Diamonds are a scientist's best friend—if they're studying Earth's inner layers! Natural diamonds form in the Earth’s molten mantle, far deeper than humans have ever drilled. In this video, mineralogist Kate Kiseeva, assistant curator in the Division of Physical Sciences, explains how tiny crystals captured within these diamonds give scientists a direct window into our planet's inner structure.
i could never associate myself with any other form of academic aesthetics than chaotic academia. this is literally the only 'aesthetic' i can abide by, because why are there so many books scattered on my bed, i sleep alone on a whole queen size bed but cannot fit in because after a whole day of studying,books.are.everywhere.
and for some odd reason i refuse to arrange them, it somehow makes it harder for me to find them so i just don't, i have the tendency to make the most important notes on scraps of paper??? though i end up collecting all of them and now i have a stash of notes only i can understand because they are so damn context less.
i always wanted to associate myself to dark academia, because omg i wanna be mysterious so bad, but omfg when i start speaking :D there's literally no stopping me.
my hands, ALWAYS STAINED WITH INK, like i'm EMBARASSED so so embarassed, that i'm a legal adult with pen stains on my clothes, blankets, pillow covers, body and what not.
it is not as pretty or put together as it seems when you study, but it's fun, there's fun in learning i literally just had a mental breakdown over physics but it's a privilege, a privilege that the only thing i'm stressing over is acads, we should probably enjoy the process of learning more than raving over the outcomes, hopefully that makes the process more enjoyable and well, easier to an extent.
anyway, it's 5:20 PM and am off for a nap, b-bye :3

NATIVE CARBON DIOXIDE FOUND ON JUPITER’S MOON EUROPA
Unimaginably huge collections of gas, dust, stars, and even planets, galaxies come in many shapes and sizes. Some are spirals, such as our own galaxy, others are like squashed balls, and some have no shape at all.

I find this Antonov An-74 plane hilarious. Not just because of the weird engine placement, everyone finds that hilarious. This (and the related AN-72) are nicknamed "Cheburashka", after this cartoon character:
But no, the even funnier thing, to me, is how they've labeled this plane. Lemme zoom in:
THEY PUT THE PLANE'S FAX NUMBER ON IT
who sees a fucking plane and goes "hey, maybe I should send that plane a fax"?
'do you think you're superior for not using AI in your work' thank you for asking! yes i do
Scientists in the US claim to have boiled down some of the health benefits of exercise into a swallowable pill. The novel drug is in the very early stages of development, but in initial experiments on rodents, the medicine appears to tap into a natural metabolic pathway usually triggered by exercise. When administered to mice daily, the drug, called SLU-PP-332, seems to improve muscle function, fitness, and endurance – all without the animals having to move more than they're used to.

Hello again!
I’m doing my masters thesis and yesterday i blazed a post for a questionnaire for people with ADHD, and i got a massive response. way more than i was expecting! thank you!
i made a questionnaire for people <without adhd> so that i could compare the results but because of how massive the response was for the adhd results i need help getting more responses for the non-ADHD questionnaire so that its even.
so if you do NOT have ADHD, please fill out this questionnaire.
what is it for?
my thesis is about making web gui for online encyclopaedias or web articles more adhd friendly by increasing focus and decreasing distractions. i need responses from people without adhd this time to see where exactly the differences lie.
Thank you in advance! i’ll need like 160 respondants to match with its adhd counterpart!
