... a handful scientist dared to dream #big! Did you know that the Chinese Academy of Sciences played a decisive role in establishing a #space #program in China? Back then, when the republic was young and facing existential threats sivh as famine, a handful scientist dared to dream #big. If you want to know more, I recommend you this brief historic review by the #Grandseigneur of space based science, Dr. WU Ji in China. The statement that resonates with me most is "International cooperation is one of the most important aspects of space science management." Dr. WU Ji is the President of Chinese Society of Space Research, and the former Director-General and Professor at the #National #Space #Science #Center (#NSSC), #CAS. https://lnkd.in/eXwuF8Mz

Open science accelerates breakthroughs and prevents misinformation. 🌍 NASA's TOPS program just showed me how. This approach could revolutionize your field too! I've just earned my badge from #NASA's Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative, and one striking example from the session really drove home the power of open science: In 1990, satellite data analysis suggested global cooling in the upper atmosphere, leading some to question the reality of global warming. However, because the data and analysis methods weren't openly shared, it took an #eight-year delay until 1998 for other researchers to discover a critical error in the original analysis. The original researchers hadn't accounted for orbital decay and other effects, which had led to a falsely perceived cooling trend. Open science practices could have prevented this delay and misinformation spread. 🛡️ Imagine applying these principles to your research. How much faster could we solve critical problems? Key benefits of open science: 1️⃣ Accelerates error detection 2️⃣ Enhances result reliability 3️⃣ Promotes faster breakthroughs 4️⃣ Democratizes knowledge access Imagine if we applied these principles across all scientific fields – from #medical research to #space exploration. The potential for faster breakthroughs and more reliable results is enormous! 🚀 Huge thanks to Cameron Riddell and Courtney Haun, from Don't Use This Code for leading this insightful session. As someone passionate about innovation, I'm excited to apply these principles in my work. The potential for transformative discoveries when we collaborate openly is immense. 🧬 Want to join the open science revolution?

As part of a lifelong learning and curiosity, I completed a self-paced course - NASA Open Science 101 - and earned a badge from Nasa Transform to Open Science https://lnkd.in/e2V2WNNs Open Science is defined as “The principle and practice of making research products and processes available to all, while respecting diverse cultures, maintaining security and privacy, and fostering collaborations, reproducibility, and equity. Prior to earning this badge, I published two papers, on Climate Change in 2023 https://lnkd.in/euJSzf2J, and on universe formation in 2022 https://lnkd.in/eKiuSXmh #NASATOPS #OPENSCIENCE

Recent observations from NASA’s IRIS satellite have provided compelling evidence supporting a long-standing theory regarding the creation of solar flares. This phenomenon, known as "slip-running" reconnection, involves the rapid shifting of magnetic field lines in the sun’s atmosphere at astonishing speeds of up to 2,600 km/s. This discovery aligns with predictions made nearly two decades ago, enhancing our understanding of solar dynamics.The slip-running reconnection process is crucial for explaining the mechanisms behind solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can have significant effects on space weather and Earth's atmosphere. The findings were presented at the 17th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-17), highlighting the importance of multi-scale energy release during solar events.This breakthrough not only validates previous models but also opens new avenues for research into the complex interactions of solar magnetic fields, potentially leading to improved forecasting of solar activity and its impacts on our planet. https://lnkd.in/eXRn3mg6

Oregon State University researchers are partnering with NASA on a $525,000 NSF project to study how gravity affects microbial biofilms. They will send samples to the International Space Station in 2025 to isolate the role of capillarity, a force driving liquid movement in porous media, by eliminating gravity's influence. This research has applications in groundwater remediation, water treatment, agriculture, and space exploration. Biofilms will be 3D scanned upon return to compare growth in microgravity versus Earth. The project also includes STEM outreach, connecting students with live ISS experiments. https://lnkd.in/e8fCswgM Did you know our Bio-Extract™ kits—designed for isolating microbial DNA in the most remote locations on Earth—are now heading to space? Through Vanderbilt University’s Wond’ry Accelerator, Microbial Insights is one of only three Tennessee companies selected to contribute to innovative space health research.
