science and space travel are best done by people in love with the science not people in love with profit

Look what I get to take home. Last night, DEATH OF THE AUTHOR won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel and THE SPACE CAT won for Best Illustrated and Art Book. My daughter Anyaugo was there with me 😊. What an amazing night. ✨

Carney is not making Canadian science stronger or more globally competitive by spending $80M to recruit researchers from outside Canada while doing nothing to improve stagnant funding for researchers here and gutting DFO, Environment Canada, Ag Canada, Canadian Space Agency, etc.

"Day 107, orbit 1658 — One of my hobbies in space is inventing fun science experiments on Sunday mornings. It’s a lot of fun, more challenging that I had imagined & it requires quite a bit of creativity! Spoiler alert: it does not always go as planned… 😂" – @esa.int astronaut S.

Space science for your heart 🫀 At the edge of space, European researchers injected blood samples into this circuit and measured how hard blood needs to be pumped to flow in microgravity. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

You’re going to need a big heatwave this summer to kill off a few hundred thousand aging pensioners in order to free up the budgetary white space to save global science.

Why do stories like this come from science, and not like, accounting? Science is one area where we give humans time and space to think about and understand something real about the world. We know how jellyfish glow! Amazing! And now when we need something glowing, we can thin

“Anthropological Note”, by Albert Nuetzell, his cover for April 1957’s The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction. I really do like a suggestion of surrealism with my space opera.

There’s some exciting new science dropping in just under seven hours from now. One might say it’s a bit of a ROSEtta stone to a recent mystery in astronomy …. Watch this space! 👀

Like just 5 years ago I used to mockingly long to grow coconuts in Indiana with space farming research budgets but then everything kept getting even worse and worse and so now I'm not even joking I'm outright demanding science figure out how to let us grow WHEAT in KANSAS

This fuck-up of a satellite is Hyperion. It's 410 × 260 × 220 kilometers in length along its three axes, and might be the remains of a larger, now-destroyed satellite. This image was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 26 September 2005. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science I

MIT's social science library is closing, the entire book collection will be no longer available to browse or immediately check out, the space to become additional B-school classrooms? 🤬

I've talked a bunch about terrible teachers I've had, but I'd like to mention Mr. Erwin, my 6th grade science teacher. He was a great teacher and a kind person. When the school made it clear how much it disliked me, he gave me a space to be me, to be enthusiastic and curious.

MULTI-AWARDED HIGHLY RATED SPACE OPERA rxe.me/ZBTKZX A remote planet. A groundbreaking discovery. A tension that could ignite a cosmic war. "This is a novel any fan of science fiction will enjoy from beginning to end." #scifi #SpaceOpera #mustread #readers #kindle #SFF

'But in the space between the hands-on, physical reality of experimental science and the structured narratives fit for printed journals, sits a special genre of scientific writing: lab notebooks. They are the closest witness to “science in the making”

Doing some space science, also added some clouds to the planets, #screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #indiegames
