Does greater biodiversity always increase ecosystem functioning? I used to think so, but now I'm not so sure.

AGU has an easy-to-use toolkit set for public feedback to proposed government actions. Now is a great time to respond to NSF’s proposed shuttering of NCAR. agu.quorum.us/campaign/154...

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Gisteren heeft Rusland een passagierstrein bewust aangevallen. Het haalt de media niet of nauwelijks. Maar de Russische terreur (tegen burgers) gaat onverminderd door.

Het geleuter van een stoet van stikstof charlatans zoals de meest recente Ronald Meester, Arthur Petersen, enz. gaat maar door. Meester doet dat zelfs in nauwe samenwerking met de agromaffia. Kabinet: zonder een snelle forse reductie van de veestapel blijft Nederland tot na 2035 op het stikstofslot

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote to Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday to push the state of Minnesota to hand over its voter rolls and data on Medicaid and food stamp recipients.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Interesting thread⬇️

🚨 Breaking Israel’s Knesset passed a law banning Palestinian academics inside the 1948-occupied territories from working in Israel’s education system. The measure invalidates their degrees for employment, effectively barring them from teaching or educational leadership roles.

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is educate normal people on complex subjects in ways that are engaging and digestible.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Solid advice!

ICE stoppen? Ga achter de bedrijven aan die met hen samenwerken. www.globalinfo.nl/nieuws/ice-s...

Wel goed om dit trending te maken. Alleen al om de reacties van de vaderlandse voetbal-analisten te zien over deze oproep.

Koop Europees

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

*ONDERZOEK* Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat anderen meer risico lopen om getroffen te worden door klimaatrampen. Zelf zal ons dat niet zo snel overkomen. Dat is de uitkomst van een groot onderzoek dat is gedaan door een team psychologen. Deze hersenkronkel is sterker in Europa dan in Azië. 1/

BANKROTTERKLÄRUNG 🤬🤬🤬 Macht Akademia nur weiter kaputt – dann braucht Ihr Euch auch nicht mehr mit #IchbinHanna zu beschäftigen.

Here’s the ICE goon. They’re telling everyone he was run over and is recovering in the hospital. He’s 💯 not hurt.

My third PhD chapter has just been published, we assessed the impact of Himalayan balsam invasion on riverbank stability. A massive thanks to @zarahpattison.bsky.social @drchrishackney.bsky.social @dralanlaw.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The y-axis (river heatwave duration) is in weeks, not in days 🌍🧪🌡

I love this! Really dislike it when people approach talks as "just dumbing down" everything they usually talk about

Jag kan inte låta bli att tänka: vad hade hänt om Stasi, eller SS, hade haft tillgång till såna verktyg? Mår illa över naiviteten, dumheten, ondskan, hybrisen eller vad det nu är som ligger bakom.

Inget att se här. Bara europeiska regeringar som är på väg att ge USA tillgång till medborgarnas mest känsliga personuppgifter 🤷

New study just out finds “efforts to repress climate and environmental protest are growing worldwide through a combination of new legislation, novel uses of existing legal processes, police actions, vilification of activists and both violence and killings.”

Hoy he descubierto european-alternatives.eu Mi objetivo laboral de 2026 es dejar de enviar 100€ todos los meses en servicios IT varios a los EEUU y que se queden en Europa

Great Christmas opportunity if you search for a #PhD position in environmental sciences: #TERRA is searching for 15 doctoral students filling our first 5 Focus Unit (FUN) projects with life.

Aan het eind van het jaar voegen we traditiegetrouw een nieuw streepje toe aan de klimaatstreepjescode: de reeks gekleurde lijnen die laat zien hoe de temperatuur in Nederland sinds 1901 is veranderd. De streep van 2025 kleurt donkerrood.

Extinction rarely departs with drama, it slips out the back door while we’re still debating the guest list. These records are made official on the Red List. "Conservation failures are often recognised only once they can no longer be reversed." via @mongabay.com: news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Anyone who rapes a captive is the lowest scum imaginable.

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Advice I now give to grad students and postdocs in the sciences: Don’t just try to meet and impress senior scientists. They’ll retire soon. Get to know your fellow students - make friends where possible, be colleagues at least. These are the people you’ll be sharing the field with for decades.

The creepy Joshua Project is an evangelical group with Pence connections with a huge database of "unreached peoples" "prime for conversion to Christianity." They have tons of language data from missionaries that nobody else has. Anyway, I stole all of it. Here's one off-putting visualization
