Looking forward to interviewing her personally!

Hey, looking for a flatmate (any gender) in Ramamurthy nagar, 10min from Baiyappanahalli metro.
It’s a spacious 2BHK, new building & rent’s 20K. No pets allowed :(
If interested, I’d be happy to share a video & other deets.

I recently covered a story about an Earth-sized exoplanet wrapped in a life-sustaining magnetic field just like our planet.
And this sent me down a rabbit hole of how Earth’s magnetic field protects us from the Sun’s temper tantrums.
Thought I’d share it with y’all👇🏼

Space weather forecasters were anticipating a relatively docile G2-class

on Mar 23-24.
But what struck Earth was a severe G4-class storm, the strongest in nearly 6 years!

As an adult, I've really come to appreciate the effectiveness and simplicity of the excuse "something came up".
It's so handy while cancelling plans, nobody ever questions it and it also makes it seem like you have something important to do.

The mid-1800s saw a rise in demand for animal-derived materials as they were becoming increasingly scarce.
Elephants faced extinction, their ivory being used in piano keys, billiard balls, etc. A similar fate awaited the turtles, whose shells were being exploited for combs.

As for where Earth’s magnetic field comes from, the answer lies deep in our planet’s core.
Earth’s outer core consists of liquid metal — and the fluid motion of these metals generates an electric current.
The fluid motion is made possible by convection & buoyancy.

Had our core been solid, as is the case with Mars & Venus, the dynamo effect would’ve been arrested. And we would be rendered defenceless against the Sun’s wrath.
So if you had been taking our planet’s magnetic field for granted like me, I hope this helped!

New York is sinking under the weight of its own buildings, say geologists.
The very skyscrapers responsible for NYC’s beautiful skyline are dragging it down — quite literally — at the rate of 1-2 mm per year!

When Earth spins on its axis, the rotating, convecting and electrically conducting fluid creates a magnetic field that extends around the planet.
This entire process is called the dynamo effect.

The Sun is constantly bombarding our planet with solar winds and coronal mass ejections. And yet, we remain largely untouched.
We have the Earth’s magnetic field to thank.
It is 3.5 billion years old and has been protecting the planet from cosmic radiation all this while.

In fact, when solar winds get turbulent and wreak havoc on the magnetic fields, it results in geomagnetic storms that can disrupt navigation systems, power grids & disturb spacecraft.
A more pleasant outcome of these storms is the

this week are Florida’s ‘cocaine sharks’.
Reports of sharks behaving 'strangely' have surfaced recently & it might have to do with the cocaine bales floating off Florida's coast.

It was the first fully synthetic material or
#plastic
created with formaldehyde & phenol.
But what Leo and the inventors before him could not have guessed was that by spurring a revolution in plastic production, they were inadvertently getting their hands bloody.

Today, plastics are the objects of most environmentalists' most horrifying nightmares. But it was never intended to be that. If anything, scientists created it as a part of a solution.
Yep, the irony is not lost on me.

Modern humans’ ability to manufacture synthetic material has always given us cognitive advantage over other animals.
So imagine our surprise when we discovered that a ‘primitive’ species was way ahead of us in the thinking game.

Only 6.35 acres of the lake’s 10.35 acres will be restored, leaving 4 acres for civic amenities. Nearly 3 acres of that land will be used to build a private school.
And then we wonder why there’s waterlogging in

Hidden chapter of the Bible just dropped.

In no time, this had turned into an environmental & economic crisis. And inventors scrambled to find new semi-synthetic alternatives using natural products like cork, blood & milk.

Archaeologists first chanced upon tar-covered stones and black lumps in known Neanderthal sites across Europe roughly 2 decades ago.
Putting two and two together, they figured that the early humans used this material for hafting — attaching a bone/stone to a handle/strap.
