Too many of us share this experience. (+1)

If you haven’t seen this Instagram post from Hassan Ihssan at the Perimeter Institute on how much what we hear as students and say as professors affects us as scientists it’s worth a read.

What a real AI-free, human-generated logo looks like when you start your own science business. The painter’s tape cost me extra. Still, totally worth it. Janky but genuine.

I found much of this compelling, particularly, "Our collective rate of progress will be determined by how well our infrastructure helps us verify, filter, continuously synthesize, and even find surprise from the firehose."

Researchers across the country are turning to side hustles to fund their work. Behind the cuts sits a bigger shift: whether American science can still sustain durable research capacity. @lindseydcameron.bsky.social and I examine the stakes in a new piece @science.org: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

3 years after publishing my book 'Representational Change and the Use of Metaphors in Problem Solving', this week it has finally become open access www.taylorfrancis.com/reader/downl...

I had a thread about it on Tw*r, but I've long since deleted that account, so let me say a few words here:

Methods in the Philosophy of Science: A User's Guide, edited by the inestimable @phieveigl.bsky.social (and me!), has 27 chapters from super-cool philosophers of science explaining how they do their thing, and is now open access! Our baby is free! #philsci

You know you’ve being doing research and Minecraft too long when searching computer files for a journal article you swear you downloaded five years ago sounds like digging through a shulker monster. #researchlife #minecraft

I’m looking for good quotes about the reality of scientific discovery from everyday scientists. Preferably something they said in a talk (but in a paper is ok too). Or you can riff live. Hit me with your best ones! #science #discovery #philsci #histsci #physics

Any history buffs out there know when and where was the first use of the word “discovery” re: a scientific finding? Been looking at old dictionaries and learned it used to be used to mean uncover info as a spy. Now I picture scientists as peeping Toms. Awkward. #histsci #lexicographer

Aloha Bluesky!

I'm Bernadette, founder of The Insightful Scientist. We help researchers use scientific discovery as a force for good. Also, we’re based in Hawai’i. Happy to join researchers and thinkers here. What discoveries are on your mind right now?
