The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I had a great AGU meeting this week in New Orleans, LA presenting two posters and convening two sessions! It was so nice seeing friends, colleagues, and connecting with scientists in the space physics and space weather communities!

It’s now a thing that when your institution gets shot up, largely because one political party refuses to limit firearms, that same political party will then seize the opportunity to come for you viciously with lies and try to destroy the institution
The Trump administration and its allies seized on the shooting at Brown University to cast the school as incompetent and ideologically hostile to conservatives, amplifying unfounded claims that a Palestinian student was responsible for the bloodshed.

In the gap between the shooting and an arrest, several top officials cast the school as inept and ideologically hostile to conservatives.

i think it’s more helpful to think about the vaccine rec news like it’s a step in a project instead of an immediate crisis. they are chipping away at the foundation for vaccine access. but many states/coalitions will fight. remember, drops in vaccination rates are inherently slow (years to decades)
