  “Most orange cats are boys, a quirk of feline genetics that also explains why almost all calicos and tortoiseshells are girls.” “After 60 years, scientists know why gingers, calicos, and tortoiseshells look the way they do.” #scicomm #animalcoloration www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 🐈 🦊

  57 years ago today, Jocelyn Bell detected a series of strange, repeating radio signals. Her finding led to the discovery of pulsars...and inspired the iconic cover of Joy Division's first album. 🧪 www.cam.ac.uk/stories/jour...

  Will Hydrogen be the new heating source for buildings? The answer based on a meta review of 54 studies is no. Compared to heat pumps or district heating with heat pumps, it is more expensive. 🧪🔌💡 a 🧵

  For #FossilFriday check out this beautifully preserved fossil millipede! Meet Pleurojulus, a 305 million year old animal from the USA. The fossil preserves details including the head (marked h, in the top image), with chewing mouthparts (marked m). ⚒️🧪🦀🦑 #evosky

  Jocelyn Bell Burnell transformed astronomy #OTD in 1967 when she made the first observation of a pulsar. She and advisor Antony Hewish initially dubbed the object LGM-1 (“Little Green Men”) for its regular signal, but soon identified it as a rotating, magnetized neutron star. (1/n) 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

  (1/6) When we think about microscopic objects likes cells or viruses, we often forget how close they are to atomic scales. This is a model of the virus responsible for COVID-19 where the individual atoms of the virus are represented by colored spheres. #Science #Chemistry #Biology #Virology 🧪

  I'm going to restrain myself and not write this in all caps but Alan Guth is the nicest man on the planet and ok actually there are a few scientists who are the reason I am still a scientist. He is one of them. 🧪

  A good comment on how racist and sexist bias is affecting 🧪 starter packs 🔭 ⚛️ I have definitely noticed this and had a moment where what I really appreciated is the way Black studies folks have embraced me. It’s why I still do science. Scientist sure as hell aren’t.

  “The collective diffraction of light produces an array of colors. When the fish contracts and relaxes its muscles to swim, the sarcomeres slightly change in length, causing a shifting rainbow effect.” #scicomm #animalcoloration #iridescence #fish www.sciencenews.org/article/tran... 🧪 🐟 🌈

  Dr. Marissa Civic @stemfactually.bsky.social

  There are always a few faculty/teachers who discourage some #students from pursuing STEM. I've been told I couldn't land some jobs because "I am a woman". Don't let anyone discourage you from pursuing #stem. Anyone can positively contribute if they work hard, learn, and gain experience. 🧪👩‍🔬🥽🍎#edusky

  Took a wildlife tracking class this morning, and learned lots of things about footprints and scat etc, but one of the coolest was this: slugs leave tiny chomp marks behind on trees after they scrape away the lichen with their radula! 🐌🧪
