Are you going to see the eclipse next week? Ill be there! …somewhere traffic permits 😜 Next up: debunking claims about the sun boiling water in your retina 👀 #science #stem #eclipse #solareclipse2024

Replying to @lilith Are you going to see the eclipse next week? I was going to be thee… but then my ride canceled 😞 (note: when the sun is close to the horizon, the blue light is scattered out, making it much safer to look at) Next up: debunking claims about the sun boiling water in your retina 👀 #s#sciences#steme#eclipsesolareclipse2024

Replying to @L Wells and do NOT just use sunglasses! The real reseaech rabbit hole I’ve been going down is in calculating the precise amount of light that will hit your retina at different parts of the eclipse, and what type of damage that might cause. Video coming soon! (Im pretty sure some “experts” have been getting this wrong) #science #eclipse #solareclipse

Maybe the spice actually contains some normally unstable compound found on the far end of the periodic table, produced by fusion in the bellies of worms and made stable through unknown processes? Unununuwormium? For written transcripts of all my videos–including all sources–sign up for my newsletter! (Sometimes they’ll include extra fun bits that i had to cut for brevity) #STEM #science #dune #dunemovie How do Dune sandworms eat and move?

The problem with saying “these can’t exist” based on what we know about EARTH’s biology is that… Dune isn’t earth. Maybe there exists some form of silicon nanotube structure that we haven’t discovered yet that form most of the worm’s bones- more on why that would make sense in the next video! Sources: The essay by Sibylle Hechtel was part of the fascinating book “The Science of Dune,” edited by Kevin R. Grazier, PhD (2007). I’d highly recommend it for all you true nerds! Shoutout to @realscience on the tubes who’s got an amazing 10 minute video on this topic. (I modified a few of her images for use here) We have a few different conclusions, but she does an amazing job! Also, Ashley @modernday_eratosthenes is great! I just take a more optimistic view on thins 😉 #STEM #science #dune #dunemovie

So… why do people hate watching movies with YOU? 😉 Put your Movie Science questions down below! #science #stem #edutok #incredibles #moviescience

If you use a solar filter, you can and should use whatever optical zoom your phone has built in. #eclipse #solareclipse #photography

I’ve been doing it wrong. You’ve been doing it wrong. WE”VE ALL BEEN DOING IT WRONG!! 📚 STUDY: DOI: 10.3.14159/j.ajcnut.2024.04.01 #science #lifetips #lifehacks #avocado #eggs #prank #toast #health #nutrition

Replying to @mlehm1 ⚠️ WARNING: The sun has to be VERY low to the horizon for there to be almost no danger! A good quote from one of the below research papers is: “**once the total irradianee falls below 3 mW/cm2 (corresponding to an elevation angle of less than 5° at sunset in relatively clear weather), most people find it reasonably comfortable to look at a sunset which Iasts for Iess than 10 minutes)** 📚References DOI: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2006.06.009 DOI: 10.1038/eye.2010.149 PMID: 11157889 For a great video on the more technical aspects of Rayleigh Scattering, check out @ScienceAsylum on YT! #science #eclipse #solareclipse #edutok

A leafy pleasure with a purpose! Repeat after me: “Sniff, roll, and repel!” I am DEFINITELY going to start using this… And chaos shall reign… 😈 📚 Sources: DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abd9135 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aba0721 DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2017.06.008 PMID: 17423611 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2915.2009.00809.x PMID: 30728370 #science #edutok #stem #catnip #cats #creatorsearchinsights

Redone with better audio! Who’s going to sew the totality?? #eclipse #science #solareclipse

If you think that you are 100% ok eating close to bedtime… be careful of making that claim until you’ve actually experimented with shifting things earlier! 😉 That being said, this is only one of many levers. If you’re doing ok with your health and sleep while eating close to bed, congratulations! The body is great at adapting. But if you’re having problems, this is definitely an intervention to play around with. NOTE: This is NOT a sponsored post! But I did get a free copy of the book, because @Dr Idz (MBBS, MRes, Dip IBLM) is awesome and I wanted to help more people hear about it. Even though the book is short, it took me quite a while to get thorough it because i have the bad habit of pausing to look up every study that sounds cool. And he mentions a LOT of studies 😃🤓 The best place to get it might be Waterstones, but there does also seem to be amazonability. I’ll put the relevant 🔗’s on my page. 📚 Studies referenced in this video: DOI 10.1210/clinem/dgaa354 DOI: 10.1152/ajpregu.00115.2012 DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/nqab323 #science #health #sleep #weightloss #nutrition #stem #edutok #BookTok

#stitch with @Zach Atherton the real question is… what does this mean for superman 🤔 #science #edutok #sciencesnippets
