You are a scientist because, because why? If you’re not already following the hashtag, go set up your filter now; it blew up our Twitter stream this week. Our faves were the images, like dynamite (kersplowie!) the slinkysmooth rhinochimaeras (awwww!) and an awful landscape (sigh).
Below, more smart science feeds to follow in the coming weeks. Nominate your favorites here.
Follow Eric Topol on Twitter Medical research is all well and good, but what does it mean for me? Author, cardiologist, and Medscape editor in chief Eric Topol collects up smart insights from around the web from big data stuff to breast cancer stuff (and the intersection of the two).
Follow Science Porn on Twitter Come for the ravioli stingrays, stay for what’s basically a love song to the funnest, prettiest, inspiringest stuff the world’s PhDs have to offer.
Follow Science Humor on Pinterest How do you tell the difference between a train conductor and a chemist? Ask them to spell “unionised”! Yuk yuk yuk. Chemistry Cat is there too of course. And pickup lines that act as good date screeners (I want to be Adenine so I can be paired with U).
Follow John Baez on Google+ If you think this is hilarious, you’re probably already following John Baez on Google+ (don’t tell anyone we don’t get the joke and we won’t tell anyone that you hang out on Google+). If science fiction and tiling problems are more your speed, just for their fanciful good looks, you’ll get a kick out of him, too. Suggested by Simon Foster.
