Ok but how cute are our interns?
It's #NationalSelfieDay, and we couldn't resist the photo op with some of the newest faces in our D.C. office. Thanks to AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh for spending some time with a few of our awesome summer interns!

“Science must be bipartisan,” AAAS CEO @sudipsparikh told @AP's @maddieburakoff. “The causes of Alzheimer’s are the same whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat. The fusion that goes on in the sun is the same whether you live in Topeka or you live in San Francisco.”
Trust in science dropped among U.S. adults in 2022, a major survey shows. The trend was driven by a partisan gap that emerged during the pandemic. Trust continued to drop among Republicans while returning to pre-COVID levels among Democrats.

“I give up” is a phrase that never crossed the minds of the team who developed @NASAWebb. AAAS’ inaugural Bhaumik Breakthrough of the Year Award honors 3 individuals who supported the JWST community and whose persistence amid multiple setbacks ensured the mission’s completion.

In 2022, @ScienceMagazine named the launch of @NASAWebb as its Breakthrough of the Year. Last night, we honored the NASA individuals who supported this highly complex project for large swaths of the JWST community with the inaugural Mani L. Bhaumik Breakthrough of the Year Award.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my....but what about the rest of the animals at the zoo? My latest for @DiscoverMag
discovermagazine.com
While lions and giant pandas typically steal the show, keystone and indicator species like tiny frogs are also worth a look at the zoo.

Once, just once, I asked a woman at the airport to watch my carry on instead of hauling it into a bathroom stall with me and she said no. I think about her daily.

The stock market really needs to recover so I can stop trying to remember all the terms from my one Econ class in high school.
