So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz's decision reflects his dissatisfaction with the current political climate and his pursuit of democratic values.

Love to see such pure creativity, very beautiful painting!

Today in sunny Amsterdam we kick off #ModBioTerp, my 3rd Marie Curie Doctoral network as coordinator. 10 PhD students will model, characterise and finally enable (we aim to) product prediction of #terpene synthases. Together with some really cool people we will dive into carbocation #chemistry

A recent Science Immunology review discusses the mechanisms by which dendritic cells influence anticancer cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses. #science #geoscientist #metascience #planetaryscience #climatechangescience #climatescience

Will Australia’s new government listen to the science? “Our national environmental legislation has largely failed to protect biodiversity, including many threatened plants, animals and ecological communities.” theconversation.com/5-things-we-...

Despite 3 years of fawning, uncritical coverage of Dutton by the ABC, Seven, Nine and Ten AND blatant barracking by NewsCorp, the Coalition failed to win govt. Dutton offered tabloid trash fear-mongering hate-filled divisive bigotry, rather than a quality policy platform. #auspol #AusVotes25

In the journal Science, researchers describe in detail a nanometer-resolution reconstruction of millimeter-scale fragments of the human cerebral cortex, providing an unprecedented look at the structural organization of brain tissue at the extracellular, intracellular, and subcellular levels #Science

Good news for today! The @agu.org and @amspolicy.bsky.social are teaming up to support climate science in the US and fill the vacuum left by the cancellation of the support team and dismissal of the authors of the Sixth National Climate Assessment. More from @drshepherd2013.bsky.social here:

Container ships can get tracked by anyone with numerous apps. The yellow triangles are container ships. Here is a comparison between Long Beach and Mexico right now. There is a dramatic drop-off in container shipments to the US.

Last week I was playing around with a new "tree ring plot" to visualize daily global temperature anomalies from ERA5. I thought it would be neat to make a version of the plot for daily global absolute temperatures (rather than anomalies):

It really is!It feels warm and fuzzy to see everyone putting aside their differences and working together to help our country.

A great discovery.

Scientists have developed a wearable DNA hydrogel-based sensor that detects bacterial infections in wounds even before visible signs are present. #Science

This is also not a dire wolf, even if it looks kinda wolfy. It’s Sinonyx, a 56 million-year-old meat-eating mammal from China that had little hooves on each toe. #FossilFriday 🧪

A study in Nature suggests that humans were living in the wet tropical forests of Africa as early as 150,000 years ago, representing the earliest known evidence for humans in this habitat type. go.nature.com/3Da89OW 🧪 🏺
