If you could sit on this bench for one hour with any person from any era, who would you want it to be?

@ScienceMagazine How adorable.

It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported in 2023. Learn more during #AmphibianWeek: scim.ag/3Dy8Bac

@karolineleavitt Karoline deserved this blessing.

On May 1st, Viviana aka “Vivi” joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love. 💕 She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister. We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble. Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy - I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good.🙏

@Rainmaker1973 Donkeys are amazing.

Every creature needs a hug, sometimes

@elonmusk Epic

😂

@MarsUniversityX We raise an unknown intelligence.

Elon Musk: "The reality is we’re building super-intelligent AI, hyper-intelligent, more intelligent than we can comprehend It’s like raising a super-genius child that you know is going to be much smarter than you You can instill good values in how you raise that child: philanthropic values, good morals, honest, productive Controlling it at the end of the day I don't think we'll be able to The best we can do is make sure it's raised well"

@NobelPrize Life is service. This service is joy only for chosen ones.

"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy." Literature laureate Rabindranath Tagore dedicated his life to poetry, art and music, composing the Indian national anthem and the national anthem of Bangladesh.

@WhiteHouse Ted Turner was a real turner of media and education of people.

President Donald J. Trump on the passing of Ted Turner:

@NobelPrize True.

”Failure is really important. Experiments don't have to succeed.” Medicine laureate Richard Roberts shares some of his best advice to young students about staying creative, being true to yourself and listening to nature – which can lead to discoveries. Roberts shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Phillip Sharp for their discoveries of split genes. Watch the full conversation: bit.ly/4izEe1q

@RightPulseNewss Nova America

DESCRIBE PRESIDENT TRUMP USING ONLY ONE WORD…

@FoxNews Marco Rubio is an extraordinary guy.

🚨Marco Rubio is taking on a different role at the White House — at least for today. The Secretary of State is set to take the podium in the White House Briefing Room and address reporters directly while Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave. Tune in for live coverage at 3pm ET.

@SmartScience It's only for the healthy and physically strong people.

Skipping breakfast can feel like a “superpower” because fasting keeps the body in a more alert state, boosting norepinephrine and reducing the sluggishness that often follows a meal. Many people notice sharper focus, clearer thinking, and steadier energy in the morning without blood sugar swings. It’s also a common part of intermittent fasting, which can encourage the body to burn stored fat for fuel. Over time, this routine may improve insulin sensitivity, meaning the body handles glucose more efficiently. In longer fasting windows, it may also activate autophagy, a cellular cleanup process linked to renewal and repair, as supported by research from the University of Auckland.

@NobelPrize How cool.

@XFreeze Well said.

Starship is the living proof that our reality can be bigger than our dreams

🐦 Did you know that birdwatching can literally rewire your brain? 🧠 Recent research shows that spending time observing birds boosts neuroplasticity, leading to measurable improvements in perception, attention, and cognitive performance — and may even help buffer against age-related decline. So grab some binoculars and let nature reshape your mind! 🌿

🧠 Did you know that playing a musical instrument does more than just teach you songs? Research shows that musical training strengthens communication between brain regions, boosts executive functions, attention, and working memory — for life. 🎵 This happens because repeated practice builds dense networks of neural connections through structured mental scaffolding. 📚 As reported in Frontiers in Psychology, musical training is one of the most effective activities for shaping the human brain. Whether you're 8 or 80, picking up an instrument supports long-term neuroplasticity and keeps your mind sharp.

🐧 Every year, a Magellanic penguin named Dindim swims nearly 5,000 miles just to reunite with the man who saved his life. In 2011, retired fisherman João Pereira de Souza found Dindim covered in oil and barely alive on a Brazilian beach. He cleaned him, fed him, and nursed him back to health — and though everyone expected the penguin to disappear forever, Dindim returned months later. ❤️ 🌊 Since then, this remarkable bond has only grown stronger. Dindim allows only João to touch and feed him — an incredibly rare connection between a wild animal and a human. Their story is a beautiful reminder that compassion knows no species, and love can travel any distance. 🐧💫

🌡️ Leading scientist James Hansen predicts that 2026 will become the hottest year on record, as an El Niño phase is expected to begin in the second half of the year, driving extreme heat across much of the globe and surpassing 2024's record. 🔥🌍

⚡ Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors and visionaries in history. A brilliant engineer and physicist, he developed the modern alternating current (AC) electrical system, invented the Tesla coil, and laid the foundation for wireless communication and radio technology. His groundbreaking ideas still power our world today. 🌍 🧠 Despite his genius, Tesla suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a psychiatric disorder. He was compelled to do everything in threes, became obsessed with pigeons in his later years, and had a strong aversion to women wearing earrings and pearls. Even a genius mind can carry its own battles. 💡
