Noise cancelling earbuds are saving my life

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

During a rare "swarm" of earthquakes in Yellowstone, the amount of microbial life present increased by 6.5 times before dropping back to normal after the tremors subsided

Some really interesting findings for all of us later bloomers who struggled to connect across fields and build a base of broad knowledge: "Across the highest adult performance levels, peak performance is negatively correlated with early performance." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Oh, what the fuck?!? All my published academic papers are in here. Somehow when I heard, “authors,” I forgot about myself and academic work.

Researchers discover evidence for West African ancestry in Anglo Saxon England, revealing the diverse, cosmopolitan nature of early medieval Britain 🏺 #Archaeology Read the original research articles in Antiquity 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

I think most western countries don’t have a housing crisis at all, they have an asset price crisis 😅 and too many people vote like they’re temporarily disgraced millionaires, rather than to tax wealth hoarders #comic #comics #webcomic

A very interesting article about the origin of potatoes. So worth reading, I'll forgive the author the terrible (glorious) pun at the end. #Potatoes #Tomatoes

Smart! A Raven doing Raven things.

Latest update for changes in land ice mass as observed by GRACE(-FO) satellite in Antarctica (left) and Greenland (right). This melting contributes to global sea level rise, with the largest declines in Greenland so far 🌊 Graphic can be downloaded at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

This important paper passed under the media radar. It analyses a key indicator of the stability of the Atlantic overturning #AMOC, in measured ocean data. It finds that most climate models get this wrong, and thus have an #AMOC that is too stable. 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

“These findings suggest climate change might well accelerate in the coming years. Worse still, this worrying imbalance is emerging even as funding uncertainty in the United States threatens our ability to track the flows of heat.” H/t @thinkorswim.bsky.social theconversation.com/earth-is-tra...

Colistin-resistant genes found in imported shrimp This is not unexpected, but still a public health concern.

We don’t know how close we are to triggering an Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC breakdown - but now we know a lot more about what it would mean for extreme temperatures in Europe. Good @carbonbrief.org piece on a new study just out by the Dutch colleagues! 🌊 www.carbonbrief.org/ocean-curren...

I visited the extraordinary Lough Lurgeen Bog last week on my travels around east Galway 🧵 Here's an image of the bog from Google Maps and a picture I took from the sky with a drone. I will endeavour to explain the significance below.

Lula mandou na lata sem rodeios Bolsonaristas que se dizem "patriotas" estão fugindo e pior: pedindo que E.U intervenham em nossa política atacando nossa soberania numa prática terrorista. Gente, que patriota é este? 😳 Patriota mesmo foi Lula que não fugiu e se tornou presidente

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

Every €1 the EU invests in research can yield up to €11 in growth by 2045. With €43 billion from Horizon Europe, we’ve backed 15,000+ projects – from antibiotics to the transition. This year we’ll put in over €7.3 billion to meet Europe’s challenges. For everyone to benefit ↓ europa.eu/!WHpGGg
