right, so, some quite insane professional news from me: last month I went to Paris to interview Gisèle Pelicot about what happened to her, and what her life looks like now - out in print on Sunday

One month left to submit a comment to NSF about their threat to dismantle NCAR. AGU has a great tool, below. This was easy to do and you can help flood the NSF inbox with messages about how important is it to keep NCAR together! agu.quorum.us/campaign/154...

NSF's graduate research fellowship (GRF) program is designed to teach aspiring scientists how to write a winning grant proposal. So why are so many applicants being denied that learning experience? www.science.org/content/arti...

That's a lot of stacked bars.

I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

Small note for journalists covering the Endangerment Finding repeal tomorrow: because of lawsuits, long time windows, and changes of administration, none of the EPA's regulatory actions based on the Endangerment Findings ever took effect.

Pinus radiata releases seeds when the temperature goes above 45°C (113°F). Sometimes that threshold temperature can be reached by passive solar heating of the cones if they are exposed to sunlight on the tree or on the ground. They can open even without fire. #Pinaceae #serotiny #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

A study in subarctic Iceland finds microbes hoard nitrogen under higher temperatures, with effects on the whole ecosystem.

Microbes form “living” rocks that use a complex network of metabolisms to sequester carbon.

Renewable energy is the way to go.

Carbon uptake, storage, and allocation patterns contribute to blurring of annual 14C signals in tree rings 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #TansleyReview by Hessl et al. @WIleyPlantSci #PlantScience

Delighted to present this... you watching Tim Cook???

I've seen several Big Climate Accounts™ post about how the recent winter storm was made worse by climate change. It's a convenient narrative. s But what is "worse"? Colder temperatures? More snow? More freezing rain? Is there any primary literature supporting the idea of worse snowstorms? 1/
