For interdisciplinary scientists lacking a home, one path forward is building a new community of researchers with shared interests, say Laura Vang Rasmussen, @rachgarr.bsky.social, @sofiananni.bsky.social, @nramankutty.bsky.social, & Ariane de Bremond @glp-earth.bsky.social. eos.org/opinions/cre...

Almost as remarkable as the flooding is having a public service that actually functions. There are crazy floods often in the us and people are largely on their own. #climate change

Billionaires are 4,000 times more likely to hold political office than ordinary people. Over half of the world’s largest media companies have billionaire owners. 9 of the top 10 social media companies are run by just six billionaires. 📖 oi-files-d8-prod.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/...

New Oxfam Inequality report just dropped: Billionaire wealth has grown by 80% since 2020. The world’s 12 richest billionaires have more wealth than the poorest half of humanity. Elon Musk is the first ever person to have over half a trillion dollars wealth.

Hello friends! Thank you for all of your help and support. My children were so excited for fresh eggs we were able to get with donations and I would love for them to feel this excitement again. www.gofundme.com/f/reham-and-...

Imagine setting out in a desperate attempt to save your loved ones from starving and being shot in the back as you carry a bag of flower. No, I will #neverforget.

Gutsy and fascinating work developing a chicken pain index, in essence, as a path to more ethical animal-agriculture futures in a protein-hungry world by @cleoverk.bsky.social 🧪🐓. Paper and summary: 🧵

"In total, the Gates Foundation (formerly known as the The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) has donated $3,519,491 to Lomborg’s think tank. The most recent tax filing on record includes a 2022 donation to the Copenhagen Consensus Center worth $1.25 million" - @rtakver.bsky.social, @desmog.com

😢 "Perhaps the most striking findings is that the British public vastly overestimates the cost getting to net zero by almost 14,000%, fueling scepticism & a reluctance to pay. On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to @thecccuk.bsky.social forecast of just 0.2%"

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Can someone please invent an American to British translation device? Basically take whatever an American would say directly and then fluff it up in indirect and passive language. Make sure it throws in an “I’m afraid” at the beginning of every sentence for Oxbridgey types. Thanks!

Though tbh when men yell at me now I do tell them to calm down knowing just how infuriating that will be!

“There is far too much power in the hands of professors in the German system,” says @leising.bsky.social. My latest @nature.com story digs into efforts to tackle the entrenched structural heirarchy that enables academic bullies.

Thank you ETH Zurich for sharing the results of the investigation regarding Tom Crowther, which confirm most of the concerns raised in greater depth. I'm relieved to see that ETH is going to take a closer look at how it oversees and manages the conduct of research groups. ethz.ch/staffnet/en/...
