  1. 🌍 The Principles of Open Science Monitoring are now speaking more languages!

    Following the recent presentation of the OSMI infographic, we're pleased to announce it is now available in 9 languages: Arabic, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Slovenian, and Spanish.

  2. ☁️ Stratocumulus clouds are often considered “quiet”: 🤫They are associated with a stable atmosphere and mainly studied for their role in Earth’s radiation budget on long timescales 🌍. But they also have a "noisy" side, as our researcher Hairu Ding will show at this year's #PintOfScience in #Hamburg .
    📅May 20, 19h
    📍Kick & Company, Klausstraße 1, Hamburg

    Hope to see many of you there! #HamburgEvents #ScienceCommunication #Wisskomm #ClimateScience

  3. ❓ Want to know what it can be like and what all you can learn when joining a big scientific conference even without being a scientist yourself? If your answer is "Yes", then check out the blog post linked below, written by our team member Bärbel Winkler while attending this year's General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) held in Vienna and online from May 4 to 8.

    Oral sessions Bärbel attended focused on ...
    ➡️ best practices for science communication and outreach
    ➡️ how non-specialist audiences can learn about scientific topis
    ➡️ how students in different age groups can be introduced to science
    ➡️ the ethical, social, and cultural responsibilities geoscientists hold beyond pure research

    Short courses provided input about ..
    ➡️ the intersection of science and public policy
    ➡️ what science diplomacy is about
    ➡️ how to create an engaging short presentation
    ➡️ how misinformation can be countered and science defended

    ➡️ A Union Symposium focused on how human responses to climate change are shaped not only by scientific evidence but also by moral values, psychological dynamics, cultural identities, and religious beliefs.

    ➡️ A Great Debate about Geoengineering raised the question whether these concepts are actually a distraction from the urgent need for climate adaptation and mitigation. Some significant ethical fears were raised, particularly that large-scale testing might occur on Indigenous or disenfranchised lands without consent.

    The whole week provided a lot of "food for thought" and the blog post shows that!

  4. Ich habe vor kurzem mit Rasmus Cloes vom Leibniz-Institut für Präventionsforschung und Epidemiologie – BIPS GmbH im Digital Public Health Podcast über Möglichkeiten & Herausforderungen des Fediverse in der Wissenschaftskommunikation meines Arbeitsfeldes gesprochen. Dabei war es mir wichtig, einige Parallelen aufzuzeigen zwischen Diskursen, die wir seit Jahren in Forschung und Praxis der Gesundheitsförderung führen und die ich andererseits auch im Zusammenhang mit der Rolle von gemeinwohlorientierten sozialen Medien erlebe.
    In beiden Feldern geht es z.B. darum Menschen zu empowern, demokratische Prozesse zu stärken und notwendige Strukturen aufzubauen. Es gibt viel, was man voneinander lernen kann und gerade für die Gesundheitsförderung ist das Fediverse von großer Bedeutung. Das Potential des Fediverse wird aber dort bisher (noch!) nicht genutzt.

  5. 🐾🎈 Birthday balloons begin “failing” long before they touch the floor.
    The helium escapes invisibly. The wrinkles appear quietly. The balloon still floats anyway.
    That “slow sink” became an unexpected Rosetta-layer bridge into some of the HybridMind42 Phase 5 work on: • persistence • hidden leakage • threshold failure • and precursor states.
    Not because balloons are physics — but because sometimes human-scale experiences help us feel difficult mechanics before we formalize them.
    Marvin understood immediately, of course. 🐈‍⬛✨
    The helium drifts away. The celebration remains.

    “A stand-up comedian walks into a national park… It sounds like it could be the setup for a joke, but in 2023, Ben Miller became the first comedian-in-residence at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
    He met with park rangers and took in an active lava lake in Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. Out of that experience came a one-hour stand-up comedy show about volcanoes he’s taken on a tour around the world….”

  16. Не верящий в динозавров Игорь Ашманов и отрицающий эпилепсию Василий Генералов приняты в Академию ВРАЛ

    22 марта в Петербурге вручали премию за наибольший вклад в распространение лженауки в минувшем году. Звания «Почётного Академика ВРАЛ – 2025» удостоился известный IT-специалист и предприниматель, к.т.н. Игорь Ашманов.

