Without scientists, who will grasp the complexities of environmental crises, advocate for evidence-based decisions, or even recognize the dangers in the first place?
But hey, who needs science when we can rely on gut feelings, political whims, or perhaps return to reading tea leaves?
And when disaster inevitably strikes, we can all feign surprise and pin the blame on a rogue scientist or, better yet, a convenient witch.
I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the infrastructure needed to attain the knowledge for these treatment plans bring intentionally dismantled

This fab animation by Tony Dunn shows the orbital patterns of Saturn's newfound moons.
There are a lot of them! But if you count every meter-scale object in Saturn's rings as a "moon," then Saturn really has...oh, about 10 quadrillion moons.

Things are a big mess around Saturn.
A new study has identified 128 more moons around the planet, bringing the total to 274. And a whole group of Saturn's moons seem to be shattered bits from a collision in the (astronomically) recent past.

A #Theory in #Science MUST be falsifiable aka it must be possible to proof it's wrong, if it's wrong. So every #Scientist has to live with being wrong. To be slightly less wrong than the ones before you is a big achievement - not only in science, but everywhere in life, actually.
What we call "being right" normally also just means "being slightly less wrong". Keep that in your mind. Always. Everywhere.

I'm absolutely fascinated by #science news like this.
Being somebody who works with the epithelial system (along with the musculoskeletal system), I'm not surprised that this kind of communication happens in our largest organ and its associated tissues. We are NOT machines! The mind-body split is a fiction!
I've known for years that connective tissue has a contractile quality and a communicative quality that is about as glacial in speed as they are describing this communication system for the epithelial tissues. I'm never surprised when science proves the things that my felt sense has known for decades because of what I do for a living.
I also came across an article a couple months ago that talked about our brain possibly using photons to communicate and create consciousness as well. That was amazing! That made sense to me.
What would we do without science? Science highlights the wonder of the world. Without wonder, who are we?
My thought after reading this article was, I'll bet the epithelial cells also communicate the *opposite* of pain. It's not like they laid these epithelial cells out in a nice, even, single layer and then gave them a relaxing massage. 
This sensor array alone is way beyond "Star Trek/Wars" . Especially wrapped in with the rest of SKA . Surely some answers will be found to questions we have yet to think of.

As the great authoritarian alignment continues in the #USA , nations that have collaborative work with various US Federal Level agencies need to protect their commitments and secure results.
In the fourth episode of the Climate Chronicles' first season, Becoming Human, Professor Dagomar Degroot explores how our hominin ancestors learned to cope with, and even exploit, the wildly fluctuating climate of the Pleistocene. He uses the extraordinary migration of a hominin species named Homo erectus to introduce the concept of resilience: a key but contested term that can help us understand our fate on a warming world.
