📰 Irene F. Pimentel escreveu uma crónica para o @Publico sobre a investigação acerca da #Shoá e de outros genocídios:
"Enquanto historiadora, penso que afirmar a especificidade da Shoá não elimina a necessidade do estudo comparativo com outros genocídios."

Today's not-so-random portfolio artwork (sticking with the Urvogel) is my life-size model of Archaeopteryx (50cm long), which I built for the Cole Museum (Reading University), in 2021. [The mould was built by my friend Jade Hughes.]

We'll have to postpone our conference with MSC Lab in Munich due to the strike. This is sad, because we feel the enthusiasm for evaluation of #scicomm. We'll keep you updated about the new date and are looking forward to seeing you then in Munich.

On the nightside, the spacecraft observed infrared light coming from the lower atmosphere through clouds. The shadow of the clouds can also be seen in the image.

I was invited to speak at ASCB this week on the linked worlds of Science & Art.
In a nutshell: I think science and art converge in #DataViz.
For effective #datavisualization and any #visualization we use a number of time-tested practices from the arts. And we need them especially where we communicate data in #SciComm.

Endometriosis: It’s time to change the pattern of pain, stigma and barriers to diagnosis and treatment.
“Patients described being dismissed, that their pain was “just muscle pain,” “all women go through this,” and “this is the way cycles are for women,” and to live with it.”
“…endometriosis patients need more research, more options and more attention to be paid to the disease.”

@rygorous I consider myself highly educated, but I still don't understand how a quantum computer, an LED bulb, or quantum tunnelling work. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is the lack of people who can translate all this into normal, understandable language?
Perhaps a better #sciComm in #physics instead of arrogance that I often find there could help?
While humans often express admiration for the way (or ways) birds navigate the atmosphere, the ways in which we demonstrate that appreciation can be surprisingly DISMISSIVE.
The action of a bird's wing is routinely identified as 'flapping'
- but nobody would talk of a marathon runner 'flapping their legs' or a piano player 'flapping their fingers'.
What a bird's REALLY doing with its wing is AT LEAST as subtle & varied.

A “hypothesis” is a presumption that will first need to be tested. “Theory” can substitute for “hypothesis” in everyday speech, but it has additional meanings, such as in contrast pairs like “theory versus practice”. Conversely, a scientific theory is a full system of cohesive and tested claims about reality. Researchers often use theories to confirm their hypotheses. 🤔

As ocean temperatures rise, more and more coral reefs are put at risk of extinction.
A collaborative research team have developed a method of isochoric vitrification that allows coral to be cryopreserved without harm and then revived with a prepared solution, allowing them to be moved to increase biodiversity and genetic resistance to increasing temperatures.

Did you know that galaxies are almost empty? Stars within them are so far apart that when galaxies clash their individual stars don't collide – they just get tossed around due to gravitational interactions, distorting the shapes of the galaxies.

As for my part of the project, I developed the visual style and designed all elements and interactions; came up with the structure, story progression, and game mechanics; orchestrated the development of the game, sound design and built the website.
#scicomm is my most favourite thing, and I’m really striving to make the world better, one design at a time :-)
This year I finished one of the most fascinating projects I ever worked on.
Together with a team of researchers from the molecular neurodegeneration department at Amsterdam UMC we came up with a visual and interactive way to present their latest paper on tau protein aggregation and its effect on astrocytes.

In my latest for CNN I take a step back into the past to look at ancient, birdlike footprints from southern Africa, dating to more than 210 million years ago (much older than the oldest skeletal evidence of the earliest birds).
Fossil tracks blow my mind because they preserve impressions of the animal's ACTUAL FEET, and they often provide unique clues about body morphology and the animal's behavior.

We’re shining the spotlight on one of our SETI AIR alumni. George Bolster joined the program from 2016-2017, but his experience with the AIR program continues to echo through his creative work. His artworks fuse 1960s sci-fi imagery, 19th-century technologies, and 21st-century concerns about our planet’s future. By transporting us to other planets, Bolster’s films and installations challenge our anthropocentric point of view while delighting our senses.
@dailygrail @coreyspowell The survey does not seem to distinguish between scientists as providers of information and scientists as policy makers. One problem during the pandemic is that "scientific" assertions were also mixed with value judgements and non-scientific ideas about how society operates.

New Zealand microbiologist Associate Professor Siouxsie Wiles is suing her employer, the University of Auckland, for not doing enough to protect her from the online/IRL abuse and harassment she endured as a high-profile scientist-communicator during the pandemic.
The case includes discussions of academic freedom, and the importance of institutions supporting academics to exercise their role as 'critic and conscience'.
But the counter is whether health and safety considerations pose a limitation to academic freedom.
