🧼🔬 14-year-old Heman Bekele developed a revolutionary soap that reactivates immune cells to fight skin #cancer, inspired by memories of people working under the harsh Ethiopian #sun.
His #invention costs just $0.50 to produce compared to $40,000 cancer treatments, and he's now working at Johns Hopkins to bring it to underserved communities worldwide.

Really love it when there's a new paper that makes you go 🤯🤯🤯

The Nature Conservancy is hiring an Ocean Recovery Scientist
"When we measure the world with a ruler made for humans, other species inevitably come up short"
Christine Webb on the myth of Human exceptionalism—the belief that humans are fundamentally separate from and superior to the rest of nature.

In this video, an engineer / maker shadows a group of marine scientists and builds them things that helps the scientists see deeper into the world of sperm whales and other deep sea research
I always feel like no matter how many times I see a whale, I am always joyful; they are so majestic

I always feel like no matter how many times I see a whale, I am always joyful; they are so majestic
A few random marine facts I’ve learned:
- some southern sea otters eat so much purple sea urchin that their skulls turn purple
- the whales in Monterey bay don’t need to do bubble net feeding because there is so much food, unlike the situation for whales elsewhere
- California sea lions work with humpback whales where the sea lions corral the fish, the whales open their mouths and feed, and any fish that comes out stunned is picked up by the sea lions
- a sea urchin’s mouth is also called Aristotle’s Lantern (watch a video)
- Mola Mola eventually evolved the ability to retract their eyeballs into their sockets so that when they were lying on the surface, having their parasites cleaned by gulls, they won’t peck out their eyes too
- the orca in Monterey don’t eat the whales, but they like to nip at them. So some whales have rake marks on their bodies that continue to look obvious and visible even if they got them as calves
- whale milk has the consistency described as like if cottage cheese was also toothpaste, and is ejected directly into calves’ mouths with minimal loss in seawater
- sunflower sea stars are carnivores

G'day, archaeologists of the Fediverse 👋!
I am trying to identify the leading mailing lists in English-speaking archaeology in order to share an online survey for archaeologists about their use of geospatial 3D technology. This is part of my PhD research.
Any suggestions?!
Thanks!
Hey Fedi #microplastics #Science folks. We are running a workshop in Japan on a 14 Metre expedition yacht in the last half of October. Topics include atmospheric, soil and marine micro and nanoplastic research methods. We will discuss choosing sampling methods and analytical spectroscopy techniques and how to marry them effectively. 2 weeks of science and sailing in the stunning Seto inland Sea. 170eu per day. Food and accommodation on board included. Please boost. https://wicked-horizon.com/30031-2/
📚 Metcalfe’s law says that the value of a network grows with each new node. But what happens when some of those nodes are fake?
Nathan T. Camp and colleagues applied this law to citation databases, while Leo Van Hove showed that if even a third of the references are counterfeit, 🤢 the database loses its scientific value and turns harmful.
