Evolving intelligent life took billions of years − but it may not have been as unlikely as many scientists predicted theconversation.com/evolving-int...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Billionaires are a perversion. No one should have more than a billion in wealth. Whoever owns the most must have the greatest tax burden; Ownership is an obligation! But the rich get richer; THEY are parasites who feed themselves at the expense of others! #DontObeyInAdvance, #safedemocracy, #resist!

This work was a collaboration between @jmacalad.bsky.social, @adamfrank4.bsky.social, and @astrowright.bsky.social, and started as a series of conversations at the @pseticenter.bsky.social.

Together with @mkeyoung.bsky.social, I had a first go at establishing and analysing a Bluesky network of researchers. Have a look at the top-100 list of most influential researchers, and the mesmerising 3d-visualisation here: lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

We have generated a new graph and list for Bluesky Social which shows where the scientists are congregating, and what research communities are being shaped! mikeyoungacademy.dk/a-global-net... Check out @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.social 's Github here: lassehjorthmadsen.github.io/blueskyanaly...

Calling all biogeochemists! I am co-chairing this theme at Goldschmidt next year. We are looking for more sessions particularly on metabolisms of new phylogenetic lineages, evolution of microbial traits through time, or habitability and bio signatures in other planetary systems. Reach out! 🧪⚒️🦠

Women leave academia at higher rates than men ***at every career stage***, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a @ScienceAdvances analysis finds. 🧪 🧑‍🔬 scim.ag/5pH

I think we’ve learned an important lesson today, which is: If you ever run a media company, do not ever create a situation where your poetry editor might have cause to write a resignation letter, because it will scorch you from the face of the earth.

“…the main reason for the uneven management sex ratio is our inability to discern between confidence and competence. That is, because we (people in general) commonly misinterpret displays of confidence as a sign of competence, we are fooled into believing that men are better leaders than women.”

@jillianmpetersen.bsky.social inquiring minds want to know about the rock... is that blue slag from San Juan? or larimar from the DR?

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) seems like a promising way to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. However, this paper says that to remove 1 billion tonne of CO₂ per year requires land area larger than the entire United States.

Link fixed, please share! The Hendrickson Lab is looking for a PhD student to join our team at @UCNZ as we embark on an ambitious new #phage hunt for marine phages in New Zealand. Join us in Christchurch as a member of this #MBIE Endeavour funded project! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.
