It’s wild how music, aided by memory, can collapse time. Wires by Athlete played in a supermarket, and in an instant I was back in the ICU with my premature daughter. I’d forgotten about that song, & had to pause and listen, tearing up (relief, gratitude) in the condiments aisle.

TikTok held a competition for the best astronomy video, and I won first place for explaining how the Aurora Borealis works. I make science content because I’m passionate about engaging people with STEM, but it’s always nice to receive an award! Keep looking up!

Prof. Nuno Loureiro, Professor and Director of the M.I.T. Plasma Science and Fusion Center has been fatally shot in his home. It's an incredible shock and my heart is with his family, friends, and our shared nuclear science community. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Last week I read an interesting piece by @zionlights.bsky.social on how Finland is countering 'fake news' through educating children.
It got me thinking - are there lessons from the Finnish model that we can replicate in #DRR?

Why do people ignore evidence, and what actually changes minds? | Zion Lights @zionlights.bsky.social
Evidence alone won't change people's minds – we need to be empathetic, and understanding of who they are and what values they hold.
