Science really is a joy! At least occasionally, which is what keeps scientists coming back for more despite all the frustrations: Juliane Gross, curation lead of the Artemis Internal Science Team, right, and Debra Needham, with the NASA Science Mission Directorate, during the lunar flyby on Monday.

There is always something amazing in the world

A famous Cambodian mine-clearing rat, who was awarded a gold medal for his heroism, has been commemorated with a statue. Using his acute sense of smell to detect a chemical compound within explosives, Magawa would then alert human handlers of mines. 🧪🐀💥🏅 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An amazing analogy from @valentatormenta.bsky.social

Former ISSCR President @valentatormenta.bsky.social reflects on how discovery, like imaging cells, requires multiple perspectives to reveal what’s otherwise hidden in her new piece published in Science Politics. sciencepolitics.org/2026/03/23/w... @yalepress.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social

This is a remarkable achievement - congrats to all involved!
