Fortune: "[RFK.Jr] called for an investigation into debunked claims of #vaccines causing #autism....[now]
"The study, out of China and published in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, is the latest to show a connection between diabetes during pregnancy, which affects up to 9% of U.S. pregnancies, and an increased risk not only of autism, but also other brain and nervous system problems."

Sign up to stay in touch with the latest STEM and environmental events and opportunities in the Hunter and Central Coast Regions with the monthly newsletter enviroBYTES. The May issue listed over 80 events including forums on Biochar, the Hunter Estuary, and the Blue Economy, and a Tiny Forest Planting Day. There was also youth and grant opportunities, and lots of citizen science projects celebrating citizen science month. #STEM mailchi.mp/ed89a5d58519/enviro

We're close to when I hold my annual all femme+queer founded, run and centered electronics camp!

My camp brings in folks who are usually too intimidated by "technical" things and teaches them they are more than capable of soldering, understanding LEDs, and much more.

For our first three years this entire camp ran because I pumped a ton of what I made at my first tech job into it.

I don't have that job now.

We are halfway to our goal! ✨💖✨ Help us out!

A few images from yesterdays first #HoloDeck presentation at Prof. Varshneys #lab at the #Indian Institute of #Science (#IISc) in #Bangalore (#India), where people enjoyed 'playing molecules'.

Holodeck, also known as the Rechenkraft.net #Molecular #AR Environment is our #OpenSource approach - based on the @tiltfive hardware - to visualize molecular #structures in #3D for #education & #research & #development purposes.

Curiosity Meets Science – Girls’ Day 2025 at #MPL & #MPZPM

We recently welcomed 30 curious girls to explore #physics, light, and #medicine at our institutions. They discovered the daily work of physicists, lab engineers, mechanics, and IT’s role in #research. With countless questions they explored labs and workshops. We hope to inspire future #science and #technology enthusiasts!

My contribution to a blog challenge based on questions about my relationship with technology in the past, present and future.

This took me down memory lane and into a hopeful future so thank you to the Seer of Souls who came up with these questions!

Had my friends drag me through the math and code to generate 2d and 3d game objects. (Shit was rough but I made it. But at what cost? 😭 I can read the code and tell you what it does at least...)

Have been reading academic papers on Generative AI, Machine Learning, Neural networks etc.

But also, getting into cybersecurity and consumer protections (protecting USERS is one of my concerns about AI!! Protecting your unwashed tech bro AI loving ass!)

Continued thread

Its like... to these rando gen AI Bros who claim artists don't know how generative AI works... I'M SORRY, what are YOUR credentials, jerkoff rando?

Bruh I went to a STEM university. Wanted to be a concept artist/gamedev. I had paper drawings and a few digital drawings as my portfolio. Ended up learning how graphics are MADE visible using a CPU/GPU. Learned a decent amount of C/C++, Java and Python. (Very painful.)
