Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told a delegation of more than 200 U.S. lawmakers that Israel is akin to the “wife” of the United States. “Every time we have members of Congress come over here, I always say to them, ‘Guys, welcome to the 436th Congressional District of the United States.’”

This forced narrative about Charlie Kirk being a nice guy reminds me of the coerced conformity that I experienced as a child as we would recite the pledge of allegiance before class. I can't pin point what it is exactly, I just know that It feels gross.

Aftershocks from the M8.8 Kamchatka #earthquake will likely continue for years. This sequence now also includes tensional events in the outer rise area, where the subducting slab bends to dive into the mantle. 🧪⚒️

Four hours after the arrival of the first #tsunami wave at Crescent City CA, as shown by this tide gauge record, more than thirteen hours after the M8.8 Kamchatka #earthquake, the wave height again reached almost 1 meter, not that much lower than the maximum of 1.1 m almost three hours earlier. 🧪⚒️

The problem is there are two different questions the blue check answers:
1. Is this person reliable?
2. Is this person who they claim to be?
These two goals are *directly in conflict*. There are people who are totally unreliable info sources, but you'd want to know the account isn't impersonation.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list
