Reminder: We welcome submissions on the blog. But if you really want them posted here; please tidy up your post, add a bit of info to it, just make it look like an overall nice post (look at the previous posts we’ve put up for reference). We prefer photo and video posts with info added over anything else (unless it’s a self explanitory image/video). Thanks for the submissions guys, we really appreciate it! -Ken
ikenbotYeaaaah. Sorry about any confusion with people who seem disappointed or confused in the pro choice stance we have. This blog is not just a website with information, it also has opinions and varying perceptions (just like you guys! waddayaknow). So please keep that in mind, we are people too. If you can’t deal with these small attributes of the blog then I highly suggest unfollowing.
Thanks for all the posts. It’s like marine biology all over again, but without the homework. Science on.
you’re much welcome :D
This is our 5000th post!
Thanks to all the avid followers for keeping in tune with our daily science stories; we hope to continue to keep you captivated and amazed!

Hello, everyone! Rose here, to let you all know of some new changes, updates, and additions that have been made to the Scinerds layout.
~ Navigation Links: Up in the top right corner of the layout, you’ll see some new links in the navigation section. We’ll probably be adding a few more in the near future, but for now the two new additions are:
- A link to the #science section on Tumblr.
- A page about the authors here at Scinerds. It shows what fields of science we all cover, and some extra information along with it.
~ Featured Tags: Another new addition to Scinerds is the “featured tag” section. Located on the sidebar as well, it features the latest 25 posts (currently) tagged as “science”. So even though the original post may not be on the first page of Scinerds anymore, it will still be showcased in the sidebar until more posts under the same tag arrive.
~ Contributing Authors: Though this isn’t such a new addition to the blog, it may be to the new followers we’ve gained since last being on the Tumblr Radar a few days ago. It lists all the Scinerd Admins who bring you your daily dose of science on all different subjects.
Hope these new features are of help to everyone in browsing Scinerds at ease. Make sure to check out the archives as well, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask us things. Just a reminder that only certain admins will be able to answer your questions if they know and/or post about the field (example: the geology admin won’t answer a neuroscience question). So if your question is not answered instantly - don’t fret -because we’re probably out at the moment doing science-y things!
Hi fellow nerds! My name is Christie from the blog Alchymista, and I’m the latest member of the Scinerds blog! I’m currently a student studying chemistry in North Carolina, considering a route in pharmacy or possibly secondary chemistry education.
While I won’t claim to be an expert in any particular topic as of yet, I love to educate myself and educate others to the best of my ability. So if I don’t have the knowledge to answer one of your questions, rest assured that I will perform background research to properly answer!
I’m honored to join this community! Have a nice day :)
alchymistaHello Guys, I’m Kim, I’m the new administrator of Scinerds. I’m a student having major in Physics, I’ll post cool and amazing pieces of information about Science and I hope we’ll have a great time in this blog.
You can leave me some Message here, And if you want, you can also follow me on my personal blog here.

Good question, could be months from now, years, decades, or maybe even centuries. Nobody has an exact answer to this since our technology has not really advanced enough, at least not enough where it can search for life outside of a small portion of the milky way galaxy. And given the possibility of the number of galaxies there could be, that’s a very small portion that we’ve looked at to note whether or not we’d find distant life.
Which reminds me, there was but one unexplained signal that could hint at something more out there, but it could have been a number of things, a pulsar, quasar, or similar natural occurrences that we’ve yet to learn of. Or you could take your imagination a bit further and picture some distant alien race sending out signals to their closest stars, aiming at our Sun in the process and thus the Wow! signal was born. But the latter is just a wild speculation of mine and others.
So if someone gives you a definitive answer they’re answering based on what little data we have for now. My guess is that we may find life decades from now when we have more sophisticated technologies scattered throughout our star’s distant vicinity. Maybe then we could at least have more of an idea of how probable it would be for life to arise in other planets or moons. We haven’t even probed Jupiter’s moon Europa, which is believed to harbor an ocean world beneath its icy crust.
So there’s still a lot of questions and mysteries we’ve yet to tap into in our own solar system let alone our own galaxy. My personal opinion is that there may be all sorts of life not as we know it and maybe similar to it in other sectors of the Milky Way and other galaxies.
I often think that if Sun-like stars are becoming more and more frequent as our technology advances, who’s to say other planets as nurturing as the Earth have not been hit with meteors carrying the stuff of life. Starting the process of evolution but under different conditions or chemical make-up. I speak for no one but myself when I say that the probability of us finding distant life (if we don’t kill life on this planet along with ourselves in the meantime) could be very high. Despite the fact that some planets may be too extreme for us, the more exoplanets we encounter, the more I think this universe almost seems to allow for far bigger and stranger chances when it comes to life.
Hey guys, I’m Michaelantonio and I’m new to the team here at Scinerds. I’ll be covering physics, a bit of environmental stuff, tech, and just the general sciencey things. I also have my own news/politics blog at This Is The Right One and I contribute to We Speak For Earth. Well hey, I’m looking forward to spreading my love for science with you. Much love.
pieceinthepuzzlehumanity-deactiHello, everyone! I’m Rose (user: crownedrose) and one of the newest admin additions to this amazing blog. Just wanted to make an introduction post for you all to know what I’ll be posting here at Scinerds. I’ll be covering topics that deal with Geology, landscapes, and hints of Palaeontology. I also run another science/nature blog by myself called Geologise, which posts all types of natural sciences, landscapes, nature and the universe as a whole. I’m quite excited to join the Scinerd team and bring you guys great information and photos on the topics I’ll be focusing on for this blog!
Btw, scinerds is still looking for admins to take on specific subjects. Preferably geology/landscapes, neuroscience/brain, and physics/quantum/particle physics. For consideration and or eligibility queries head on over to Scinerds questions and let us know what you’d be interested in contributing under as well as showing a format of how your posts look.
