Photovoltaics shouldn't just be flat panels on a roof. Nature already solved surface area distribution, atmospheric capture, and load management with fractal branching. A 3D tree-like solar/wind collector array would be incredible for tight urban spaces. #Solar #Engineering #BlueSci

Square promotional graphic with a cream background and a splash of milk flowing diagonally across the image. A white speech bubble outlined in purple says “Boobs?” while another overlapping blue speech bubble answers “Boobs.” The World Breastfeeding Week 2026 logo appears in the upper right, and a breastfeeding-themed Reddit mascot is shown in the lower left. Text at the bottom announces: “Lactation Science AMA. Fri Jul 31st | 12–5 PM ET. r/AskScience.” The design uses humor to invite questions about breastfeeding and lactation science.

She has also published a ‘Focus Piece’ in Issue 63 of BlueSci, Cambridge’s longest-running science magazine. The article explores how primates and other non-human animals can inform our understanding of synaesthesia.

My immediate BlueSci reaction (that completely stereotypes me) - ‘That is so cool!’.

#BlueSci question.

Any recommendations for an (anti-rat) NIR 2y Ab to be used with a 730 nm laser line?

The 2 obvious choices are AF750 or DyeLight755, with (on paper) AF750 brighter? Not sure about comparative photostability?

No appropriate JaneliaFluors?

@christlet.bsky.social any thoughts?

"Annie and I were arrested several times at the Nevada nuclear test site. We organized three of the largest acts of nonviolent civil disobedience against US nuclear testing…My point of view is that it’s just something you do as a citizen."

Authorities arrested 139 of the demonstrators Tuesday, including noted astronomer Carl Sagan, who crossed a symbolic white line marking the boundary to the test site. It was the 17th announced underground nuclear test since the Soviet Union declared a unilateral moratorium on testing Aug. 9, 1985. "We must push for the termination of this madness." Dr. Bernard Lown, co-president of the International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War, said. The blast had a yield of up to 150,000 tons of TNT, the maximum Ban Treaty.

I think science BlueSky (BlueSci?) feels much like the Twitter golden age circa 10 years ago, before the Fall

It shows that the community has an appetite for it. We just need to support colleagues to relocate

I swiftly block the rare Twitteresque trolls, which seems to be working well

Bird's eye view: How do birds' inner retinae work engergetically if they don't have pre-retinal blood vessels? What does the pecten do? If some of these words/concepts sound interesting to you - read www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A digital drawing made from an oil painting by the poster, showing pigeons taking off. The eyes of two birds one on the ground, one in flight, are highlighted. The paper discusses the function of the bird eye - with its inner retina able to sustain high metabolism in anoxia, thanks partially to the action of the pecten - a structure suspended in the back chamber of the eye
