Patrick Simmons+FollowMSU’s plant rescue squad is changing campusInvasive plants like kudzu and cinnamon vine aren’t just a southern problem—right here at Michigan State, they’re threatening our local woodlots and bird sanctuaries. Carolyn Miller, a grad student with a passion for native species, rallied students and staff to take action. Now, regular teams are out there pulling invasives and planting native flowers, making the campus greener and more resilient. This kind of grassroots effort isn’t just good for the environment—it builds community and saves time and money on yard work, too. Would you join a neighborhood crew to restore local nature? #Science #MSU #InvasiveSpecies10Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAncient Tunnels No One Can ExplainScientists just found wild underground tunnels on two continents—and no, they weren’t made by humans or rivers. In Africa and the Middle East, there are microscopic tunnels in solid rock that hint at a totally unknown lifeform. Meanwhile, in South America, you can literally walk through massive caverns dug by giant prehistoric sloths and armadillos. Both discoveries are rewriting what we know about life shaping the planet from the inside out. Who (or what) made these tunnels? The mystery is still wide open! #Science #AncientMystery #ScienceNews20Share

Tamara Jones+FollowColorado’s pine beetle battle heats upColorado’s forests are facing a serious threat as pine beetles spread from the Western Slope toward the Front Range, putting more trees—and our wildfire risk—on the line. The state just launched a dedicated task force to tackle the problem, and CU Boulder’s Dr. Sammy Ramsey says the beetles’ relationship with our pines goes back thousands of years, but climate shifts are tipping the scales in the beetles’ favor. If you’ve noticed more dead trees or worried about fire season, you’re not alone. What steps do you think our communities should take to protect our forests? #Science #ColoradoForests #PineBeetle00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowNorthern lights set to dazzle Ohio skiesTonight’s sky over Ohio could be unforgettable—thanks to a rare solar flare, the northern lights might be visible as far south as our neighborhoods! The best window to catch this colorful show is between 1 and 4 a.m., so set those alarms if you’re up for some stargazing. Even your phone can snap great photos—just boost your night mode to 10 seconds, or 30 if you’ve got a tripod. It’s not every day we get a chance to see the aurora this far south. Who’s staying up to watch? Share your tips and photos below! #Science #NorthernLights #Ohio00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowNASA Just Found a 'Failed Galaxy'?!Astronomers just spotted something wild: Cloud-9, a massive cloud of hydrogen gas with zero stars, held together by dark matter. It’s not a galaxy, not a regular gas cloud—it's a whole new type of cosmic object! Scientists are calling it a 'failed galaxy' because it never managed to form stars. The craziest part? It’s basically a dark matter playground, giving researchers a rare peek into the mysterious 'dark universe.' Space just got a whole lot weirder! #Science #NASA #SpaceDiscovery11Share
Tamara Jones+FollowScientists Spill the Tea on Climate HypeDid you know nearly 40% of climate scientists now question those doomsday climate headlines? Turns out, some experts say the most dramatic predictions get all the attention (and funding), while natural climate factors and real-world solutions get sidelined. From Dutch flood defenses to wild new tech, there’s a growing push for practical fixes over panic. Maybe it’s time we listened to the quieter voices in the room? #Science #ClimateScience #ScienceDebate10Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowWait, Were There Two Human Species in Eurasia?Turns out, our human family tree just got a lot messier! Scientists found ancient fossils in Georgia that suggest not one, but TWO different human species left Africa nearly 2 million years ago. The teeth don’t lie—some look more like early humans, others more primitive. This totally shakes up what we learned in school about Homo erectus being the OG explorer. Imagine multiple human cousins wandering the world together! Are we ready to rewrite the story of where we came from? #Science #HumanEvolution #FossilFinds21Share
James Brady+FollowSpace Station Viruses Got a Superpower UpgradeTurns out, sending viruses to space makes them come back stronger! Scientists sent bacteria and their viral enemies (phages) to the ISS, and the zero-gravity battle made the viruses mutate in wild ways. When they returned to Earth, these space-adapted phages were even better at killing tough bacteria—like the ones behind stubborn UTIs. Could space be the secret weapon against antibiotic resistance? Science fiction vibes, but it’s real! #Science #SpaceScience #AntibioticResistance20Share
Michelle York+FollowA Virus in Your DNA?! Ancient Herpes HackTurns out, some viruses didn’t just make us sick—they moved in for good. Scientists just found 2,500-year-old herpesvirus DNA literally fused into ancient human chromosomes. This viral hitchhiker, which still infects almost every kid today, has been quietly shaping our evolution, immunity, and even embryo development for millennia. Our genes are basically a living museum of ancient pandemics, and some of that viral DNA is now essential for life. Wild, right? #Science #ScienceFacts #AncientDNA80Share
