The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

For years, the process of getting your business's name on one of those blue highway signs was the same. That all changed in July, when the state privatized the program after more than 40 years managing it.

Businesses Pay to Get On Those Blue Road Signs—and the Price Just Went Up
Ever wonder how a restaurant or gas station gets on those blue road signs? For many N.C. businesses, it just got more expensive.

I've always wondered who decides which gas stations, restaurants & hotels get their logos on blue highway signs. As it turns out: There's a market for that. For @theassemblync.bsky.social I dug into the recently privatized logo sign program: www.theassemblync.com/news/busines...

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

This is absolutely how health care for trans people should be covered.
Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

False. I recently checked the ADL data, which has some issues because they include non-ideological murders. But even with those removed, over the past decade right-wing extremists would account for about half of the murders, with about 35% by Islamist extremists, and 8% by left-wing extremists.

I’m late to season 4 of “The Bear” and just want to appreciate Robert Townsend for a minute. He exudes pure joy, even when he’s in a hospital bed. And this show (great as it is) needs that. Glad he’s still doing it, 40 years after making some

When I was a kid (5ish), I stole a pack of Thriller baseball cards from a drug store. Made the mistake of bragging to my sister, who told my mom, who took me back to the store to confess (and browbeat the manager into giving me a real talking to).
Oh, it said "fondest." Nevermind.
