Political attacks on universities are eroding academic freedom, and that threatens the global research collaborations behind major scientific breakthroughs.
There’s a positive correlation between protections for academic freedom and the quality and quantity of STEM research.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
---
To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.
The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did.

A new study by 🇨🇭 researcher analysed nearly 18,000 #PubMed papers and found 413 cases where Ukrainian cities were incorrectly listed as Russian, mostly #Simferopol and #Sevastopol:
https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515251388044
The work shows a clear post-2014 rise in such misattributions and highlights how #war shape academic metadata. A concise and rigorous contribution to understanding the visibility of Ukrainian research.

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

Spectrum Editor Gwendolyn Rak wanted to learn about new technology at Japan’s biggest tech expo, so she tried out Timekettle’s translating earbuds. #Ieeespectrum #science

I wish #Flipboard.com would update their Mastodon version, so we could quote their posts. Flipboard.social (a different, vanilla Mastodon server) already did.
Anyhow, hereby two good YT video's about #3iAtlas

Imagine being Thomas Harriot or Galileo Galilei looking through a telescope, seeing the contours of all those craters, and blowing up the idea that the moon was a perfect sphere. (Photo: this morning's gibbous moon.)
