@strahlenschutz Wenn ihr sagt "eindeutige Aussagen zu gesundheitsrelevanten Wirkungen" sind schwierig, finde ich das aus einer #scicomm Perspektive schwierig. Das schreit nach einer Einordnung wie das zu verstehen ist.

Why does your Christmas tree smell even better inside? 🎄 That fresh Christmas tree smell is due to a molecule type called terpene! #scicomm #stem #science #sciants #holiday #holidays

New blog post!

Morro Rock in California is more than “just a rock”-it has its own part to tell in California’s history.

New review fresh in for #FossilFriday: Bringing to life two palaeontological expeditions and excelling at explaining scientific concepts, The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt goes deeper into the tragic history behind Spinosaurus and resurrects the forgotten Ernst Stromer.

People DID find formal explanations more satisfying when the category seemed unknown!

But only the most reflective thinkers realized tautological (uninformative) formal explanations were less satisfying than informative ones.

🧵 They live in our fluids like fish in the ocean, they breath in our lung or even leave our body. Your tiny bodymates are bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists and viruses.
The figures vary, but you probably consist of just as many non-human cells as human cells! And neither can or wants to live without the other. Your skin is a planet for such a tiny alien: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-01-ep-03-sitting-with-your-body-mates/id1630784381?i=1000581150332

🧵 Yes, yes, everyone comes out with this now ... but I wanted to mention that I have an account on ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts and, like many other freelancers, I fuel my storytelling with #coffee! :blobcatcoffee:
So I don't run on fossil fuels and I am purely human in the outer*** shell and brain.

*** which is a lie. These tiny little aliens in our body, named #microbiome, don't live only in our gut but also on our skin.

On the advent calendar today, a little thought for how many of us may be feeling this time next week.

🎄Do you know the "Christmas tree cluster"?

This cluster of young stars, #NGC2264, lies about 2,500 light-years away. Its X-ray–emitting stars shine within glowing green gas left behind from their birth cloud. 🌌

We wish you happy holidays and the best wishes for 2026! ✨

Half Male-Half Female Spider Discovered In Thailand Is New To Science

"Not only is this species new to science, but this remarkable individual is the first record of a rare biological phenomenon (bilateral gynandromorphism) in this previously unknown species."

Today's advent calendar entry is a bit of a blast from the past. It's a post that falls into a very small Venn diagram overlap between science and dresses.

My latest for @forbes is on a new material called MOCHI. It is is more transparent than glass but as thermally insulating as many materials used to construct walls. Could it be the future of windows? #science #scicomm
