A black and white portrait of Sir C. V. Raman, with the text "Did You Know? The Raman Effect became the foundation of Raman spectroscopy, a technique still widely used today in chemistry, physics, medicine, and materials science, from identifying molecules to analyzing art and space samples."

#OnThisDay in 1928, physicist Sir C. V. Raman discovered what we now call the Raman Effect: showing that when light passes through a transparent material, some of it changes wavelength. This breakthrough transformed how we study matter at the molecular level. 🌈🔬

Screen grab of bluesky post showing text about Neanderthal aesthetics and a gen-AI image showing a male with inaccurate facial anatomy in a cave looking pensive, in front of him is a very complex graphic engraving in the floor and behind that is a red handprint on the wall with six fingers and a star-shape negative inside it.

Screenshot of bluesky post with text about Neanderthals and fire, and a gen-AI image showing a group of male Neanderthals near extremely small mammoths in a snowy forest. The Neanderthals have a mix of fur and leather belts and wristguards, with metallic details including buckles. They have spears, the tips of which are clearly modelled on metal spears and in no way resemble any known Neanderthal artefacts.

Close-up on the body of one Neanderthal in the forest showing details of the metal and leather belts and wrist-guards, and metallic-looking spears.

🏺🧪 Reminder - it's never good #SciComm practice to make inaccurate/misleading gen-AI imagery.
Case in point- recent posts here of #Neanderthals with complex engravings, & metallic-looking objects.
(they also apparently have 6 fingers, but I guess who tf cares when it's just vibes for the public 🙄)

Rufe, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, began her written order with a quote from George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” and compared the Trump administration to the book’s totalitarian regime called the Ministry of Truth, which revised historical records to align with its own narrative. “As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts,” Rufe wrote. “It does not.” She had warned Justice Department lawyers during a January hearing that they were making “dangerous” and “horrifying” statements when they said Trump officials can choose which parts of U.S. history to display at National Park Service sites.

La justice oblige l’administration Trump à rétablir les panneaux sur l’esclavage qu’elle avait retirés illégalement à Philadelphie.

L’opinion de la juge, qui cite Orwell, vaut la peine d’être lue, elle décrit bien notre moment « historique »

Repeated government lying, warned Hannah Arendt, makes it impossible for citizens to think and to judge When officials lie time and again, people don’t know what to trust. And when this happens, citizens cannot deliberate, approve or dissent coherently, because a shared world no longer exists.

After observing Nazism and Stalinism, Hannah Arendt warned that repeated government lying makes it impossible for citizens to think, judge and trust reality – eroding the basis for democracy.

Front Page of nature > news & views > article NEWS AND VIEWS, 10 December 2025 Oldest known evidence of the controlled ignition of fire A 400,000-year-old site excavated in England reveals signs of deliberate fires made using the mineral iron pyrite to produce sparks. By Ségoléne Vandevelde Uncovering convincing evidence for the identification of ancient traces of fire is a real challenge. Writing in Nature, Davis et al. report success on this front. Using diverse techniques and a contextual approach, this multidisciplinary team presents a set of consistent evidence for the oldest known controlled use of fire, including signs of deliberate ignition of flames. The traces of fire are dated to 400000 years aco in Barnham in southern [...]

When you hear about a horror ask yourself:
Is this widely known?
Do the perpetuators want it to be widely known?

If the answer to either of these questions is Yes, there is no reason for you to share the horror.

If the answer to both of them is No, then you should share the horror. >
