1/3🧪⚒️🌋Whimsical Wavelengths - A science podcast is here to show Deformation and #gravity go hand in hand in #volcano monitoring like apple pie and icecream. These 2 techniques say much more together.
For this Ep I reached out to a friend to share her #research on Sierra Negra #volcano, Galapagos!
Looking into Sierra Negra Volcano's caldera. A fumarole can be seen in the distance. Photo taken by today's guest during her field work View from within Sierra Negra Volcanos' caldera. Weather is gloomy with enough sun to create a rainbow in the distance. Photo taken by today's guest during her field work.

🧪The latest Episode of Whimsical Wavelengths - A #science #Podcast is out. It is all about #insect respiration! The Diagrams in the back of the #meme are derived from CT scanning insects! The tubes that make up the respiration system don't survive #dissection
Pod found everywhere they are listed
A science meme showing that other science disciplines are just as complicated (or more so) as rocket science

🧪1/2 We are a science podcast and Tomorrow the ep is all about the Mediterranean Basin. For the moment let me step into my wheelhouse 🌋.
A great example of publicly funded research providing valuable data on how #volcanoes work. #Nature #siesmic

🚗🌆 We introduce EVolSplat — a feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting model that enables real-time, photorealistic rendering without per-scene optimization.
Trained on KITTI-360 & Waymo, it sets a new SOTA for autonomous driving applications. #CVPR25. Paper & Code: xdimlab.github.io/EVolSplat/

🧪1/3 Welcome to Pt 2 of Gravitational lenses - Whimsical Wavelengths. Here we finally get to the star of the show, strong gravitational lensing. The paper underlying the topic.

🧪It’s out! The newest episode! All about #food science with a special guest Dr Bryan Le.
I seriously debated asking what a food scientists favourite #movie is…..
But I already knew the answer.
“The Yeast and the Furious“
Listen to hear a few more bad #science #jokes & peer-reviewed 🧪 about umami!
A satirical movie poster that goes with the punchline of the joke in the Blue Sky post "the yeast and the furious". It shows 5 yeast microorganisms (part of the fungus kingdom) stylized as human characters wearing sunglasses and jackets behind a sports car.

A new claim that dark energy isn’t necessary, we just need to properly account for inhomogeneities in the universe. Maybe. But his idea has been discussed for a long time - David Wiltshire, an author here, has been pushing it for 20 years, and others have also looked at it. (1/n)

1/# 🧪⚒️🌋Much like Whimsical Wavelengths episode 4 the impending #Nova forecasted for the Blaze star ( #TCrB). There is a new forecast for a #volcanic eruption! An under water #volcano called Axial Seamount. Using a set of instruments that were installed before

Scientists predict an undersea volcano eruption near Oregon in 2025
Real-time data from Axial Seamount off the Oregon coast is providing researchers with a good eruption forecasting test.

1/4 I’ve broken a small threshold of 100 follows! So a thread about me? I Dr Jeffrey Zurek am the creator and host of Whimsical Wavelengths, a science #podcast. The pic is me trying to be a Bond #villain? The 📷 in the background of the shot was taken by me in Hawaii in I think 2010 It’s not recent.
Dr Jeffrey Zurek in-front of a projected image of a lava lake from Kilauea. Looking like villain

Sprawling multi-part feature at @quantamagazine.bsky.social on emergent spacetime. Fun!
quantamagazine.bsky.social Quanta Magazine @quantamagazine.bsky.social · Sep 25
Albert Einstein upended our view of the universe by merging space and time into a single dynamic fabric. Now, many physicists are coming to their own radical realization: The fabric of space-time seems to emerge from something else. 🧵

The supermassive black hole in the Milky Way’s center, seen in this new image released today by the Event Horizon Telescope, has a strong magnetic field spiraling around its edge, hinting that a jet might shoot out from it.

I don’t know who wrote this, but it’s absolutely perfect
• X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get X-Men. • Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Black Panther. • Captain America literally fought the Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Captain America. • The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance is Anti-Fascist. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Star Wars. • The Punisher isn't meant to be a role model for police or armed forces. So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn't get that, you didn't get The Punisher. • Deadpool is queer. He's pansexual. Fact. If you didn't get that you didn't get Deadpool. • Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races, and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women's right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances

Kudos to @quantamagazine.bsky.social for highlighting an example of new data reinforcing the standard cosmological model. It’s easier to only write stories when something seems amiss, which gives people a skewed perception of how things are going.
