Last month, I donned my hard hat and took 15-minute cable far underground to look at how JUNO is shaping up for its big neutrino quest nature.com/articles/d4158…

Scientific sleuths like Guillaume Cabanac ⟨here and elsewhere⟩ are picking up dishonest use of ChatGPT in peer-reviewed papers.
Authors didn't disclose they'd used ChatGPT, but didn't delete the phrases 'As an AI language model...' or 'Regenerate response'. 🤦

Tasmanian devil cancer vaccine approved for testing in captivity. More permits are needed. Likely need a few rounds of trials before going to the field. Gemma Conroy nature. See the thread for some of the papers tht went into developing this vaccine.

Pretty cool to learn that Gemma Conroy's The New York Times article about my paper on the rediscovery of two 'Proteo-saurus' casts made the actual printed paper. Congrats again, Gemma!

Getting my photo in the NY Times. Check.✅

And just like that, we have another 'Proteosaurus' cast!

Great work by Gemma Conroy for The New York Times. After speaking with Dr Martin Sander about our research, it turns out he'd been aware of this cast for 30 years, but didn't know what it was until reading our paper! The system works.

So Dr Dean Lomax found 2 copies of the first complete ichthyosaur skeleton, which was lost in WWII. Then I accidentally helped uncover a third copy while chatting to an outside source about the study. You can’t make this up. My latest for The New York Times

This just seemed like a cool story about paleontological detective work...until Gemma Conroy unexpectedly helped the scientists find a 3rd example of a plaster cast of the fossil in question while she was reporting. Then it became a MUCH COOLER story. nytimes.com/2022/11/01/sci…

We depend on trees more than we think, so it's important that we take care of them. Here's how Australians are looking after our trees.

When people say “you’re made of star stuff” it’s supposed to be inspiring, but all it tells me is that I exploded once and I will very probably do it again.

Trees and fungi have been friends for millions of years, but scientists are only just beginning to unravel the secrets of their partnership.

In the latest issue of The Brilliant, we talk to ConservationBytes. He uses the power of maths to chart the course of our changing planet. But he knows talking about science from the heart is the way to change minds.

I'm biased, but I reckon this is the best and beautifullest exploration of the images I've seen published so far.

Stellar work (🥁) from Gemma Conroy Genelle Weule & Emily Sakzewski.

Bring snacks and dive in. 🌌🤩

Some of these tiny, faraway details (and by details I mean ENTIRE GALAXIES) are just stunning huh - even to a non-specialist eye... 🤯

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to : nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

There’s been a lot of hype around microdosing psychedelics as a potential treatment for depression, anxiety and PTSD — but what does the research actually say about it?
