Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning.

Infographic. mRNA vaccine. Custom tumor targeting. Custom mRNA vaccine which retrains the dendritic cells and T cells. 10 out of 14 TNBC cancer patients are cancer free at 5 years. 10 green women, 4 gray women.

Good News! The same mRNA platform used for COVID vaccines is now being personalized to fight aggressive breast cancer. buff.ly/PHcr1wu

In a new study, custom tumor-targeting mRNA vaccines trained the immune system to attack the cancer.

10/14 patients cancer-free at 5 year mark!

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Rare, dangerous side effects of some COVID-19 vaccines explained “Groundbreaking” study uncovers why adenovirus-based shots caused life-threatening blood clots and bleeding in some people

Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved. 

It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

This report highlights the fact that progress for #WomeninSTEM has been uneven and lacks entrenchment.

As we observe another #IDWGS, I hope we can increasingly move beyond flashy posts from institutions & corps, and toward open dialogue about systemic changes needed for women to thrive in science

Two individuals stand on separate paths surrounded by cloudy skies. One path leads to a steep staircase rising into the clouds, while the other path and stairs descend. The image conveys themes of choice and direction.

Women researchers are cited less than men. Here’s why—and what can be done about it

“We cannot change the system without the community on board.” #WomenInScienceDay https://bit.ly/3NQq965

A group of diverse individuals are engaged in discussion, each speaking into speech bubbles containing various icons: a baby, a graduation cap and gown, a scroll, a baby bottle, and a laptop displaying a graph. The artwork uses vibrant colors and a sketch-like style, emphasizing communication and diverse topics such as education, family, and technology.

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone

"The more we talked, the clearer it became that the real issue wasn’t just finding partners or preserving fertility. It was the systemic barriers." #WomenInScienceDay https://bit.ly/4rsd41l

Did you know that stereotypes about STEM professionals can affect children's interest in pursuing STEM?

Scroll through to learn more about the barriers girls and gender-diverse youth face in STEM and... some good news.

New data from the 2026 CMA Health & Media Tracking Survey shows Canadians who follow health advice from AI are 5x more likely to experience harm. Gaps in #AccessToCare are pushing people toward false health information, with real consequences.
