Misconceptions about science fuel pandemic debates and controversies, says Neil deGrasse Tyson - Schools should teach science as an evolving process — not a series of hard facts, argues astrophysicist

"People were unwittingly witnessing science at its very best.… [They said,] 'You told me not to wear a mask a month ago and now you tell me [to] wear it.… You don't know what you're talking about.' Yes, we do," the American astrophysicist and author told The Sunday Magazine host Piya Chattopadhyay.

"Science is a means of querying nature. And when we have enough experiments and enough observations, only then can we say: This is how nature behaves, whether you like it or not. And that is when science contributes to what is to what is objectively true in the world."

La Palma as captured by Copernicus Sentinel-2

Since the Cumbre Vieja volcano began erupting on 19 September 2021, lava has burned through homes, roads and farmlands causing mass destruction on the west part of the Canary Island of La Palma. Satellite imagery has helped authorities monitor and manage the ongoing crisis. From capturing images of the rivers of lava, to measuring gas emissions and assessing damage, the fleet of Copernicus Sentinel satellites have been providing crucial data for local teams.

#podmin #podmins I also updated the single stats page a little https://fediverse.observer/diasp.org for example. Still not in love with my design skills here.

#diaspora #friendica #mastodon are now the software featured on the wizard.

Probably some updates on that new main page today so it auto highlights when you visit a sub-domain.
