I never grew out of wanting to be a marine biologist as a kid. 🤩
Mostly academic, sometimes policy-driven, always excited to improve habitat restoration in estuaries. Super fan of critical thinking.
Science and nature are for everyone.

What if scientists got paid for their peer review efforts as honorary donations to NGOs?
I would review so many more papers voluntarily if something beneficial came of it.

“What books have you read…?”
“There were no books”
Wow.
“There were no books”
Wow.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

It’s the disbelieving look at the utter trash that came out of his own mouth…
Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.
Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

Perhaps an obvious point, but beyond a certain level of wealth, these numbers become meaningless. Those eight billionaires are mostly wielding political capital at this point; the bank balances are irrelevant. What this is a record of is therefore only what they *took* from everyone else.
"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

My husband and I were running numbers and JUST TO BE CLEAR for the “universal healthcare will jack up our taxes!” Crowd—the estimated tax increase for universal healthcare would be *significantly less* than the cost of an ACA plan for 2 adults and a child next year.
Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

Anyone know why fishes aren’t code named in a standard fashion for research ease like birds are?! E.g.: www.birdpop.org/docs/misc/Al...
Clearly species have standard scientific nomenclature. But the short codes are so practical.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.