    Жюри, состоящее из ученых, присудило Игорю премию за публичные высказывания, в которых бизнесмен отрицает биологическую эволюцию, заявляет, что не верит в самопроизвольное развитие языков и «в динозавров». Победитель, по правилам премии, награждается призом — статуэткой «Грустный рептилоид». Кроме того, в финал премии вышли математик, член-корреспондент РАН Алексей Савватеев, известный выступлениями в поддержку креационизма и гомеопатии, и дизайнер Артемий Лебедев, отрицающий глобальное потепление и заявляющий, что смертность от СПИДа «это вообще ни о чем». В народном голосовании большинство голосов досталось Алексею Савватееву.

    Член жюри, Академик РАН Евгений Александров выразил озабоченность тем, что лженаука проникает внутрь РАН — «престиж Академии наук важен, потому что люди доверяют ей».

    «Почётным Академиком АПЧХИ» — главным распространителем лженауки в области медицины жюри из медиков признало д.м.н., невролога Василия Генералова, отрицающего эпилепсию как диагноз, продвигающего лечение аутизма у детей методами с недоказанной эффективностью и пугающего аудиторию последствиями прививок. Победитель удостоился оздоровительного приза — «Золотой кофейной клизмы». Членом-корреспондентом АПЧХИ выбрали д.м.н., хирурга Владислава Шафалинова, связывающего рост числа онкологических заболеваний с вакцинацией и электромагнитным излучением, предлагающего лечить рак «ощелачивающей терапией» и другими сомнительными методами. Врач, д.м.н. Сергей Бубновский, призывающий лечить широкий спектр заболеваний исключительно гимнастикой, не получил ни одного голоса жюри и поэтому в Академию АПЧХИ принят не был. «Приз зрительских симпатий» достался Владиславу Шафалинову.

    Руководитель оргкомитета премии ВРАЛ научный журналист Александр Соколов выразил удивление по поводу того, что в финале медицинской премии впервые оказалось 3 доктора наук и задался вопросом: «Неужели ученая степень в области медицины значит так мало?» Ведущая премии, врач к.м.н. Ольга Жоголева выразила надежду, что сейчас, когда научно обоснованная медицина набирает обороты, есть шанс, что ситуация изменится к лучшему.

    В рамках мероприятия состоялись выступления биолога, к.б.н. Ильи Удалова на тему «Так в чём Дарвин не прав?» и аллерголога, к.м.н. Ольги Жоголевой «Правда о БАДах».

    Организатор премии — научно-просветительский портал Антропогенез.ру и проект «Ученые Против Мифов».

    Среди членов жюри: академик РАН, д.ф.-м.н. Евгений Александров, д.г.н. Алексей Екайкин, д.х.н.Игорь Дмитриев, д.г.н. Ольга Соломина, д.ф.-м.н. Эмиль Ахмедов, д.г.н. Елена Сухачева, д.б.н. Тамара Кузнецова, д.и.н. Кирилл Назаренко, д.м.н. Юрий Сиволап, д.м.н. Сергей Поликарпов, к.м.н. Юлия Зинченко, к.м.н. Анна Дроганова, к.м.н. Игнат Рудченко и др.

    Полный состав жюри

    ВРАЛ — Вруническая Академия Лженаук, АПЧХИ — Академия Превентивной ЧакроХирургии.

    Премия «Почётный Академик ВРАЛ» присуждается с 2016 года. По словам организаторов, цель премии — в шутливой форме заявить о проблеме лженауки и привлечь внимание общественности к важности борьбы с заблуждениями.

  22. The biological necessity of dreaming remains one of the most compelling subjects in modern neuroscience and psychology. 🏛️📜

    I am sharing an insightful new resource by Kenneth K. Gray: "Why Do We Dream? A Scientific and Psychological Guide." For those interested in the technical and philosophical dimensions of the subconscious, this is an excellent resource.

  23. The career path in medical imaging goes much further than most people realise.

    Chaundria Singleton explains how medical imaging has opened doors for mentors and managers alike. She shares a story from a former manager who went from being an imaging technologist to the operations manager of a major children's hospital.

    Don't let anyone tell you that you're "just a tech." The scope for growth in this field is huge. 🏥
