"Research is messy. … Trying to protect students from that reality does them a disservice."

On #InternationalDayOfEducation, take a look back at this Working Life essay on teaching students about scientific failure. https://scim.ag/4sTaQcH

Las fronteras a EEUU deberían cerrarse, o exigir cartilla de #vacunación, para ingresar a México después de decretar la inmunización contra la #polio como optativa.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers
James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

Me encantaría conocer un estudio de emisiones en avenida #Tlalpan después de la construcción de la #ciclovía. Un despropósito total donde los activistas vendieron su integridad. Ni ciclovía segura, ni obras complementarias, ni movilidad efectiva les acabaron dando.

How #AviLoeb is still hired by Harvard is a mystery. What a joke of a "researcher".

#3IATLAS is an interstellar comet, a beautiful cosmic object to study, not to create baseless panic and misinformation.

Avi Loeb is a case for #scicomm to talk widely about poor ethics in academia.

Wish me luck with the #tylecodon #buchholzianus, such a rare #succulent. It already lost its beautiful tiny flowers and has started to leaf.

Lovely new image of the #Trifid #Nebula from the recently commissioned #VeraRubin observatory. Mexico will be helping to reduce the huge amount of data and engaging citizens.

The nebula is a star forming region 21 light years away.

La sonda europea #HERA sobrevoló #Marte y una de sus lunas (#Deimos) el pasado miércoles para obtener un empuje gravitacional en su camino a estudiar el asteroide #Dimorfos.

La sonda Blue Ghost, actualmente posada sobre la superficie de la #Luna, captó video del #eclipse lunar total de ayer; que visto desde la Luna es un eclipse total solar.

¡¡¡ #Saturno tiene 274 lunas !!! Se le agregaron 128 hoy.
La Unión Astronómia Internacional, el único órgano facultado para hacerlo, reconoció los 128 nuevos cuerpos que apenas tienen algunos kilómetros de tamaño.

Hoy y mañana -viernes 28- en el atardecer se verán 4 planetas a simple vista si tienes cielos claros y horizontes despejados. No 7 como dicen los medios (para ver Urano y Neptuno necesitas telescopios). Mercurio será visible por minutos y Saturno será opacado por el Sol.
