for all the lil gremlins (affectionate) — but not the gremlins (derogatory) — you might like to hear it read out by a wonderful person who randomly just did this (if you read this: thank you!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJNO...

Fellow seismologists, we're going to get a lot of mileage out of the latest @xkcd.com

The kids are alright

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

This is now the longest U.S. government shutdown in history. The 2nd longest U.S. government shutdown was under the first Trump administration when Republicans also controlled all branches of government. The data suggests that Republicans are unable to govern effectively.

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

1.7 billion for international recruitment, but cutting Tri-council funding? Double Ugh.

This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

As a Canadian researcher who went abroad & returned to Canada & am now seeing my country throw Canadian scientists under the bus (again)…I definitely feel like 👇🏽

Loving the idea of a photo-book and enjoying the layout process but a bit overwhelmed by all the possible permutations. So many variables to consider regarding the book itself long before you're picking photos. Anyone know a publisher?

I just donated to support this terrific effort. Link below. Join me! 👻

I'm really happy to share our latest work: “Cholinergic heterogeneity facilitates synchronization and information flow in a whole-brain model” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just increased our monthly donations to @feedingamerica.org . If you’re in a position to give, this is a great charity helping get food to families in need across the nation

Frames taken from a new long video just uploaded to the YouTube channel, today. Featuring drone footage from a moody day last week in Ucluelet. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Just uploaded a new long, 4K, widescreen wide to that other video sharing site. I features some moody seas and sky from around Ucluelet last week. Just search for "UkeeTube" or find the Link in my bio and/or comments #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland

Amphitrite Lighthouse for sunset. I was immediately greeted by a whale spout so I didn't fly the drone (flying any drone near whales is a huge no-no in Canada). Luckily I had brought my "proper" camera and beefy lens so I was happy to snap away with that. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

This is something that Canada should also be doing more! www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

Thanks to the Edge to Edge Marathon and, by extension, the Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce for trusting me to be the official photographer this year. It was a blast!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv. There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Spotted on LinkedIn... a bad AI summary of our new paper on risks of AI in research. Please make it stop.

This time of year as outdoor dining becomes less common the crows become even more brazen. This afternoon one wanted some of my Nug Life chicken nuggets bad enough to hang out right on the table. I saw my chance and took it. If you look closely you can see me in its eye #Ucluelet #Crows

It's time for another episode of SARAH YELLS ABOUT BOOKS! This time, we're in the non-fiction section with this GEM of a book from Victoria Finlay. I have been wanging on about this book to ANYONE who will listen, MANY who will not, and now it's YOUR TURN. READ IT READ IT READ IT READ IT READ IT.

In Azerbaijan, critics of the tyrannical government dressed up in donkey suits to mock them -- and were imprisoned: substack.com/home/post/p-...

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

reposting with alt-text Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

Thanks, Sarah, for also providing the link to your paper on Uzbekistan. The parallels are astonishing. open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

Despite a huge growth in women's sports, female athletic footwear is still designed using molds from men's feet. Research from @runnerphysio.bsky.social suggests that the practice known in the industry as "shrink it and pink it" is not meeting the needs of female runners. ow.ly/Ig5W50XcHjg
