1/ I’ve been wondering a bunch of things about a potential AMOC collapse: "When will it tip?" "What are the most likely effects?" "Can we stop it?" So I looked for answers in the many scientific papers published on this. Here’s a super plain language thread with what I found.🧵

Called with different names (Focus Reading, Bionic Reading), the theory behind using bolded letters to read quicker is that the typographical change works because your brain reads faster than your eyes. Or, your memory only needs the first few letters to fill in the gaps.

You've probably heard that "we are stardust," but this graphic breaks it down further & tells you what kind of stars your dust came from--and which elements didn't come from stars at all. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13873/
