Yeah, I'm sure all the nuclear scientists out there will marvel at how brilliant and simple such an idea would be.

Vaccines 'don't cause autism': How scientists figured that out.
#Scientists, medical providers and medical researchers are clear on this: Vaccines do not cause autism.
To those tuning into the #vaccine debate now, it can feel like scientists are dismissing the theory without considering it. But there's a reason. There has already been a mountain of research investigating vaccines and debunking any connection with #autism.

Answer: Because most #doctors who see patients all day know nothing about #COVID & even less about #longCOVID. They are ~17 years behind #scientists. If they were at all familiar with the #science they'd be wearing #respirators.

The world is becoming less colourful. Across #Brazil and much of the #tropics, #butterflies are fading as #forests give way to industrial #plantations. Once vibrant with flashes of red, blue and gold, their wings are now turning brown and grey. New research shows that colourful #species struggle to survive in eucalyptus plantations where the #light is harsh, the #air is dry and the forest floor is stripped bare. The result is an eerie quietness.
#Scientists describe a sense of emptiness where the rich texture of life has drained away.
Colour in #butterflies is not decoration. It evolved over millions of years as a language of #survival helping them attract mates, evade predators and blend into complex forest backdrops. In diverse #ecosystems colour signals #abundance and #complexity. In degraded #landscapes drabness becomes an advantage. The most colourful species are often the first to disappear when native #vegetation is lost,
Nice reminder for all communicating #scientists to be specific (by the Science Media Center):
"Talking about systems and processes and strategy without giving any examples of what that looks like to normal people reading the news puts even more distance between scientists and the people. The public are alienated and the meaning is lost."

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. 🌐

Open science forms the pillar for mankind to invent a better world, and a society worth living in. Or so it should be, if academia weren’t held captive or willing prisoner to commercial interests. Fediverse opens new grazing grounds for #scientists, #engineers, or anyone for that matter, to uncover new #wisdom and #insights collectively.
If only more #OpenScience tools would add #ActivityPub support to join our #fediverse.
But we have @bonfire Open Science app, and @scifed as early adopters.
