"A new study reports that parrots who are strangers to each other “test the waters” before forming new relationships through a series of increasingly friendly interactions that are much like developing friendships in humans."

The vampire squid's name is fairly deceptive, no blood drinking but lots of flashing in the deep sea and all happening in low oxygen! What does it eat though? The answer may surprise you! #scicomm #stem #sciants #science

Analysis of time between submission and publication of all (>36.5 million) articles in the PubMed database shows that articles with female authors have a systematically and significantly greater time until publication.

Several years later, she met Voltaire, who was one of the few people in town who not only appreciated her work, but also was infamous for falling out with powerful people, and he had to flee Paris. To help him avoid arrest, she let him stay at her and her husbands estate. Now, after having given the Marquis an heir, according to aristocratic morals of the time, it was apparently a-ok that they not only shared her husbands house, but also had a romantic relationship. But that's not all!

Honeybee royalty is all in the jelly 🐝How do honeybees become queens? A little bit of jelly, a splash of epigenetics, and very cool science! Genetically, the same as their workers, but it is that gene expression that makes them queen! #scicomm #stem #sciants #science

Online talk next Monday, 2026-02-09 at 19:00-20:00 GMT:
Prof James Bullock, global expert on biodiversity management & research, helped build CASCADE (Community for Activism and SCience-based ADvocacy in Ecology) within the British Ecological Society. A safe space for members to explore responses to the climate and biodiversity crises!
Members of learned societies are especially encouraged to come along - but all welcome #SciComm #climateandnatureEmergency

@tomstafford I assume that the #PSE8 organizers will announce at some point when and where #PSE9 is expected to take place, and that both the #conference website and its nanopublications representation will hopefully soon provide that information as well.

Today's featured blog post is all about how I tried to explain the season to Matilda, over 4 years ago.
I'm pretty sure she's got it now. Maybe I should try this with Nathaniel.

The science barometer 2025 is now available! The science barometer 2025 focuses on the topic of polarisation and the role that science can play in a society that is perceived as polarised.

‘We don't talk enough about what we have in common when conflicts arise’, says our managing director Benedikt Fecher.

All results and a background paper on polarisation can be found on our website:

Aus Metaanalysen werden klare, verständliche Texte – dank KI? Marlene Bodemer und ihr Team vom Leibniz-Institut für Psychologie setzen Sprachmodelle ein, um Forschung einfach zu erklären. Wie das funktioniert, erfahren Sie im Interview: https://www.wissenschaftskommunikation.de/psychologie-rein-ein-guter-text-raus-94249/
