📆 April 2025 Strongest hints yet of #biological 🦠 activity : high levels of sulfur-based gases like DMS and DMDS 124 light years away, concentrations thousands of times stronger 📈 than on Earth.

The accepted classification for #scientific discovery would be below a 0.00006% probability they occurred by chance. The researchers say between 16 and 24 hours of follow-up observation 🔭 time with #JWST may help them reach the five-sigma significance https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/strongest-hints-of-biological-activity

@ZLabe Besides these precarious personal consequences, the long-tern consequence of trumpism could be total #loss of #scientific #knowledge in #climatescience (and other fields of science, because neofascists hate independent research and well-informed citizens, virtually everywhere). While this is unfolding, our planet’s #climate could pass several essential #tippingpoints.

[older papers, but good guidance; we had all this in our university training, (hopefully) to good effect, but some reminders for us all, myself included!]
“Many young researchers find it extremely difficult to write scientific articles, and few receive specific training in the art of presenting their research work in written format. Yet, publication is often vital for career advancement, to obtain funding, to obtain academic qualifications, or for all these reasons. [They] describe here the basic steps to follow in writing a scientific article..."

#PredictionMarkets have a real #scientific basis and can, if they are run correctly, be used to get better predictions than other expert opinions.

#Polymarket is based on #crypto, and as such has a built-in bias towards the kind of person willing to buy crypto. That’s a hit towards the credibility of the platform and a suggestion it might be more about #gambling than meaningful predictions.

Now, they have 5 minute live-bets on whether #bitcoin goes up or down. With live charts and colorful and moving indicators for “predictions” (gambles).

Well, it looks like that #UNESCO joined the competition for the most miserable international organization on the Earth (if there isn't one, somebody shall invent it, really). As if #Olympics were not enough.

Welcome a new call for nominations for UNESCO- #russia "Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences"

Yes, they keep collaborating with russia as if nothing happened.

Yes, that's exactly how the enemies work: a lot of money to undermine consolidation in efforts against #russianWarCrimes . Under pretending "to be out of politics", "it is all about science", and further excuses.

Just reminding, that these "out-of-politics" folks keep destroying #universities and #scientific institutes in #Ukraine, kill #Ukrainian #scientists. And that russian chemical industry is a part of their war machine.
