futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-11 23:56:38

Never one to properly interpret anything scientific, uber-popular podcaster Joe Rogan has become entranced by a study that affirms his climate skepticism. Now, as The Guardian reports, one of the study's authors is setting the record straight and pointing out that Rogan is not only drawing the exact opposite conclusion from the study, but that he's spewing misinformation to a vast audience using his incorrect takeaways.

As a visible Ethiopian scientist, she gets a lot of email requests, but his stood out. “No obstacle was going to stand in his way,” she says.

Why basic science deserves our boldest investment

technologyreview.com Julia R. Greer 2025-10-13 00:45:00

Inspired by the 1945 report “Science: The Endless Frontier,” authored by Vannevar Bush at the request of President Truman, the US government began a long-standing tradition of investing in basic research. These investments have paid steady dividends across many scientific domains—from nuclear energy to lasers, and from medical technologies to artificial intelligence.

Andy Walker / Android Authority I consider myself a generative AI skeptic, with my initial interest in the technology turning into frustration and distrust. But there’s one tool that has genuinely impressed me over the past few months: NotebookLM. Its power lies in the ability for you to set custom sources that the service’s chatbot draws information from — leading to better quality responses compared with many of the other tools I’ve experimented with.

Astronomers examining data from the James Webb Space Telescope say they've spotted what might be the oldest black hole in the universe, born less than a second after the Big Bang. Their findings, published in a new study awaiting peer review, could offer the best evidence yet of the existence of what's known as a primordial black hole, a hypothetical object that's divided scientists for decades.

Like many startups, climate tech companies often face a “valley of death” that lies between early stage funding and growth capital that helps proven technologies reach commercial scale. But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider.
