Blazars are incredibly bright active galaxies, hosting a feeding supermassive black hole at their center. Now, astronomers have just announced they've spotted one flaring regularly in gamma rays, for an interesting reason: dual black holes in its center.

This week is World Antibiotic Awareness Week!
The rise of #AntibioticResistance is a global threat.
It can affect anyone,
of any age,
in any country

Anything that helps move the conversation away from individual action and towards policy and structural change is welcome!
Is our ability to affect climate change limited?
Leeds research found that participants care about climate change, but felt unable to radically change their lifestyles.
Dr Milena Büchs (@mmbuchs) makes the case for more policy change: medium.com/university-of-lee…

Hey, remember that viral video of a baby bear climbing up a snowy cliff to its mother?
It's not a life-affirming tale of persistence. The bears were fleeing from the drone that was filming and harassing them.

Our #ScientistThisWeek is Rosalind Franklin, an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer best known for her crucial work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA, which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson, Francis Crick who won the Nobel Prize (1962).

To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re sharing inspirational figures in science all week. John Edmonstone was born a slave in Guyana. In 1817 he travelled to Edinburgh where he was freed and learnt taxidermy, teaching to students including Charles Darwin.

Hey guys!
Tomorrow is our favourite day... some of you know it as Thursday but we know it as #FallingAppleFM day! We will be coming to you at the slightly later time of 3pm, but we’re still very excited to get to the core of the hot science stories of the week 🍎

Talk about foresight: Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was one of the first programmers and the first to recognize that the “Analytical Machine” could do more than crunch numbers. She even predicted its potential to create music. Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! #WomenInSTEM
The Live Science Radio Show retweeted
Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! To celebrate her legacy, why not watch and listen to our scientists, from Oxford to Vietnam, discuss why we need women in science, their inspiration, and their advice to the next generation of #womeninSTEM. What would your advice be? po.st/as4QMP
