James Brady+FollowShark Bros? Great Whites Break the RulesTurns out, great white sharks might not be the lone wolves we thought! Scientists tracked two tagged sharks, Simon and Jekyll, and found them migrating together up the Atlantic—totally unheard of for this species. Are they siblings, besties, or just breaking shark norms? Researchers are digging into their DNA to find out. This could totally change what we know about shark social lives. Who knew sharks had friendship goals? #Science #GreatWhiteSharks #SharkScience00Share
martinezlaura+FollowTrail cams just spotted a 'lost' mouse-deer!Wildlife nerds, you won’t believe this: researchers set up trail cameras in Vietnam and caught rare animals on film—including the adorable silver-backed chevrotain (aka Vietnamese mouse-deer), which was thought extinct for decades! They also snapped the elusive gaur and the world’s rarest pheasant. These hidden cameras are changing the game for conservation, revealing creatures we barely knew existed. Who knew a camera could bring back ‘lost’ species? #Science #WildlifeWednesday #NatureNerd10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowMassive marine die-off hits Aussie beachesThousands of dead sea creatures are washing up on South Australian beaches, and it’s honestly wild. Crews are hauling away almost 450 pounds of dead marine life every day, all thanks to a toxic algal bloom that’s spread over 1,700 square miles. The bloom isn’t dangerous to humans, but it’s creating nasty sea foam and killing off nearly 480 species. Locals are heartbroken, and scientists say climate change is making these disasters more common. The government’s throwing millions at cleanup, but the real fix? Tackling rising ocean temps for good. #Science #ClimateChange #MarineLife00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowEarth 2.0? Nearby Planet Might Be HabitableScientists just found that TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized planet only 40 light-years away, could actually have an atmosphere similar to ours! Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, there’s now real hope this world could support liquid water—and maybe even life. The planet sits in the Goldilocks Zone, so if it has a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, it could be a prime spot for alien life. More telescope data is coming soon, so stay tuned for updates! #Science #SpaceNews #TRAPPIST1e00Share
James Brady+FollowMussels Are Hiding a Shocking SecretYour favorite mussels might be serving up more than just flavor—they could be packed with invisible nanoplastics. Scientists found that these tiny plastic bits are everywhere in the ocean, especially where mussels are farmed. Since mussels filter water (and everything in it), we end up eating whatever they absorb. The real kicker? These plastics can mix with other pollutants, creating a toxic 'cocktail-effect.' But there’s hope: new tech and simple swaps at home can help cut down plastic pollution. Would you still eat mussels after knowing this? #Science #PlasticPollution #OceanHealth00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowCells Don’t Just Flip On or Off—They Dim!Turns out, our cells are way more complex than we thought. MIT scientists just discovered that gene expression isn’t just an on/off switch—it’s more like a dimmer, with tons of settings in between. This means cells can “remember” their identity at any level, not just all or nothing. Imagine all the hidden cell types we might have! This could totally change how we think about diseases and even designing new tissues. Mind blown! #Science #ScienceNews #Biology00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDinosaurs’ Last Summer Was WildImagine T. rex hunting under palm trees in Antarctica and Triceratops munching on the world’s first flowers—Earth’s last Cretaceous summer was a total paradise! Dinosaurs were at their peak, with lush jungles, no ice caps, and crazy-warm temps. But while everything looked perfect, disaster was brewing: a giant asteroid was about to crash the party and wipe out almost everything. It’s wild to think the world was at its best right before it all ended in a flash. Nature’s ultimate plot twist! #Science #Dinosaurs #Cretaceous00Share
martinezlaura+FollowOld Magnets, New Magic: Scientists Crack RecyclingTurns out your old magnets could be the secret to powering the future! Scientists at Kyoto University just pulled off a major breakthrough: they figured out how to recycle rare earth metals from used magnets using a new, eco-friendly process. This means cleaner, cheaper materials for things like EVs and wind turbines—without all the messy mining. If recycling was this high-tech and good for the planet, would you be more likely to dig out your old electronics? #Science #ScienceWin #RecyclingRevolution10Share
megangibson+FollowElectric Pangolin Is Real?!You will NOT believe what scientists just found in the Congo: an electric pangolin! This wild creature can actually generate and store electricity in its scales, zapping out 50 volts to scare off predators. It’s the first time a mammal has been found with this kind of superpower. Researchers are freaking out over what this means for evolution—and the tech world is already eyeing its bio-batteries. Is this the most shocking animal discovery of the century or what?! #Science #ElectricPangolin #WildlifeDiscovery00Share
megangibson+FollowMediterranean Sea's Lionfish Takeover?!The Mediterranean Sea is heating up—literally—and now tropical species like lionfish are invading big time. Locals used to spot a couple per dive, but now it’s 15 or more! These invasive fish have no natural predators and are outcompeting native species, throwing the whole ecosystem off balance. Scientists say this chain reaction could hurt both marine life and people. Protecting native species and supporting marine reserves isn’t just good for fish—it’s good for us too! #Science #MediterraneanSea #Lionfish00Share
