FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks with Lawrence Gostin, Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on National and Global Health Law, about CDC Director Susan Monarez's firing by Donald Trump. He says that the latest development is 'a very dangerous moment for the United States' and part of a 'systematic assault on science, public health and vaccinations'.

But if you're concerned about #Trump & #RFK undermining #science & #medicine, the consensus is there for #transgender #healthcare, so you should be just as concerned about anti #trans rhetoric & anyone regurgitating it as you are for #antivax rhetoric. It's ALL #antiscience bullshit.

I do wish people would treat #transphobia as the serious #redflag it is, cos if someone is repeating bullshit #pseudoscience talking points from #rightwing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to #antivax nonsense & undermining trust in #science & #medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

Scientists are moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky, drawn by its simpler design and less aggressive algorithms. 🧬

Still, Mastodon offers stronger privacy and open-source values, making it a better alternative for many. 🔒

Why not choose Mastodon? 🤔
Healthy, respectful science communication needs better social platforms. 🌐

A new paper led by Dr. Thomas Sandnes, Durham University, and co-authored by an international team of scientists, including SETI Institute Affiliate, Dr. Jacob Kegerreis, challenges a proposed explanation for what produced Jupiter's dilute core, which gradually transitions into the envelope, with a smoothly changing mixture of the heavy core materials and the hydrogen and helium.

My friend @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social was about to adopt her first child when she came across a website with scary statements about #vaccines. She was frightened, but she's also an epidemiologist, so she knew what to do.

I'm looking away from our world for a moment.

I'm looking at the little dot in this image.

It's a newborn planet, 5 times the mass of Jupiter, carving a path through the disk of dust around its star. This is the first time we've seen the process clearly.

We are watching a new planet come into the cosmos.

What appears to be a ripple in space, is today’s Picture of the Week depicting a newborn planet eating its way through its dusty cradle as it orbits its host star. This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, is the first clear detection of a baby planet in a disc with multiple rings. These so-called protoplanetary discs surround young stars and appear as disc-shaped structures of gas and dust, often with rings like the one in this image. They are the birthplace of planets, and the rings are thought to indicate the presence of (hungry) planets in the disc. Initially, little particles in the spinning disc begin to accumulate and grow as gravity takes over, stealing more material from the native disc until they evolve into embryo planets.

Planet WISPIT 2b is about 5 million years old, 1/1000th the age of our solar system. Relative to a human lifetime, it's a two-week-old infant.

If you want to go deep: The full paper about this newborn planet is available online.
