Photo of the cover of Lisa Hoffman‘s book „Female Mindsets“ showing silhouettes of female heads in shades from blue to pink. It has the subtitle: „how thinking patterns form femininity - about birth, sexuality, and the power of expectations“
I always feel it’s a #SciComm pity that there seems to be no real culture or incentive among German psych scientists to write #PopSci books. So, I really admire that @einanfang.bsky.social actually did it! Excited to find her new book »Female Mindsets« in my mail - looking forward to diving in!

Although the asteroid theory wasn't formally proposed until 1980, it starts to show up in #popsci articles about the dinosaurs after the #Tunguska event in 1908.
Instead, the point of the comic is the predictable periodicity of comets.
Talking about #neuroscience to school kids at Lund University today! I love #popsci you always get some of the weirdest and most interesting questions
Loved this book from Michael J. Benton on all life on earth since life started. It had a few dinos 🦖🦕 but specifically my favourites, dodos 🦤
I think I need to start a new thread or rather a new book shelve on the big extinctions related books 🥹

Review: Battle of the Big Bang: Niayesh Afshordi and Phil Harper ***** - Very much pop sci for scientists and science nerds - impressive discussion of the debates between theoreticians if you have the background to follow the arguments popsciencebooks.blogspot.com/2025/06/batt... #bookreview #popsci
Popular science writers, To explain a concept For God's Sake Do Not start your book with a history of outdated theories or worse personal accounts of scientists! Don't mislead by oversimplifying. Start at the basics, explain simply & well, then expand from the solid base. #Popsci #science #writers
