The best thing @justinamash did today was move the line. It’s not between Democrats and Republicans anymore. It’s between people who have read the Mueller report and people who haven’t. https://t.co/VRY7mQuKGW

This is the hardest story I’ve ever done. My first international reporting trip, my first time working with a translator (reporter/WhatsApp whisperer @PaulaMoura_BR) really complex science. And a tough but necessary truth about forest carbon offsets. https://t.co/JNJvr9sgzK

Sometimes you just have to laugh at how silly-cool life can get here on Earth, apparently this is a "Sea Sheep" or sea slug (Costasiella kuroshimae).

I'm slightly aghast at how many scientists still believe the job of science journalists is simply to communicate their work. No, we are not your press officers. Our job is not just to communicate, but to interrogate what scientists do and why.

For half a century, the story of the birth of chaos theory left out two pioneering women programmers. Their story is now being reported in @QuantaMagazine by the ever excellent @josh_sokol: https://t.co/wS2oHJAivf

Last week I made a pilgrimage to Minnesota's @VoyageursNPS, home to America's highest beaver densities.

Any beaver activity is impressive to me. But Voyageurs' dams—well, they're among our most jaw-dropping natural wonders, deserving of international renown.

The rise of the far-right has been possible because old ideologies continued to be nurtured by racist intellectuals. Welcome to 21st century race science. Smart, slippery and deeply dangerous. Please do read my piece out today and order the book for more. https://t.co/VJVxvHWcnG

I traced it all back to a single paper from 2008. In hindsight, one of the authors was blistering about his own paper: "It’s just not even a valid study by today’s methodology" https://t.co/dS7ZPOnJZQ

The Carboniferous was so strange. 1,000°F forest fires raging through waterlogged & flowerless rainforests that spanned the globe & were filled with titanic bugs. The ghosts of these primal forests are in the air around us, burning & billowing from coal plants (📸Bizley, Blakey) pic.twitter.com/FxPq66wd52

Today, we have a new, modern definition of the kilogram, and a few other spiffed up units to boot. But maintaining a system of units is an unending task: Soon we might need to redefine seconds. https://t.co/qMkggx7fB6
