Global warming is coming…
Despite what you have read
Despite everything you have heard
Despite everything you know to be true
Regardless of your better judgment
and your amygdalas common sense application of fight or flight
Do… Not… Panic
Yes the threats seem to be increasing
The responses to those threats underwhelming
The proposals by world governments undeliverable
The urgency in public conversation absent
And the predicted outcomes prophetically grimmer by the day
But whatever you do…
Do… Not… Panic
Sure the moment to stop it completely has passed
Sure there is a level of sea level rise now unavoidable
And sure the short-sightedness of past inactions
Has decidedly put us up a creek and downwind of a pig farm all without a paddle
But.. Do… Not… Panic
Because where there are problems
There are solutions
And we absolutely can and will
Science our way out of this
As long as you…
Maybe panic just a little bit and then slap yourselves in the face a few times
Pour cold water over your head… because for some reason
Then say “I got this!” roll up your sleeves and listen to another episode of
This Week in Science!
Some quick science news!
World Science Day for Peace & Development
The universal right to science will underpin a sustainable future.
Greenland!
It’s melting faster than we thought…
I love this song and by this song I mean the bass I can’t hear at all
Low bass imperceptible to the human ear makes us wanna dance. If you didn’t already feel manipulated by DJs you will now…
Fertilizer Fields
Adding fertilizers and other chemicals to plants changes their electric fields and affect the way bees interact with them.
Plants
We can build them better
Cosmic Spin Cycle
Is Messier 77 a cosmic accelerator for high-energy particles called neutrinos?

World Health Update!
Vaccine Hoarding
We could have saved more lives if we shared better.
Vaccine Choice
Moderna’s COVD vaccine causes significantly more cases of myo- & pericarditis than Pfizer’s. These cases also tend toward the younger & male groups. Regardless, both vaccines are still much safer than the possibility of myocarditis due to COVID infection.

Throwing Octopuses
Do octopuses throw things at each other intentionally?
