Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

70 seconds over 9 years and 3 billion miles…

…I just… Damn 

[lyrangalia]

Launch to Pluto flyby for New Horizons took 3,580 days, and she was off by 70 seconds. That’s like… That’s an error of 0.000000226%.

That’s fucking insane.

That’s not even a rounding error!

[optimysticals]

Thank you for putting words & numbers to my awe of her precision.

[puppygirllaika]

Don’t forget that not only was the flight long, it also involved a gravity assist from Jupiter, meaning the calculations had to account for the probe whipping around our solar systems largest planet and being flung off towards Pluto after already speeding away from earth for a full year.

I cannot fucking believe I am drunk, past midnight, and tumblr is throwing fucking saturated fatty-acids at me

[musicprincess655]

Listen here friendo I didn’t sit through a year of organic chemistry for you to come into my house and call a carboxylic acid a saturated fatty acid you respect that hexadecanoic acid

[bismuthcladbattleship]

And I didnt get a degree in biochemistry to hear you say that carboxylic acids with aliphatic chains arent fatty acids. That hexadecanoic acid IS a saturated fatty acid!

On the ocean floor near the Galapagos Islands, a submersible controlled by scientists came across a mysterious octopus as blue as the ocean

they put RFK jr in charge of the agency that most directly affects everything i've been doing in my real life career for a decade so if I start posting like i've clamped car batteries to my nipples it's because i have done exactly that

I knew eventually I'd have to make this post but the events of this week have pretty much been the last straw. The CDC is no longer publishing scientifically accurate information about vaccines.

Please do not get health information from the CDC for the foreseeable future. If you are an American, depending on your state, the state health department may have more accurate information. States in the Governor's Public Health Alliance are relatively trustworthy.

I've personally been using Dr. Kaetlyn Jetelina's newsletter as a less-grim way to keep up with US public health news. It's on substack unfortunately, but the information is solid.

Yale School of Public Health's POPHIVE is also a good way to track population health trends in the US.

I know this is not at the top of the administration's crimes. But it is one of them, and it is going to hurt a lot of people. Not much I can say but that I'm heartbroken.
