Did you know you're made of material from stars? ✨ It's true! Many of the atoms in your body formed in other stars. This is one of the most fascinating discoveries science has ever made. 🔗Here are the details: kids.alma.cl/en/did-life-ori…

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

One of the most inspiring moments in human history NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong’s words echoed across the world #OTD in 1969 as he became the first person to set foot on the surface of the Moon. The culmination of years of united effort, the Apollo 11 Moon landing remains a testament to our capacity to do hard things.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.
