#PPOD: On June 25, NASA’s #JWST turned to famed ringed world #Saturn for its first near-infrared observations of the planet. The initial imagery from JWST's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) is already fascinating researchers. Saturn itself appears extremely dark at this infrared wavelength observed by the telescope, as methane gas absorbs almost all of the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. However, the icy rings stay relatively bright. Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/Andrea Luck
It breaks my heart thinking about all the #students who were ready to start their new #MSc or #phd in foreign countries and now they have to give up because they cannot travel from many more countries other than #Israel and #Palestine
Great to see that the report from ORF (austrian television) picked up on the point I highlighted in the interview (in German) that we need to include indigenous environmental knowledge when looking at migration and #resilience in the context of environmental change
NWS continues to flout ADA and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act...after the breaches have been repeatedly brought to their attention
Don't tell me ableism in STEM is no big deal. What the hell use is your #SciComm if you refuse to communicate important data (weather alerts, warnings, disasters) accessibly? Eugenics, is what it ends up being. #DisabledAndSTEM
You may think "eugenics" is an exaggeration here, but if you're a public agency disseminating information people need to make decisions about their safety and the safety of their homes in a form that can only be fully read by abled people, in the midst of #ClimateEmergency, then you're not just ableist but eugenicist. #DisabledAndSTEM#SciComm
While on the subject, AAPD has a call out for testimonials to the US Dept of Justice as to how web inaccessibility affects you. Comments need to be received by Oct 2: https://aapd.quorum.us/campaign/51385/
The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Once again, the IHC will participate in the European Researchers Night in the city of Évora. You can visit our stand and also participate in any of the three activities that we're offering.
"The prevalence of bad science can be expensive and carries a significant cost for those attempting to build upon it, both in terms of financial resources and wasted effort [...] In addition to wasting time and resources, bad science can also have serious consequences for public health, safety, and the environment."
..."incentives for early career scientists to work on fixing the scientific record are limited."
I think this is the first review of Rosalind's Siblings I see! From Clara Ward.
"Suffice it to say this anthology offers twenty more unique points of view, each brimming with literary and societal insights, a surprising number sharing both tea and comfort." 5*
🔭🧬🔬 Arranca la segunda jornada del #CGutenberg23 con la mesa "Ponga usted a un comunicador o una comunicadora en su organización" con🗣️Angela Monasor, Rubén Permuy, Núria Saladié y moderada por Concepción Sanz.😉
En mi mini charla sobre ‼️Mastodon y ciencia‼️ en #CGutenberg23 fue “curioso” comprobar (en vivo y en directo) como prácticamente nadie conocía esta plataforma…
🤔¿Pasará lo mismo con #Bluesky o las otras alternativas para la red del pajarito?
Espero haber despertado un pelín la curiosidad en alguna de las personas que estaban por ahí… 🤪
