- 1Gabriela González and Hank Green to lead museum fall science talks▼Blinding us with science: Gabriela González and Hank Green lead fall talks at Natural History Museum
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has lined up Gabriela González and Hank Green to headline its fall lecture series. González, a physicist known for her work on gravitational wave detection, and Green, a science communicator, will lead a season of talks aimed at bringing current scientific research to a general audience.
- 2New fix proposed for telescopes' blind spots to map universe●Even the best telescopes have blind spots. This fix can help us build better maps of the universe https:// theconversati
A new article argues that even the most powerful telescopes have blind spots that limit our maps of the universe, and describes a proposed fix that could help astronomers chart cosmic structures more accurately. Science communicators are sharing the piece widely, with readers discussing how correcting these observational gaps could improve our understanding of the universe's large-scale structure.
- 3Lessons from Developing Internet Protocols Examined▼Leveraging Lessons Learned Developing Internet Protocols
Communications of the ACM has published a piece reflecting on lessons learned from developing internet protocols. The article draws on decades of experience designing the standards that underpin global network communication, offering insight for engineers working on next-generation protocols. It is drawing attention from the networking and computer science community.
- 4Physicist Highlights Strange Reflection Behavior in Nonlinear Amplifier●This clearly looks like everything is under control o.O So this is the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier u
A physicist has shared a plot showing the reflection coefficient of a nonlinear amplifier under a large incident signal, plotted as a function of phase, noting that the behavior looks far from tame. The reaction, even from the researcher, is that the system's response is strikingly complicated. The point being made is that beyond leading-order effects, there is still much to learn and understand about how such amplifiers behave at high signal levels.
- 5Science writers gather at Oregon State for SciWri26 conference▼Hundreds of science communicators explore OSU research during SciWri26 conference
Hundreds of science communicators are visiting Oregon State University as part of the SciWri26 conference, exploring the institution's research programs. The event gives science writers, journalists and communicators a first-hand look at work underway at OSU and offers a chance to exchange ideas about how research is reported and explained to the public.

Scrub jays do far more than recall where they buried food: they remember what they cached and when, and retrieve perishable items first before they spoil. The finding, explained in a new Beaks & Bones article, highlights the birds' remarkably sophisticated memory and is drawing attention among science communication readers.

A science education community is gathering feedback on how science is taught and communicated. The topic is circulating among educators, parents and science communicators who are weighing in on curriculum quality and public engagement with science. Details on who is collecting the input and what will change as a result have not been made clear.
