Bill Nye the CNNThe massive solar storm could present “a real danger,” especially with the modern world relying so much on electricity, according to Bill Nye the Science Guy, a science educator and engineer. In comparison to tonight's event, Nye drew comparisons with another incident in 1859, known as the Carrington Event, when telegraph communications were severely affected. “The other thing, everybody, that is a real danger to our technological society, different from 1859, is how much we depend on electricity and our electronics and so on,” Nye said. "None of us really in the developed world could go very long without electricity." He noted that there are systems in place to minimize the impact, but “stuff might go wrong,” stressing that not all transformers are equipped to withstand such a solar event.

Science communicator Bill Nye’s remark that “we cannot leave the Earth” referred to disposal of the planet’s trash, not - as online posts taking his words out of context suggest - that human space travel is impossible. In the shortened video clip, Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society, says that the Earth is a “closed system,” adding that “we cannot leave the Earth.”“There’s no place to go. The student asked Nye about the ethical and practical implications of shooting trash into space to avoid putting it in landfills (timestamp 2.22s). Nye first answers that it would be “too expensive,” adding that the Earth is a “closed system” in the context of handling trash. Nye was responding to a question about why humans do not shoot trash into space; he was not suggesting that space travel is impossible.

☆ Law Restricting Bathroom Use for Idaho Transgender Students to Go Into Effect as Challenge Continues
  + stars: | 2023-10-13 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho law restricting which bathrooms transgender students can use in schools will go into effect while a court challenge plays out. It prohibits transgender students from using public school restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity. It also allows other students to sue their school if they encounter a student using a bathroom that doesn’t align with their sex assigned at birth. About a quarter of Idaho schools allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, Nye said in a previous decision. The group also pushed a new Idaho law criminalizing gender-affirming health care for minors.

☆ Artificial light while asleep linked to higher diabetes risk

CNN —Sleeping in a room exposed to outdoor artificial light at night may increase the risk of developing diabetes, according to a study of nearly 100,000 Chinese adults. Urban light pollution is so widespread that it can affect suburbs and forest parks that may be tens, even hundreds, of miles from the light source, the authors said. “Studies have suggested that inconsistent sleep patterns have been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes,” he said in a statement. Blood samples were collected and compared with satellite imagery of light levels in the area of China in which each person lived. The analysis found chronic exposure to light pollution at night raised blood glucose levels and led to a higher risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
