Thing i did not expect to say today: "Do we need an opinion piece on Hitler's willy?"

Much fun to be had discussing whether it was 'hoofed' or 'hooved' for this headline

22 of Earth's 34 'vital signs' are flashing red, new climate report reveals — but there's still time to act Earth's systems are nearing tipping points that could plunge the planet into a "hothouse" regime — but there's still time to prevent that from happening, scientists say.

A bleak report, but one with a tinge of optimism if we can just, you know, stop burning the planet... www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

There is such a thing as 'settled science' — anyone who says otherwise is trying to manipulate you How bad-faith arguments sow doubt by weaponizing scientific humility.

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.

Should probably think of a few more adjectives next time i post something though 😂

Atlantic ocean currents are weakening — and it could make the climate in some regions unrecognizable A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic is an ominous sign that a system of currents that regulate the planet's climate could be weakening.

I love this feature by @saschapare.bsky.social (even if it is a bit bleak). Great writing, and i think it looks great www.livescience.com/planet-earth... #amoc

Science at a crossroads: Dispatches from Friday's 'Stand Up for Science' rallies across the US Our science journalists reported on the Stand Up for Science rallies held in New York City and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Colossal creates 'woolly mouse' in new step towards mammoth de-extinction Scientists with the company Colossal have created genetically engineered "woolly mice" with thick, golden-brown hair and fat deposits similar to those of cold-adapted woolly mammoths.

Here's a great report by @saschapare.bsky.social on @livescience.com about some adorable woolly mice, and what they mean about bringing back woolly mammoths from beyond the grave www.livescience.com/animals/land...

Invisible DNA lurks everywhere in the environment — and we're on the verge of decoding its secrets Environments are littered with the DNA of the creatures that inhabit them. Analyzing it could provide a real-time view of how our planet is changing.

This is a great feature on #eDNA by our Planet Earth editor Hannah Osborne. We're using a new article template, which i think looks really lush thanks to @marilynperkins.bsky.social's excellent design skills. What do you think? www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

Asteroid YR4 impact odds plummet as NASA changes threat level of 'city-killer' NASA has been changing the odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in recent days, but the latest shift significantly downgrades the asteroid's threat level and makes a moon strike more likely.

I think i'm just going to call time on this asteroid www.livescience.com/space/astero...

Hi, BlueSky, I'm Brandon -- I edit the Space and Physics sections of LiveScience.com.

I'm always looking for fascinating stories about our planet, our universe, and (just covering my bases) anything that lies beyond.

Scientists and science writers, feel free to pitch me anytime (email in bio). 💜✨

NASA changes odds of the asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 yet again — but this time it's good news NASA increased the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth to 1 in 32, or 3.1%, on Tuesday, but they're now back down to 1 in 67, or 1.5%.

So, turns out US readers don't necessarily know what 'tiddler' means... Which is why i'm now banned from doing headlines for the time being.

This is incredible, takes me back to watching the show for the first time.

In the latest installment of 'things on Mars that looks like things that shouldn't be on Mars'...

Good luck Tiff 🤞
