Conventional sales wisdom is to use someone's name a lot to try and win them over. There's even scientfic proof that most people love hearing their own name. Am I alone in absolutely *hating* it? It always comes off as fake to me.

While #r4today presenters gleefully mock the lack of financial knowledge of the general public what about the lack of scientfic acumen displayed on most days by Nick Robinson and Justin Webb?

i think being anti-AI but conceding it as a "major scientfic development" and "useful to medicine/coding" is still doing silicon valley fascists' job for them by presenting it as more advanced than it is. they want it to be mythologized so it has power over us. you cant give it ANY ground

Idaho Native Plant Sale Saturday, April 26th 10am-1pm at the MK Nature Center. Was able to find Rock Clematis at last year’s sale and it’s happy in my yard this year. If you can’t make it, Draggin Wing and NEON are great resources too. 🌱 #Boise #NativeGardening

A lot of grief could've been avoided if people in the Anglosphere realized that a lot of what they call (scientfic/naturalistically-oriented) philosophy in the 20th century simply didn't happen under the name *philosophy*

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! I saw a photo of this real caterpillar and was certain it was a fierce, leaf-dwelling dinosaur. I think it'd be an excellent book. 🤣 I'm repped by the patient Lara Perkins at @andreabrownlit.bsky.social, who listens to many of my crazy ideas like this one.

This! Debating and philosophising will only take you so far. What we need is scientfic rigor.

Ah. Late night TV has lost its value.
Like scientfic research has lost its value.
Libraries. Hospitals. They lost their value.
Minorities. Foreigners. Women. Tourists. Doctors.
They're out, and the only possible reson must be that they've lost their value.

The halt to scientfic process is already happening. Without study sections, projects can't be reviewed or funded - and the science stops. The scientific process moves slow, the science we are benefitting from right now started years ago. Our future depends on the action we take right now!
These are some of the NIH "study sections" that were planned for 2025 but did not meet (study sections are panels of experts who review research grant applications to ensure only the best science gets funded)

Friend of mine started to do scientfic communication using slightly incorrect analogies to make complex topics more approacheable and ditched most jargon, now phds are furious with her for calling birds "repitiles" and other things that are slightly wrong but get the point across.

I am not trolling and i spent last year and a half here to amplify the voice of scientists.
But one issue still bothers me. Why can’t i find at least few percents of all scientfic articles on climate in social sciences and psychology, why people are not listening science, and how to change this?

Well, there is no scientfic merit in that at all

IMO, it would be remarkable if extraterrestrial life did not exist. That would raise more philosophical, religious and scientfic questions than finding extraterrestrial life.

A lot of food for thought here. Down the line, many aspects here are based on the hypothesis that we need to have machine readable scientfic results (completly repurposing article from : we write for a "human" community - to - we write for LLM using our results). That opens a lot of questions...

So, while most people seem to grasp on an intuitive level that something can't be right with Trump's grotesquely high tariffs, it's important to point out that they really lack any scientfic basis whatsoever and are guided by a deeply flawed logic and extremely unrealistic assumptions on trade /end

A recent statement by the London Convention/ London Protocol parties reiterates that marine geoengineering should only be allowed for scientfic research. New (it appears) is that Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement is specifically mentioned.
