I have no opinion on Banksy, but has anyone else noticed that this week's run *does* have a matching number of animals for each day of the week? When you count the 3 thieves + 1 wolf = 4; 3 fish + 2 pelicans = 5. So likely the theft was indeed a stunt? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter.

Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪

Bluesky is now open. Science Twitter, here’s how to use it!
The once-great science twitter is, depending on who you talk to, either dying or dead. Once a vibrant place for many discussions related to my fields of marine biology, ocean conservation, and publ…

Using AI in physics to help avoid environmentally damaging lithium mining: 🌳👍 “The methods here are bleeding edge, in terms of machine learning tools, but what really elevates this is that things got made and tested” 🧪

AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium
Researchers used AI to design a new material that they used to build a working battery – it requires up to 70 percent less lithium than some competing designs.

Forgot the 🧪🔭 not a reflex yet
Share your tips to combat stress in academia - sounds like a good convo to have as we're headed towards the new academic year.

If you're a PhD student (new or current) feel free to ask anything in the comments and I'll make a reply post to each in the coming week ❤️
As someone on the "knife edge" of academia (I'm at the postdoc stage where everyone is dropping out ESPECIALLY minorities, it's looking more and more like a sausage fest around me)...

here we go

1) Invest yourself in something else, for me it's sports, but could be books, kids, etc...

im interested in how people in academia deal with stress? what are the stressors and what helps with it

Tells you something about the fab team at IOP that a colleague is missed so much in these wonderful comments: rememberancebook.net/book/dens-mi... I knew Dens for only one month in 2000, but she made a big impression. And I will miss seeing her name in every issue of Physics World. 🧪

Someone I know just had half their undergrad class hand in essays with the same wildly incorrect and easily refutable ChatGPT hallucination in it, so hopefully this downward trend will continue…
🧪📉📈 ChatGPT user numbers fall for the first time. Main reasons:
1. Unsustainable hype
2. Market saturation
3. Security, privacy and misinformation concerns
4. Public testing now private unaccounted-for traffic
