing the Loop on Social Influence in Science Abstract: The prevalence of social influence in science is widely documented. But this influence is not one-sided. Social beliefs and values shape science, and at the same time are shaped by scientific findings. This mutual influence raises the possibility of dynamical interplay between science and society. But while this possibility has been mentioned numerous times in the literature, there is relatively little work attempting to analyze and outline how this mutual influence might work. This talk argues that two-way influence between science and society is promiscuous, occurring via a wide range of mechanisms that start with both values and related cultural background beliefs, and influence both values and related cultural background beliefs. I’ll discuss three sorts of general patterns at play—positive feedback, polarizing feedback, and amplification. This talk will be available online only: Zoom: https://pitt.zoom.us/j/91092965122 YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg.

The word "reliable" in the paper title is doing some heavy lifting here.

This is the future of scientific papers.

Instead of a PDF, the paper is an AI agent that you can talk to, ask questions, run analyses.

No more digging through supplements - just ask the paper directly: "what p-value cutoff was used in Fig 3B? Re-run at 0.01."

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) on Wednesday said the nation’s worst measles outbreak in the United States in 35 years is “going to be a terrible legacy for this administration,” citing recent deaths in Pennsylvania.
