Has anybody ever come across Tygon tubing emitting CO or H2?

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Strathclyde University are running a study to explore the experiences of trans, non-binary, agender, and intersex individuals working (or aspiring to) in research and innovation in the UK: academia, industry, and the 3rd sector. Please share. strath.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Whoa! 😯. Apparently this happens when intense heat after heavy rainfall causes water under the road to evaporate and build up gas pressure 😬

Today’s finally the day that Daniel Hannan, famously such a predictive monster mind, said we should all look forward to. h/t @edwinhayward.com www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong. This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

A new release of over 500 Scottish abandoned-mine plans have been added to the BGS non-coal mining plans viewer. www.bgs.ac.uk/news/release...

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

This is the kind of thing the EHRC should be campaigning for. Have you ever seen them talk about disabled people’s rights because I haven’t and it’s in their remit.

🧵 As @iododds.bsky.social has already pointed out, the EHRC and the "supreme" court seem to want to create a historical/legal fiction that, in 2009 and 2010, parliament was proposing that The Equality Act (2010) was in fact a national toilet ban for trans people. As someone who was involved... 1/5

Hello everyone interested in Mineralogy, Crystallography, Petrology: The Mineralogical Society of America is now on Bluesky! Our website: msaweb.org.

hey lovelies, I finally got around to publicly sharing my compilation of big tech energy and emissions data. I'll be using it in articles, posts etc but it's yours too, free to use (w/ attribution is nice) ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/23/d...

If I want a computer that can work with GIS files that have over a million vector point entries, without taking 5 minutes to do anything as simple as selecting, what specs do I need?

Reviewer 2: "This is a well written manuscript.... the authors are to be congratulated..." This is the second peer review in a row where Reviewer 2 has enthusiastically praised the paper 🥰. What is wrong with the universe? 😅

I woke up this morning feeling inspired and motivated, with a clear and productive plan for this morning's work. I then spent an hour fighting with OneDrive to get access to the files I needed, and have no motivation or inspiration left now 🙄

Just saw a post using alt text to dump a list of key words to improve SEO. Do not do this. The first and foremost purpose of alt text is accessibility for someone who can't fully see the image. Dumping SEO terms there undermines that. It's not an html keyword meta tag. Just don't.

New #OpenAccess paper out - a bit different from my usual geochemistry-focussed work. Here we examine whether qualitative and semi-quantitative geoscience data are reported consistently and robustly in the peer reviewed literature, using breccias as an example. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thin-section prep question for the geoscientists out there. If you are impregnating your rock with resin to either stabilise it or with a coloured resin to observe porosity, do you use a vacuum chamber or a pressure chamber? What's the best protocol?

Close to TWO THOUSAND academics and educators say TRANS RIGHTS NOW. (Sorry if you've seen this (and the historians' letter!) too many times. The lack of an algorithm means we have to keep reposting it to catch people, and this really matters.)

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

"residents recorded whether it appeared, the condition of the lake and what historical events accompanied it. They have loyally written these descriptions every winter since 1443, creating a remarkable archive that attests to centuries of monotonously cold winters." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...

A cis woman was in the ladies toilet alone A man walked in shouting about trans people saying he was "defending women" Then they fired her I WANT TO SCREAM

Science pals. I'm trying to track down a paper but I don't have the journal, title or author name. It was from the last 18 months. The author discusses a very early origin of life on Earth. I seem to remember it was more of a philosophical paper but may have included computational work. #science

When I got my cochlear implant processor it came with a literal backpack full of accessories and maintenance kit. To make room for it all, I've started trying to clear out all my old hearing aids stuff. 1/3

Salt caves 2000 feet underground in New Mexico hold the radioactive nuclear waste from US defense projects. It's the world's only deep geologic repository. And DOGE says it has terminated the very large office in Carlsbad that oversees it. Details 👇

As my friend @drshepherd2013.bsky.social says, asking why we need a National Weather Service when we have apps and the Weather Channel is like asking why we need potato farmers when we can buy fries at McDonalds.

If you aren't already doing so, follow the resistance!

"But what can I do, I'm just a person" I'd rather see small acts of community help rather than passive defeatism. Even if you manage to help just one person, that's better than none. Now imagine if everyone dropped the defeatist attitude and helped.

I hope the good folks at Cyngor Gwynedd (Gwynedd Council) are not scared off serving their community by this ignorant trash from people whose value system starts and ends with making rich people richer.

Holy smokes; this is a tough read, and AGU don’t come out of it well. @holdingupthesky.bsky.social fills in some of the details and makes a call-to-action, although I personally understand if folks decide to dedicate their efforts to other organisations…
