And you read a lot—we know because we asked you who you follow on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and other social media sources and the answers flooded in. We plucked out a few, and we’ll be presenting you with more smart science feeds to follow in the coming weeks. Nominate your favorites here.

So Argon walks into a bar and the bartender says “I’m sorry sir, we don’t serve noble gasses here.” Argon looks him straight in the eyes and doesn’t even react. Har har har. Corny chemistry jokes never ever EVER get old, and you can watch videos full of them on the American Chemical Society’s YouTube Channel. Plus chemistry-based life hacks (salt plus bad-tasting coffee = slightly less-bad-tasting coffee) and important explainers (why DO dogs sniff eachother's butts?) (Suggested by @RissaChem)

Colorized images of space are a bit of a guilty pleasure—awe-inspiring, but they also remind us of a cheap space-cowboy book cover, somehow. Whatever. If you can’t revel a little bit in the glories of the heavens, your soul is a crumbly lame earthbound thing, frankly.

Feed your brain and your eyeballs with periodic posts that succinctly explain science concepts. The illustrations are by a different designer each time, and they are delightful. (Suggested by @might_could)

If you, as we do, spend your days fretting over the sizes of proportional circles, or arguing about the scope of an axis, or wondering how on earth you’re going to present a colossal database of numbers in a leetle pithy chart, you are going to love Junk Charts. All the mistakes you try not to make, ever, are collected up by Kaiser Fung and presented, with commentary, for your schadenfreudish dissecting pleasure. Just hope you never end up in his crosshairs.
