I would die for pissfingers

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

1,019 glaciers have disappeared since 1973 in Switzerland! ✝️ 1st nationwide assessment of vanished glaciers: >40% of the glaciers inventoried in 1973 ~13% (47±3 km²) of total glacier area loss! 🧊🔥 But, as it is based on the latest inventory (from 2016), the actual figures are far much higher! 📈 😰

Ancient tooth proteins reveal the biological sex and genetic diversity of Paranthropus robustus. Led by Dr. Palesa Madupe of the University of Copenhagen and UCT’s HERI, this study provides the oldest human genetic data from Africa. 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

You cannot be a great scientist and a sexual predator. Maybe you can have scientific talent but I think being a scientist means caring about humanity’s knowledge and those who want to add to it. A good scientist wouldn’t stifle young women wanting to contribute to science. That hurts humanity.

I used to have panic attacks after informal socialising during palaeo events. I struggled to engage, feeling alienated by not fitting in. I falsely thought it was a skill issue. Didn't realise, I just don't enjoy sitting with groups predominantly composed of slightly drunk British men.

Adding citations of people who might review the paper

I submitted a PubPeer comment, documented the similarities extensively, and emailed the publication. I really hope something comes of this. I've not identified the plagiarist with certainty yet (based on a common name) but I will continue to pursue that as well.

Someone just straight up plagiarized a former student's published work and submitted to another publication and posted as a preprint. It reproduces figures, large chunks of text, and has the same citations in the same order. MDPI of course... more to come.

My brilliant #PhD candidate Georgina Luti 🤩 Her new paper gives detailed, regional evidence for conformable fs-sed sequences, providing robust ages for the #Cradle fossils. Not an intrusive fs in sight! And she identifies a whole lot of textural complexity in the fs fabrics @heriuct.bsky.social

As COP30 begins, here's a gentle reminder that well-intentioned half measures aren't going to solve the climate crisis. The era of fossil fuels must come to an end. My latest in The Guardian... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excellent paper. I'm increasingly convinced that students are not dedicated to GenAI junk, but if they're being drowned in it, some may feel like they have no choice but to use it. It was the players who ultimately got steroids out of baseball; students will need to help get GenAI out of education.

European summer heatwaves are worsening unevenly Central & Northern Europe: more moisture stress = stronger, more variable heatwaves Southern Europe: drier but more stable = weaker extremes Prepare for variability in the north, warming in the south www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Science is stronger when every voice is heard. At HERI, diversity drives discovery, challenges assumptions, and creates richer stories of our shared human story.

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...
