After 18 months of R&D with a team of specialist academics, I'm VERY excited to say that @carbonbrief.org has just launched 'Project Cosmos'... ...the world's largest database of climate research Our hope is this becomes a major new resource interactive.carbonbrief.org/cosmos/index...

two guys named Lorentz and Lorenz came up with an equation and it was corrected by Ericson and her husband Ericson

Today, we are announcing an expanded collaboration with QuEra to bring the first fault-tolerant quantum computer for applications in scientific computing to #AmazonBraket by 2028. Read our full announcement here aws.amazon.com/blogs/quantu...

🚀 AWS and QuEra are bringing the first fault-tolerant quantum computer to Amazon Braket in 2028. QuEra's Libra: 256+ error-corrected logical qubits, one million reliable operations.

This is irresponsible framing. The words "helped" and "provided" imply that Proton did this voluntarily, but they were required under Swiss law. I don't hear any information to indicate that they could have done anything differently. You should clarify this. You're misrepresenting.

I love @404media.co but this framing misses the mark imho. @proton.me’s privacy protections are industry leading. But they operate I a jurisdiction and are required to follow the law. Which means that anonymity can’t be guaranteed if you pay by CC. Precisely the reason Proton supports cash payments

Today is the day to @standupforscience.bsky.social !!

China knows the liability that oil import dependencies create, and how to play the long game. New car sales in China have gone from 6% electric in 2020 to 51% electric in 2025. This is large-scale industrial policy in service of national security goals.

Mass surveillance and autonomous killing should be uncontroversial red lines. Thanks #Anthropic for standing up. notdivided.org

This is a good take

You know, it's funny. Earlier this week I had started to write a follow up to my "Fascism For First Time Founders" post that tried to explain to Silicon Valley how embracing fascists would destroy innovation... but now I need to spend the weekend rewriting the whole thing with a new Exhibit A.

The new season of Silicon Valley is a bit too on the nose

@anthropic.com being threatened for objecting against Claude being used for mass surveillance and autonomous killing (!) is one thing (kudos to them!). But also important to note that OpenAI, XAI, and Google did not.

Anthropic doesn’t want its AI used in autonomous weapons or government surveillance. Those carve-outs could cost it a major military contract.

unitaryDESIGN is officially LIVE 🚀 From Feb 16–27, 2026, builders of all experience levels can compete for 💰 cash bounties, explore open projects, and connect with the quantum open-source community.

Hope is not a plan. Direct action is. Join us on March 7th around the nation! www.standupforscience.net/march7 @standupforscience.bsky.social

AMS is deeply concerned by the repeal of EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, which concluded greenhouse gas emissions harm health and well-being. The science remains clear: human-caused climate change is already causing harmful impacts. Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/4tBwz9w

Thanks to the American Meteorological Society @ametsoc.org for their responsible statement in response to the harmful decision of the USA to rescind the EPA endangerment finding. www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

It’s probably safer than raw bear though

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

New post from my colleagues on the AWS Quantum Computing blog - use hints from quantum algorithms to help classical computers solve hard “best combination” problems more efficiently, by updating related decisions together instead of one at a time aws.amazon.com/blogs/quantu...

This is murder. Everybody can see it.

This week, multiple leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ousted or resigned due to continued political interference and pressure to limit vaccine access – actions that defy the scientific evidence and endanger our health. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Welcome to #AmazonBraket, IQM Emerald! 54 qubits, 99.5% 2Q fidelity, dynamic circuits. Super excited to see this live! aws.amazon.com/blogs/quantu... ⚛️🧪 #QuantumComputing

Just wrapped an exciting capstone project at UW's Quantum Technologies program! Students used Amazon Braket + NVIDIA's new CUDA-Q Dynamics to simulate quantum systems in diamond (NV centers) This is the first time seeing CUDA-Q Dynamics on AWS aws.amazon.com/blogs/quantu...

@mcbride.house.gov I just wanted to say, this was a very beautiful and inspiring conversation with Ezra Klein.

Even after setting the bar really (!) low they never stop surprising me with their level of incompetence. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

We’d love to find more #QEC experts here on BlueSky and have created this starter pack to help connect the error correction community. It’s just a start – if you’re working QEC, please follow this account and message us. We’ll happily add you to the pack! go.bsky.app/RiZfVco 🧪 🧵[2/2]

Always going to share stories about one of my favorite #WomenInPhysics 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪

I am glad that this profile written by Luc Rinaldi for Toronto Life Magazine is out. It is about what I am doing and where I am going. Thanks to Luc for the time he took to write this piece. #chemsky #compchemsky

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Glad to see this response by @harvard.edu. What else is an endowment for if not this www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I will surely come up with something thoughtful to say about the proposal to cut NASA's science budget in half, and especially one that reminds everyone that the cosmos is worth our curiosity and NASA explores it quite cheaply but also, FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's a major cut to climate change science 🧪

Because it's been a shit week, here's some good news to cheer you up. A thread with 10 cool stories from around the world: 1. China now has more #wind and #solar than thermal generating capacity and is installing 1 million solar panels EVERY SINGLE DAY. theprogressplaybook.com/2025/03/25/i...

10. Now free from Russia’s grid, Lithuania is quickly advancing towards 100% renewable power by 2030 theprogressplaybook.com/2025/02/11/f...

NEW | Fossil fuels fall below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record 🇺🇸 Among all the turmoil, some positive news from the latest @ember-energy.org data for March 2025: 🏆↘️ The share of fossil fuels fell to a record low of 49.2% 🏆↗️ Wind and solar power hit a new record high of 24.4%
