February 15th is Torontohenge, when druids ascend Bloor Street and Chthonic Old Ones stalk The Danforth
📈🧬 For the first time in #history, #US life expectancy has reached 79 years.
Beyond recovering from the #pandemic, researchers say we are seeing a significant drop in deaths from heart disease and drug overdoses as medical treatments and public #health efforts continue to improve.

Do most people know that a ‘good’, 'full-time', 'permanent' job in #STEM #research is often just a constant search for part-time, temp jobs called ‘grants’?
This very short article explains the increasingly #softMoney model of #science in #higherEd:

I am prototyping a workshop idea for easter. Its fun but trying to center and egg is a challenge 😅 I think I have to 3D print an adapter or even the hole egg 🤔 Also attaching the egg to the motor is hard. If you use glue, the egg breaks when you take it off. For my prototype I glued a small magnet to the egg....
This will become a variation of my spin art robot. So i has to be suitable for age 8 and up: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/spinartrobot
🎓 U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office
｢ Some 10,109 doctoral-trained experts in science and related fields left their jobs last year as President Donald Trump dramatically shrank the overall federal workforce. That exodus was only 3% of the 335,192 federal workers who exited last year but represents 14% of the total number of Ph.D.s in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) or health fields employed at the end of 2024 ｣

I am unwittingly taking part in a longitudinal study exploring the extent to which various items can be dunked in a water bowl. The PI has most recently collected data on submerging his entire food dish in said water bowl. The methodology behind this data collection remains unknown, as are the hypotheses and implications of this important work.
