🍝 Happy National Pasta Day! You know we couldn't let this one go by without a little chemistry. Potatoes, beans, or cheese? 🧀 Which ingredient makes the best gnocchi? Watch the full episode: ow.ly/70eb50ZYyGn

The strangest machinery is sometimes hiding in plain sight. Swipe through, then tell us which finding you’ll be bringing up at dinner. #FridayFindings #ScienceNews #PNAS #PNASNexus #ScienceCommunication

Science communicators spend a lot of time trying to get people to engage with their content. We wrote about why comment sections might be one of the most overlooked spaces for science communication, and how to participate without a science lesson. ow.ly/qrre50ZY9Yi

A 50-million-year-old identity crisis, your gut's relationship with your brain, and a cosmic demolition derby. 🐊🧠🪐 Just another perfectly normal week in science. Which one surprised you the most? 👀 #FridayFindings #LabX #ScienceNews #ScienceCommunication #PNASNexus

Nothing is sitting as still as it looks. Swipe through for three new findings about movement in places we usually can’t see—then tell us which one surprised you most. #FridayFindings #ScienceNews #Microbiology #OceanScience #EarthScience

International Coffee Day experiment: make yourself a Vienna latte. ☕🧪 Espresso + milk + fluffy vanilla cream, with some coffee chemistry thrown in for good measure. Make it with us: ow.ly/lltN50ZSoa8 #InternationalCoffeeDay #CoffeeScience

Happy #InternationalCoffeeDay ☕🧪 Grind size, filtration, aroma — there’s a lot of chemistry between a coffee bean and your morning cup. Natasha, Matt & Robin put it to the test on Chemists in the Kitchen: ow.ly/vicL50ZSo4G

The Tree of Life is full of connections you probably wouldn’t guess from looks alone. Elephants + manatees. Falcons + parrots. Hidden butterfly species. And that’s just the start. Watch the full LabX series with Doug Soltis: ow.ly/Mpoi50ZSoNQ

This week in “the details change everything”: Tiny folds steer droplets. Age distribution reshapes a smoking statistic. Evolution meets a climate speed limit. Three new findings from PNAS and PNAS Nexus. Which one surprised you most?

Cocktail or chemistry experiment? Why not both. 🍹🧪 Our chemists are breaking down the science behind color-changing cocktails in a new Chemists in the Kitchen episode. Watch: ow.ly/xxWJ50ZR86j

Pokérus is one of Pokémon’s weirdest mechanics. But what can it teach us about how diseases spread? We teamed up with @adefgames to investigate. 🦠🎮 Watch: ow.ly/4sJt50ZQL1O

Science got delightfully specific this week. 🔬 Swipe through for three new findings from PNAS and PNAS Nexus. Which one are you bringing up at dinner? #FridayFindings #ScienceNews #PNAS #PNASNexus #ScienceCommunication #Research #MessengerRNA #TasteScience

This week in Friday Findings: 🍬 WWII sugar rationing + long-term health 🦠 A hidden weak spot in how bacteria build flagella 🚽 The physics behind a splash-free urinal Science remains undefeated at finding very specific problems to investigate. Sign up: ow.ly/304Y50ZLJpY

Big Bloomfall news 🌱🎲 Scryptid Games will publish our storybook TTRPG! Its twist? Between sessions, Solo Excursions turn observations from real-world nature into part of the game. More via @rascal_news: ow.ly/8FkT50ZLETQ

Pokérus is already one of Pokémon’s weirdest mechanics. But what happens when you use it to think about how diseases spread? Our first LabX × @adefgames investigation starts there. 🦠🎮 Watch: ow.ly/RRVt50ZISJf

A cocktail that changes color? 🍸🔵➡️🩷 We’re making a butterfly pea flower cocktail that puts chemistry right in your glass. #ChemistsInTheKitchen #CocktailChemistry #ColorChangingCocktail #ButterflyPea #FoodScience #Chemistry #Science

Why does the Tree of Life work so well on TikTok? Our latest Substack looks at how LabX worked with NAS member Doug Soltis to turn unexpected evolutionary connections into a short-form series designed around curiosity, not lectures. Read it here: ow.ly/nrX250ZFmQ4

We changed how we advertised our science videos on YouTube. At first, views went down. Then our Honeycomb Candy episode became the first Chemists in the Kitchen video to cross 1M views. Here’s what we learned about reach vs. real engagement: ow.ly/elHp50ZAawq

Dive deep into the science of color with us! See how molecular changes and light physics create vibrant hues. The full episode explaining the chemistry and physics is on YouTube! #ScienceExplained #Chemistry #Physics #ColorScience #YouTube
