Trump's DOJ is suing @boston.gov over the Trust Act - a local law that limits local law enforcement's participation in federal immigration policy, builds trust, and promotes public safety.
I'm filing a brief with the courts today to stand with Boston, the safest major city in America.

What does a giant cloud in space smell like? 🍓✨
Astrophysicist @erikahamden.bsky.social explains how a giant cloud called Sagittarius B2 smells like raspberries because it’s full of ethyl formate, the molecule behind the fruit’s sweet scent. Astronomers were searching for amino acids.

High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is.

Vehicle safety tests in the U.S. use crash test dummies based on a male body. Advocates say it’s no coincidence that women are more likely to suffer injuries in car crashes than men. A new female crash dummy is on her way:

The female crash test dummy has been a long time coming — but she isn't here yet
After years of limbo, the U.S. government has given the green light to a crash test dummy based on the female body. But will it be used right away? Not so fast.
