It’s a rough time to be a scientist. Emotion goes viral. Evidence gets buried. I’m a PhD chemist. Human. I’m tired of pretending risk and hazard are the same thing. If you value data over drama, you’re in the right place. Drop a “Hi” if you’re human too.

40-50% of the nitrogen atoms in the human body ultimately come from synthetic nitrogen fertilisers (produced via the Haber-Bosch process).

@TRUMP_ARMY_ They weren’t effective.

🚨 BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drops the ultimate truth bomb on the COVID era: "They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine… because if they had acknowledged that it was effective in anybody, the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed."

“Natural” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

@DawnsMission This is not the win you think it is.

HUGE WIN FOR PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY! U.S. CANCELS mRNA VACCINE DEVELOPMENT HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just terminated $500M in federal funding for 22 BARDA projects on COVID, flu & more — because “mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses.” Shifting to safer, better platforms instead. No new mRNA shots! Finally putting people first! 🇺🇸

Genetic engineering is one of the greatest achievements in human history. Period.

@CuriosityonX Wait until RFK finds out there is RNA in space.

@SlimSmith348163 Yes.

@simonmaechling I'm sure Neil was being facetious.

Pasteurisation.

@Diver_Flemming Not at all.

@simonmaechling I think you missed the ironi 😉

@tomscott99 🤣 yes it was.

They told you chemicals are the problem. This image tells a different story. Every square = an element. Every element = a tool. Every tool = progress. ⚡ Lithium → batteries 🌱 Nitrogen → food for billions 📱 Silicon → your entire digital life 🩺 Technetium → medical imaging No “chemicals” → no civilization. The irony? The same people who fear “chemicals” live surrounded by them depend on them and are alive because of them. Everything is chemistry. The question is not what is natural but what works safely. Risk ≠ hazard. Dose matters. Evidence based decisions matter. We didn’t escape nature. We learned how to use it. And that’s why you’re here reading this.

@ErrantSun7 Hi

The French...the French are everywhere. 👋 hi

BREAKING🚨: ALL FIVE types of nucleic acid bases, the building blocks of LIFE 'DNA and RNA', have been found in samples collected from asteroid Ryugu

We didn’t get here by fearing science. We got here by using it.

“Eat real food.” Sounds simple. Reality isn’t. Our ancestors ate “real food.” They also died at 30. No vaccines. No antibiotics. No crop protection. No food preservation. “Natural” didn’t make them healthy. Science did.

Activists are always inventing new anti-chemical scares. One of their more creative (to be generous) attempts was to claim that trace exposure to pesticides "cancels" the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables. It's nonsense all the way down. Here's why.🧵

@stats_feed Imagine being scared of A, C, T & G.

8% of human DNA is made from viruses. Human DNA is basically a giant archive of ancient infections

@CaryKelly11 You think academia does GLP?

@simonmaechling Good Laboratory Practice. They are doing such a fine job Simon!

In this review of 75 statin studies, every single industry funded study found favorable results. EVERY. SINGLE. STUDY. 37% of independent studies found unfavorable results. So, if someone tells you that the majority of science supports statin therapy, remember that the income of scientists often depends on their scientific outcome.

I want clean water. I want abundant food. I want a stable climate. I want a habitable planet. Good. That’s exactly what science and technology are for.
