#PPOD: One of 42 proplyds—ionized protoplanetary disks—discovered in the Orion Nebula in 2009 using the Hubble Space Telescope. Proplyd 181-825 is one of the bright proplyds that lies relatively close to the nebula’s brightest star, Theta 1 Orionis C. Resembling a tiny jellyfish, this proplyd is surrounded by a shock wave caused by stellar wind from the massive Theta 1 Orionis C interacting with gas in the nebula. Credit: NASA/ESA and L.

Consuming More Plant Protein May Aid Healthier Aging In Women
Dietary protein intake, especially plant protein, in midlife plays an important role in the promotion of healthy aging and in maintaining good health at older ages.

We are so honoured to receive support from #YWCACanberra to continue to make, grow, and level up our #Sci_Burst #podcast
Last week, our co-host @1sabelR was awarded a very special #GreatYdeas Grant to boost our #scicomm passion project and bring more quality #science in #popculture content to you 
We even got to catch-up with one of our season 2 guests, who spoke about their own experience receiving this grant in 2024 and where it took them

Here's my Lark Quarry trackway (Australia) illustration from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton Uni Press). Featured is an angry Muttaburrasaurus scattering a group of theropods (an interpretation of the hundreds of fossilised footprints).
My featured blog post today is the development of the boomerang, which occurred at least 14,000 years ago.

Science communication can be a lot of fun — as recently demonstrated by our grad student Arfor Houwman, who produced a short dance video to explain his PhD topic in #QuantumPhysics. He even won an international award by AAAS and @SciMag for the clip (category #Physics) , so we highly recommend checking it out!
All we've gotta say is: lasers, lasers, lasers - LASERS!
One concept that creates misunderstanding is “scientific consensus.” It’s time to stop using this shorthand and make clear what it really means.
To make that clear to politicians and to the public, communication scholar Kathleen Hall Jamieson believes that scientists need to talk instead about “convergent evidence.”
Se parli di consenso puoi essere contraddetto mostrando un singolo in dissenso, se parli di evidenze convergenti devono mostrarti altre evidenze.

#PPOD: NASA’s JWST spacecraft has peered deep into yet another nebula to reveal star- and planet-forming processes previously invisible to us. The space telescope’s near-infrared camera captured this beautiful and intriguing image of star cluster NGC 346, showing clouds packed with dust and hydrogen—the building blocks of future worlds.
