The fabulous team at @longcovidsupport.bsky.social are posting video messages across #LongCovidAwarenessDay. They do amazing advocacy work for our community, reminding the politicians and medics that the "missing millions" in our society really need their help. Give them a follow!
📣 🎬 Our second video message on #LongCovidAwarenessDay is from the brilliant Catherine Heymans - Astronomer Royal for Scotland.
Thank you for speaking out @astroroyalscot.bsky.social, it means a huge amount to the #LongCovid community! 🙏

Congrats to @desisurvey.bsky.social - it's looking more & more like dark energy isn't Einstein's cosmological constant! If you've woken up to the news & are searching for the publications, they don't appear to be on arxiv 🤷♀️ but they are online. 🔭 #cosmology 🧪

![A graph of the evolution of the dark energy (vertical axis) as a function of time (redshift on the horizontal axis) - showing an offset from the cosmological constant (a flat horizontal line). Here is the figure caption from the paper:
FIG. 12. Comparison of the constraints on the equation of
state of dark energy using the CPL parametrization and a bin-
ning reconstruction approach, using DESI+CMB+DESY5.
The solid green line shows the best-fit w(z) based on w0 and
wa inference and the green contours around it represent the
68% and 95% confidence intervals. We also show in blue the
constraints from the binning approach [47], with the hori-
zontal bars indicating the bin width (which is fixed) and the
vertical bars representing the 1σ error. Additionally, we in-
clude in gray the 1D posterior for each binning parameter.
The ΛCDM limit corresponds to the horizontal gray dashed
line.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ok3ms3dzop7gcwejp7lswhpi/bafkreiaa64kyfu7u5ber7u6kwk2zzkuet66j6o3l4lr5ftl5sef67pzham@jpeg)

It's the biggest question there is: are we alone in the Universe? Having the tech to probe the chemical composition of distant planets is 🥳, but as this is just a 3σ result (as likely to be noise as it is likely that today is your birthday) take it with a pinch of salt.👇More on the heated debate👇 🔭🧪

This says more about the US than Britain.
North Americans are way more obsessed with pickups than people in other rich countries -- even though 70 percent of US truck owners don't go off-roading and ~1/3 don't put anything in the bed during an avg year.

The best-selling motor vehicles in the US and UK for 2024 are both made by Ford, but that's where the similarity ends.
