Look at the root base on this giant Tasmanian blue gum that fell - this tree was a victim of bad forest management in Tas, having suffered from forest fires lit by the loggers and eventually being wind-thrown because its neighbors were cut down. 5 years ago swift parrots were nesting in this tree

So, I did a bit of a dig through the quarterly emissions update and the projections, and pulled out a few things. Much of this won't surprise those who follow this closely. But all this stuff deserves continued attention. 🧵 1. Our emissions reductions have basically flatlined since 2020.

It’s finally arrived! This year’s Best Australian Science Writing anthology, edited by @drjr.bsky.social and Carl Smith. Super proud to have a piece in there about the plight of the world’s oldest storytelling scene, which is tucked away in a Sulawesi limestone cave.

It’s very funny how much the current narrative around The Greens is about how extreme they are, and how much more sensible Bob Brown was… when Bob Brown is pleading with them to stop rolling over on issues as fundamental as environment policy

I made a starter pack for neurodivergent people in science! So far, I only added openly ND folks that I follow. But the pack is open to all - no diagnosis necessary. No gatekeeping here. Just ask to be added. Let's get a community and some discussions started 😊. go.bsky.app/JanMsTM

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

A friend has started up an online children's bookshop in New Zealand. All books are selected to be socially concious, inclusive and celebrating diversity. She is an awesome human and this venture has come from her own parenting journey and difficulty in finding such things online. Pls check it out!

Born in 1896, Ida Noddack was the first to suggest nuclear fission. But Hahn won the Nobel prize. Noddack discovered rhenium (atomic #75) & predicted #43, but couldn’t confirm it, so Segrè & Perrier were credited. She tried to speak up that the ideas began with her, but it lost her credibility.
