I love illusions. Just came across this one tonight. Believe it or not, the shadow is produced by the box (not the bunny). We talk about artifacts all the time but I often wonder how illusions manifest in medical imaging. Here’s a fun @RSNA paper about it pubs.rsna.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

Do not normalize Donald Trump. Yes, he won 2nite going away. But Donald Trump refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power, he tried to overthrow an election, he committed crimes attacking our democracy, & he’s pledged to be a dictator.
Do not normalize Donald Trump.
Love my #FathersDay present this year (super comfortable material too)
Played around with the Cancer Imaging Archive today and I’m very impressed. I’m hoping I’ll soon have access to the Low Dose CT Image and Projection Dataset (had to specially request for some reason). Big kudos to all who’ve made this freely available

Sea surface temperature (SST) craziness has returned to the North Atlantic.
Covering daily data for 44 years (15,119 days), the North Atlantic SST anomaly just equaled the previous record level set on May 14th at 0.891°C above the 1982-2023 mean.

With due respect @emilymbender I really think you are thinking about this the wrong way.
👉 Congress won’t help any of us if we can’t find common ground
👉 There actually *is* common ground, since all of us are actually concerned about systems that are unreliable, poorly controlled and overly empowered
👉 The media has rightly started to ridicule the internal squabbles
👉 In the end, these squabbles are only empowering big tech to do exactly the things you don’t want it to do

I have no words.
The world's oceans are 0.4°F warmer right now than any other year on this date on record.
A single year... sitting 0.4°F above the previous daily record.
How do we even tell the public this?
Electromagnetism lesson for the girls tonight 🔋⚡️🧲🧭(magnetic field at end of solenoid was about 70μT…a bit weaker than the bar magnet at ~200μT)

Today, Rhode Island’s @GovDanMcKee announced standards requiring all new cars sold from 2035 onwards to be zero-emission vehicles.

This is corruption. Plain and simple. And each day that passes, the Supreme Court is looking less like a bench and more like an auction house.
Thomas should resign immediately and Roberts should see to it that he does.
Exclusive: Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo arranged for the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work nearly a decade ago, specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork. wapo.st/3LzCGpM

Five metronomes are placed on a foam core board. When empty cans are placed underneath, the board is free to move from side to side and the metronomes are able to influence each other into synchronization
