I just went on a follow-fest for women with a PhD, but realized I'm already mutuals with almost everyone who shows up in the limited search results 😋

If you're a Dr. Gal or other female science communicator type, pop into the thread, say hi!

I'd love to learn about what you do 💜
(and I'm sure lots of others would too)

Now Twitter is officially derelict, here comes astronomer @sundogplanets with an epic thread about space junk falling on Canadian farmland. Enjoy.

Perhaps that will convince more people than standard arguments.

On this :
The assumption that is a mere add-on and irrelevant for modern economies, is one of the most extreme sectarian ideologies I can think of. Unfortunately, it's still dominant in academic and business circles. The real thing: Human economies are a mere sub-set of the economy of nature, which in turn is based on biodiversity. As long as economists don't make that their starting point, it will become increasingly difficult to sustain human civilization.

When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.

Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.

Use the word.

@rbreich @BenjaminHCCarr I‘ve used it in a 2015 talk after Trump had stepped out of that golden elevator. At the time it felt provocative, now it‘s a diagnosis.

@luckytran so what‘s the model, accepting gazillions of data-sucking advertising „partners“ or finding a billionaire owner?

, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's using it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

@CarveHerName @Tinido All‘n all, the science system has been a misogynous scam for most of its history, and in many parts it still is. And what happened to Burnell should be framed not as „disadvantaged woman“ but as outright fraud by the gangster scientists who stole her merits.
