Today is Penguin Awareness Day, so please be aware that penguins are capable of projectile pooping, and can eject poo to distances twice their body lengths. Even better: scientists did a deep dive into the physical forces in penguin guts & rectums that make this awesome achievement possible 🐧🧪
Penguins shoot 'poop bombs' more than 4 feet, incredibly important study finds
Adorable penguins are champs at projectile pooping

A new paper released Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found more than 200,000 particles of micro/nano plastics in the average liter of bottled water.
Do you need another reason not to drink bottled water?

I just want 2024 to be incredibly boring. No wars, despots, pandemics, economic crises, storms, tidal waves or earthquakes. None of you lot worrying yourselves sick over work or finances or family or health. Just everyone pottering about in placid comfort, relaxed, chill, unbothered, vaguely happy.

Full Story revisited: Where did all the Antarctic sea ice go? - podcast
In February 2023 the floating sea ice around Antarctica hit a record low for the second year running. But the moderate alarm from scientists at that record low is now being overlaid by astonishment – with some worried they could be witnessing the start of a slow collapse of the delicate southernmost ecosystem.
Guardian Australia environment reporter Graham Readfearn and oceanographer Dr Will Hobbs tell Laura Murphy-Oates about why this melting is happening, and the major knock-on effects for the rest of the planet
