This is about Shiga toxin producing E.coli in sprouts. Shiga toxins are bad news and in worst case can lead to kidney failure. Also ood safety experts will tell you that sprouts are among the riskiest foods for bacterial contamination. So…
Don't forget that the Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight! It's one of the best of the year, with maybe 50 per hour visible. I wrote all about how to watch it for the 2023 shower; the basics still all apply. www.scientificamerican.com/art…
So now we're pretty sure Betelgeuse has a binary companion, another star orbiting it. What happens to the star when Betelgeuse blows up? Nothing good, though weirdly it will almost certainly survive the hellish ordeal. I wrote this! www…
BTW if you've ever thought, "Hmmmm, I wonder what kind of person could get Scientific American to print a lyric from Queen's 'Fat-Bottomed Girls' in an article about exoplanets", now you know. www.scientificamerican.com/article/eart...
I just went out to look at the eclipse (using eclipse glasses of course); where I am roughly 1% of the sun is covered. I could *just* see a little nick taken out of it. That was actually pretty cool.
Do you want to write a story about volcanoes that changed history? the editor asked. Why yes. Yes, I do. My piece in @knowablemag.bsky.social on the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days that can transpire after an eruption: knowa…
It’s the circle of life and it moves us all—even stars. (Also, Pumbaa was right, stars ARE balls of gas burning billions of miles away.) #NASAWebb has taken new images of planetary nebula NGC 2392, nicknamed the Lion Nebula, in high-resol…
A new study finds slavery still casts a long shadow on the United States’ well-being, worsening the health outcomes for Black people in certain locations more than 150 years after abolition. https://scim.ag/4zhYD4N
The US National Science Foundation will award about 30% fewer new research grants this fiscal year than in the last one, Nature has learnt. go.nature.com/3UcGoNW
#NASAWebb imaged the Lion Nebula in near- and mid-infrared light just in time for #WorldLionDay. The stellar core, looking like the lion’s “nose,” is responsible for sculpting the nebula’s complex gas and dust structures: https://news.stsc…
"The central challenge is no longer building models that reproduce biological behavior, but building models from which causal structure can be inferred." Very sensible paper about not just throwing everything into your simulation or model.…
On Earth, life may have emerged not once, but twice. A new study pinpoints ancient genetic differences between our planet’s earliest organisms, bacteria and archaea, which hint at a common origin from a single, deep-sea source that was its…
