This is a cool little science thing. Force field, or force wall precursor? Not in the form that this is showing, but it's still cool nonetheless.

You want to Make America Great Again.
1. Educate the people.
2. Give us all the ability to have good lives and good jobs.
3. Make sure we are all healthy.
4. Encourage creativity.
5. Make us feel safe. In our jobs. In our lives. In our homes, and in our country.

The world is horrible, especially in America, but what are some good things?
1. The ability to use fusion for power for energy.
2. Molten salt fission reactors.
3. Multi-wavelength solar panel. UV solar panels.
4. Electricity generated from waves.
5. Anti-aging discoveries. Alzheimer's discoveries.

This is important if we want a better future.
The systems that connect scientists with politicians are not working well, according to a Nature survey of around 400 science-policy specialists around the world. The survey, together with more than 20 interviews, revealed where some of the biggest obstacles to providing science advice lie. 🧪

Science could solve some of the world’s biggest problems. Why aren’t governments using it?
A Nature global survey finds that most specialists are unhappy with systems to provide science advice to policymakers.

I have been blown away by the incredible support I have received in response to this essay. We are so much stronger when we stand together. And when we stand up to the bullies as a collective, we win. Fuck the trolls, they can’t and they won’t scare us into silence. 💙💪🏻
I love you guys!!
They don’t know me, and I don’t owe them shit, but I will do them this one little favor, I’ll give them this one teeny tidbit of advice - if you underestimate me, you’ll do so at your own peril.

Believe me.

The anti-science that is building in the United States is so sad when we are on the verge of so many great discoveries that could make everyone's lives better.
What happens when heart tissue is damaged?

To address heart tissue damage, a team at the University of Colorado Boulder invented a new strong, stretchy, and sticky hydrogel material that could act as a Band-Aid to heart or tissue lesions.
A Strong, Stretchy, And Sticky Band-Aid For The Heart
Researchers developed a 3D-printable material, inspired by worms, that can act as a Band-Aid for damaged heart and cartilage tissue.
