Peaking on February 28th in the Northern Hemisphere, six planets will all be visible from clear & dark night skies. In celebration of this planetary group project, Chandra is releasing three new planetary sonifications. Experience the data-driven sounds of Uranus:

Don't sleep on this!
In the Western Hemisphere? Step outside late tonight to see a "Blood Moon," aka lunar eclipse, as the Sun, Earth, and Moon align such that the Moon passes into Earth's shadow.
Totality begins at 2:26am ET (0626 UTC) March 14: go.nasa.gov/3DBukhn

🇺🇸🇲🇽🇮🇱 I've discovered a never-before proposed 2-state solution--place Israel between 2 states: Mexico and the United States. #UnitedStatesOfIsrael
ADVANTAGES:
▪️We could put a wall all the way around Israel to protect it from immigration invasions. Since American leadership won't build a wall for Americans, but will spare no expense for Israel, Israel and its wall would serve as a de facto wall for the US border. 2 birds, one shekel.
▪️Texas Governor Greg Abbott wouldn't have to travel half-way around the world to kiss the wall. Remember: the business of Israel is the business of Texas! Perfect synergy.
▪️Easier for American congressmen to make Aliyah.
▪️Israel would get the land from the river (Rio Grande) to the sea (the Gulf of Mexico)--just what it's always wanted.
▪️Israel would be closer to its drug and human-trafficking operations.
▪️American evengelical Christians, concentrated in the southern United States, would be closer to their greatest ally.
▪️Mexico's future next-president ✡️Claudia Sheinbaum could live in Israel and commute home from work on the weekends.
▪️Mexican Catholics would be new Christians for Israelis to spit on.
▪️Finally get some decent tacos and BBQ both in Israel.
DISADVANTAGES:
🔻Israel would be our neighbor.
🔻Fewer wars in the Middle East for American military contractors to profit off of.
🔻No more democracy in the Middle East.
🔻Fewer proxy wars with Russia in the Middle East.
🔻International relations with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries would improve.
🔻We wouldn't get to pay $Billions in bribes to various Middle Eastern countries to not attack Israel.
🔻All the businesses that fled the United States for Israel would be right back on our doorstep.
What do you think of my solution?

It is way beyond time to act to protect our whole planet from the dangers of #PFAS #foreverchemicals - why the continuing delay?? @ewg @DarkWatersMovie @MarkRuffalo @Taftlaw @YaleSPH @Lesscancer @GreenUmbrella #ExposureBook @Participant
Toxic PFAS have been detected in over 330 species, according to a new report from @ewg.
“It’s a shocking wake-up call that much more needs to be done," said @dqasci.

Amazing news out of Europe. Treating the “forever chemical” family of PFAS as the public health menace it is. We need the US @EPA to stop playing with our people’s health and do the same.

Afaik before the pandemic, there was only 1 lab in the world sampling novel SARS-like viruses from South China/SE Asia, synthesizing & engineering them, working with live viruses at BL2+3, with idea of adding cleavage sites to them.
The pandemic virus leaked in that lab's city.

Please compare this calm and reasoned thread from Alina Chan with the panicky meltdowns from the usual suspects who appointed themselves to police the boundaries of allowable scientific discussion on the Covid origins question. Real scientists are not afraid of the truth.

I think everyone in science knows that any statements by a researcher that their published paper is the last word on a subject, is “dispositive,” or cannot and should not be challenged, are profoundly unscientific and anti-science. Yet that’s where we are with Covid origins.

Let’s recap: 1/ In 2018, researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, U North Carolina, and @EcoHealth Alliance signal to the U.S. government they want to insert furin cleavage sites into SARS-like viruses—a feature that makes them much more infectious to humans.

Nicholas Wade: "In the three years or so since Covid-19 appeared, it has become increasingly clear, despite the protestations of virologists who do this kind of work, that the causative virus was probably the result of genetic manipulation in a lab."

Some preliminary comments from me, as a science journalist. First: This is serious business. These authors are claiming to have found fingerprints left in SARS-CoV-2 left by stitching together the parts that allegedly went to making it. If true...
