It’s official: scientists aren’t funny. But it doesn’t have to be this way | Helen Pilcher It’s a world of bottom quarks and arsole compounds – so why is science still so serious? Levity can make it all a lot easier to understand, says science writer Helen Pilcher

Why transdisciplinary dialogue matters: introducing the "Science Studies Meets Science Communication" book series For decades, two intellectual communities have existed in parallel, only occasionally brushing shoulders: Science and Technology Studies (STS) and science communication. But both are deeply invested i...

We’re launching a new book series!

The 'Science Studies Meets Science Communication' series aims to forge a sustained dialogue between the fields of science communication and STS.

Our research is in #GEO #magazine!

As a boy, I read every issue of GEO from front to back.
Now the work of my lab is in it.
Feels kind of surreal ...
and very grateful for the journey! 🙏

Big THANK YOU

The Unspoken Contract On plasma, spacecraft charging, and the assumptions we forget to question.

Common sense says things settle. Turns out, space disagrees... loudly and at a high voltage!

Which leads to my new essay: starts with coffee ☕, ends in orbit 🛰️.

What's your field's version of "but I assumed it would balance out"?

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month
Much of our knowledge on endometriosis also comes from animal models.
Our work and others show
Hormonal resistance, persistent inflammation and fibrosis as the key.

A Train Map for Space On the Tisserand graph and where gravity assists can take you before the software ever runs.

Most interplanetary missions are impossible without gravity assists. We basically slingshot them around planets to gain speed for free. But where? How? In which order? Turns out there's a map for that (more of a graph really) 😉

When Science Meets Spin Why Misreading New Sleep Research Puts Students—Especially the Most Vulnerable—at Risk

Don’t misread the data: Later school starts widen the sleep window for all, but structural barriers can "cancel out" gains for minoritized youth. The problem's not the policy—it’s the inequity.
