The U.S. has long lagged behind other wealthy countries in reducing its stillbirth rate.

Now a new five-year, $37 million NIH consortium will prioritize this public health issue. “There’s no question that the ProPublica reporting was intimately tied to this,” one expert said.

A seven-meter megalosaurid named Joaquinraptor casani was described this week by Lucio M. Ibiricu and his colleagues. Apart from consisting of one of the most complete megalosaurid skeletons, we also know what it was feeding on! A truly impressive discovery.

So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.

Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.

Who knew that the American public overwhelmingly likes science? (The previous sentence was pure sarcasm on my part)

Last evening I derived the "quantum correlation" for the two channel optical Bell experiment, right here on my Mastodon account. But I did so WITHOUT quantum mechanics, and I did so in a way that makes it clear there is only classical Newtonian motion.

Go see it for yourself: https://masto.ai/@chemoelectric/115805620208576148

It is not a "quantum" anything. It is the ordinary correlation function for ordinary behavior. Yet "Physics" and "Science" channels will go on announcing MAGIC.

TFW you get to use a 1950s survey scope to pin azimuth for true north on an incoming Sundial.

A bit of fun, this Wild Heerbrug T3 (yes, that's its name) #canada government scope was donated to #yorkuniversity in 1980s, when the original York Sundial still existed.

Now we're getting a BIG Sundial and using a bit of the 50s from the 80s to align azimuth.

The location is awesomely aligned with @AllanICarswellObservatory for likely obvious reasons 😀 #astronomy #Astrodon #science #sundialsunday

A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.
