Populär-wissenschaftliche Bücher sind (im Großen und Ganzen) ein Scam.

Ich pack das grad gar nicht.
Bei Gelegenheit kommt da noch mehr, ja.

My fellow #caffeine addicts, this is one of my favorite Guardian long read #podcasts. This excellent documentary gives surprising(!) insights into health & historical aspects of the world's favorite legal drug. #Popscience at its best.

The return of race science

Utterly brilliant book, great narration, well researched, profound warnings and inspiring message

Works for lay people and scientists

Every time a scientific study seems to imply that drinking alcohol might improve some aspect of human health, it's massive media coverage guaranteed. Today's case in point: Red wine against dementia.

Like everyone else, humans co-evolved with other species, from microbes to intestinal worms to large predators, but many of those species are no longer with us in meaningful numbers. #RobDunn looks at the often negative effects of living around a species mix that is so different from those we evolved with: we might not miss being hunted by leopards, yet parts of our biology do. Fascinating #PopScience but a little prone to wandering off topic. #FinishedReading #bookstodon @bookstodon

We need better and more PopSci by scientists

#FinishedReading Nobel winner #GeorgeSmoot 's story of the search for structure in the cosmic background radiation, with co-author #KeayDavidson . A quite accessible story of the challenges of conducting experiments in increasingly ludicrous and expensive places: high altitude balloons, U-2 spy planes, the South Pole and, of course, outer space, in an attempt to get a clear view of the echo of creation. #Bookstodon #PopScience @bookstodon

@bookstodon #FinishedReading this engaging #popScience look at the (mostly microscopic) life that shares our houses. There are gross parts of course, but this is largely a celebration of the value of living amidst invisible biodiversity, which makes me feel better about my well loved but very far from sterile home! #RobDunn #Bookstodon @bookstodon

Nikt nie lubi „kleszczy”, a takich co przyszły ze wschodu… ZE WSCHODU! :D to już w ogóle. :D

Anyway, fajny film przyrodniczy i ciekawy sposób na zrzucanie robaków z robaków xD Ino nie celem leczenia, a liczenia, choć na pierwszy rzut oka widać, że te słowa mają wiele wspólnego. :D

Atlas Obscura's Dan Nosowitz set out to determine what the fastest language in the world is, and immediately encountered a problem: What does that mean? Number of syllables spoken in a set amount of time? Amount of information conveyed? Language that can be understood when cranked up to the highest speed? He spoke to quantitative linguist Francois Pellegrino about how experts measure all this, and together, they came up with an answer.

Perhaps my favourite title from this week's crop of new book releases, Joe Roman's pop science book, Eat Poop Die

#WhatTheGruffalosReading : the G-Man is happy to see a new book from a good friend of ours, Gillian Arbuthnott, with illustrations by Christopher Nielsen - From Cells to Ourselves, pop science for younger readers!

Out now from Templar Books

I was raised on #pbs. First #sesamestreet and The Electric Company, then #zoom then 321 Contact and eventually #Connections. I added Curiosity Stream to our Roku last week and tonight I’m fan-girling - er - *watching* the new version. Give me an hour with James Burke connecting Napoleon’s toothpick to Nielsen ratings any day. #popscience #popsci #untappedhistory #jamesburke

Как начать новую жизнь
Учимся у насекомых

#popscience #biology

Если вам кажется, что вы живете вполсилы, никак не можете реализовать себя и все больше ползаете, когда хотелось бы летать, у вас есть два способа начать новую жизнь. Либо идти к ней долго и постепенно, отращивая новые способности миллиметр за миллиметром, либо рискнуть и попытаться получить всё и сразу.

Если вы выберете рискованный вариант, то сначала придется разрушить себя изнутри, а потом — провести несколько дней в полностью разобранном состоянии, когда не работают ни мозг, ни желудок, и большинства органов просто нет. Этот путь может показаться слишком радикальным, но он стоит того. Именно так поступает большинство видов животных на Земле, и у них всё получается.

Попробуйте себя в роли насекомого и пройдите настоящее полное превращение. Посмотрите, как выглядит превращение изнутри, — и будете знать, к чему готовиться, если решите на руинах старой жизни построить лучшую версию себя.
