Hey #econsky we're launching "Local Economies, Global Perspective" - interactive, annual measures of GDP at the 1, 0.5, and 0.25 degree level! We're making all data and documentation available TODAY! bfidatastudio.org/project/loca...

I fully agree. A truly discipline changing moment. After 13yrs of working in synthesis science this is special for human evolution research and beyond.

I'm on route home from the absolutely amazing @icarehb.bsky.social #HEIRS opening symposium heirs.icarehb.com. HEIRS is the hub for Human Evolution Research Synthesis - IMO a truly visionary and timely science initiative.
