Wow.
Love this!
Driverless cars have to prove that they meet strict safety standards, including protection from hacking or cyber threats before being allowed on roads. AI tools that enable harassment, humiliation, abuse and hounding of women require no such guardrails. www.ft.com/content/60e2...
Solution is betternagricultural practices AND better pesticides that are laser focused at protecting crops against very specific bugs and diseases while also not hurting these beneficial bug bugs we all need. Is it hard? Yes. Can we figure it out and do it? Yes.
Close. Paper says, “Habitat loss by conversion to intensive agriculture is main driver of decline.” Pesticides not main driver.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I have not had time to storm to look into anything.
#BreakingNews: Several backcountry skiers are missing after an avalanche in #CastlePeak around 11:30.
Don’t blow away @norcalstormchasing.bsky.social!
Winds are picking up over Donner Pass as the leeward low forms in the Great Basin. Gusts of 25+ mph making for brief whiteout conditions. Much stronger winder expected Tuesday with gusts of 40 to 60 mph a high possibility.
I sure hope so. I really miss all the powerful content and collaboration. I would pay money here on Bluesky to have that back again.
Next pandemic is gonna be lit 🔥
We’ll all be chugging protein drinks and swallowing deworming tablets and talking about “that which cannot be named” while our social media feeds tell us that anyone who died did not do enough push-ups…
Mary Hannah Fulton (May 31, 1854 - January 7, 1927) was a medical missionary of the North American Presbyterian Church. She practiced medicine and missionary work in Guangzhou, China for a long time. She was the founder of the private Xia Ge Medical College, Yuji Hospital and Duanna Nursing School.
I wonder if Arthur Smith thought he was talking with “heathens” or some rando editor added that to the description of the picture? My great, great grandmother was in China dying that time founding the first medical school for women there:

The pattern doesn't get much better than this for Sierra Nevada snow. A series of storms moving out of the Gulf of Alaska *should* track just long enough over the Pacific to pick up plenty moisture. First storm Tue-Wed before pattern gets cranking Valentines Day. 5-10 feet on table thru ~Feb. 22.
Our paper modelling transmission risk in schools is published in Nature Communications. **The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools** doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Good point! Wow.
That’s unexpected. Nice find! Sharing this with my employer so we can get AI note taking turned on by default company-wide and share this as our reasoning. Love data like this. Thanks @amydiehl.bsky.social for posting this!
Study (N=160K mtgs) finds that when AI notetaking is used, women spoke 9% more than men. Perhaps because people are more aware of what they say when it is being captured. But men still used non-inclusive terms (swear words or "you guys") 2x more than women. www.thepersistent.com/when-ai-is-l...
One of the things I was most worried about is starting to come to fruition.
RFK Jr. will succeed in eliminating all of our vaccines if allowed to remain in office. His disinformation campaign and the falling demand for vaccines will cause American companies to stop making them.
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

MUST READ thread before Monday night's forecasted G4 / SEVERE geomagnetic storm. Auroras could be seen as far south as the U.S.-Mexico border at times. Widespread mid-latitude displays are possible. Here's what you need to know to have a successful aurora chase tonight! 🧵

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org
religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...
I consider the White House’s interactions with Ukraine, Russia and interest in annexing Greenland to be “involved with Europe.”
Except Trump is involved in Europe so I don’t think the Monroe doctrine works here?
Warm and caring produces better financial returns than ambitious and competitive under certain marketplace and workplace conditions. Board members would be wise to consider this more often when hiring for executive leadership roles.
Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/
So might Xi Jinping now think it’s OK for PLA special forces to hit #Taiwan and kidnap Lai Qing-te for his “crimes”? #China
Traffic control concrete baubles in #Beijing getting the winter crochet cover treatment. They’re lovely eh! #China
Older women's authority in the workplace is not presumed & must be re-earned. They must be not be “angry” or “difficult.” While older men age into bluntness & are accepted for their lack of tact, women of the same age are often punished for speaking their minds. philanthropywomen.org/feminist-fun...
