We've landed on, descended into the atmosphere, or crashed into all of the planets except two - Uranus and Neptune. Scientists simulate what it would be like to visit these two windy and cold ice giants! space.com/falling-into-u…

A new method using a mashup of #datascience and #astronomy is helping astronomers correlate objects from different telescopes, wavelengths, and time. My latest on Space.com. space.com/space-discover…

What's happening with the volcanoes and earthquakes in @Iceland, and why it may mark a period of centuries of volcanic activity. My latest in Big Think bigthink.com/hard-science/i…

Halloween is also international #DarkMatterDay ! In Latin America, it is celebrated with puzzles, Marvel Superheroes (and their apparent tie to dark matter), and dark matter ice cream! Find out more in my article in symmetry magazine. symmetrymagazine.org/article/celebr…

I was so happy to receive the second place in the journalism category for the annual Science Communicators of North Carolina awards and stand among some truly impressive competition. Thanks Science Communicators of North Carolina!

It's important to share science with your children - even for people of faith. If you are unsure on how to do this, perhaps take a look at a letter I wrote to my own children on the topic on BioLogos. biologos.org/articles/a-let…

Minerals and rocks come in a dazzling array of colors. But what you may not know is that these colors demonstrate how light acts as both a wave and a particle. I talk about what makes the colors of rocks so fascinating in Big Think.

#Quantumphysics is happening everywhere within the biological world - from bird's eyes to your DNA to even what's happening within your nose! I explore quantum entanglement, tunneling, and other phenomenon in my latest in Big Think. bigthink.com/life/quantum-p…

Scientists recently found that what happens in a leaf is similar to a Bose-Einstein Condensate (which we normally see at very low temperatures). This happens on a normal spring day, and shows us how nature still can surprise us!

This absolutely boggles my mind! Six million years ago, the Mediterranean was dried up. Then, in what is possibly the world's largest flood, it was refilled again in as little as a few months to a couple of years! I talk about it in the Big Think. bigthink.com/hard-science/w…

What would happen if we discovered an asteroid heading to Earth? What if it wasn't a single rock, but a 'pile' of rocks? These 'rubble pile' asteroids might be tougher than we originally thought. My latest on Big Think

How can you predict events that are ultra-rare but devastating, like a massive earthquake, rogue wave, or bridge collapse? By using #AI and #machinelearning ! Scientists at #MIT show how. bigthink.com/the-future/mit…

Space travel will change our spirituality, our religion, our myths, and how we see ourselves as human. I explore these ideas in my latest article on Big Think. bigthink.com/the-future/spa…

Are we alone in the Universe? Should we try to send a message to whoever may be listening - or is that a really bad idea? My latest in Big Think. bigthink.com/hard-science/s…

When battles raged in ancient cities, their rocks blazed so brightly that they could be reoriented according to Earth's magnetic field. bit.ly/3B5mZlE

Our brains may use quantum entanglement - this could help to explain why our brains still outperform supercomputers in certain areas, and may also help to shed light on the mysteries of consciousness. My latest in Big Think. bigthink.com/hard-science/b…

Macroscopic objects have been put in #entanglement . What's the limit? What would happen if you could put a person in entanglement? Asking these questions could give us an insight into quantum mechanics and the nature of reality. I discuss on Big Think

In my second article about #quantumentanglement in Big Think , I discuss how entanglement can be used in quantum #communications , and how it may revolutionize technology. bigthink.com/the-future/qua…
