What if AI could solve ecological crises and navigate parallel realities? 🤖🌍 Season 2 of @paradiseonhulu is finally complete! #ParadiseHulu #AI #QuantumComputing

What if alien life is nothing like we expect? New research shows microbes could thrive without liquid water! Discover the surprising possibilities of extraterrestrial life. @projecthailmary ow.ly/rqXr50YA0VM #Astrobiology #Science

Having surgery is uncomfortable to say the least. What if instead of a scalpel, your problem could be solved by swallowing a magnetic blob? With an external magnet, says Dr. Li Zhang, his slime creation could be controlled like a robot hand by a surgeon: bit.ly/44tPAhg

A leading Berkeley psychologist says we may be thinking about AI the wrong way. Instead of treating it as something that could replace the human mind, she suggests understanding it as a cultural #technology built from all of us. That reframing changes what’s actually at risk. At a recent LA gathering, @AlisonGopnik, known for her TED Talk, offered a different frame. Supported by @templeton_fdn and @SciEntExchange. • AI is closer to printing than a brain • The real risk is how we govern it If we tell the wrong story about AI, we prepare for the wrong future. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #TechCulture @TEDTalks ↓

Meet the leaf sheep sea slug! This tiny creature can photosynthesize by stealing chloroplasts from algae, like the Astrophage in @projecthailmary! Discover how these amazing adaptations highlight the wonders of evolution in our oceans. #ProjectHailMary ow.ly/Z9N450Yxq4g

What if microorganisms could consume solar energy? @projecthailmary explores this and more. What scientific concepts do you find most fascinating in sci-fi? #ProjectHailMary #ScienceConnection #TheExchange

How do you casually steal $500,000,000 in gold… at 40,000 ft in mid-air? We connected aviation engineer Jeff Newcamp with the team at Lift to consult on the film. Reach out to us if you are looking for science help with a project! #TheExchange #LiftMovie @netflix

The film "Her" challenges us to think about the future of AI and our emotional connections. What are your thoughts on human-computer relationships? #Her #AI #ScienceConnection

What an amazing tour. Thank you @alsae_f for the opportunity!

Behind every great show like Mayor of @kingstown is a wealth of expertise! We connected Mario Cortez, consultant specializing in SWAT and crime suppression to the writing team. #SWAT #TheExchange

@MartianMovie reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit! Would you go to Mars given the chance? 🚀#TheMartian #ScienceInFilm #Watchlist #SciFiMovies #SpaceExploration #STEM #MovieNight #FilmCommunity #ScienceAndEntertainment #MarsMission #Inspiration #ScienceConsulting

We're excited to highlight the consultation we facilitated with the makers of @Disney's Frozen. We connected them with climate expert Thomas Wagner. #Frozen #TheExchange #scicomm

We had such a great time with @labxnas at @dynastytypewriter for Wrong Answers Only sponsored by @wellcometrust. Thank you to all of our panelists and our speaker ER doctor Cecilia Sorensen of @columbiamsph. What do these photos have in common? 😂#climate #health

The Physics of Imagination Caltech physicist @RanaXAdhikari told a room of Hollywood writers, directors, producers, and studio executives that some of his biggest breakthroughs didn’t start with equations — they started with stories. From Star Trek plotlines that sparked real research to visual-effects teams creating spectacular black hole imagery for Interstellar… imagination isn’t the opposite of science, it’s the engine behind it.
