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.
And trans lives are 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.

Heavy tar sands aren’t economically viable?? Has…has anyone told Alberta or Carney this?
The truly wild thing is this isn’t even true, a shit-ton of their oil reserves on paper are heavy tar sands and every US oil company will take one look at that at $80/bbl and walk away because it isn’t close to economically viable.
Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

Serious inquiry, because I’ve heard differing opinions on this.
Would you all date someone with the same birthday as you ? Why or why not ?

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The average American thinks that the combined Muslim, Jewish and Native American population makes up a combined 84% of the country when it is, in fact, 4%
Absolutely. This aligns with this yougov poll that shows actual percentages of the U.S. population on the left in red and perceived percentages on the right in blue. Most people assume the population is much more rich and more diverse than it actually is.

If the email inboxes of my Ottawa City Council colleagues who are supporting Lansdowne 2.0 (I am not) are anything like mine, then surely they’re wondering if this will hurt their re-election chances. This will be a ballot box issue. As for me, I’m clearly on the majority’s side.
