Before Europeans landed in North America, the Pacific Northwest was populated by the Coast Salish people, who had been here for thousands of years. During the 19th century, many made a living by selling woven blankets to traders. The blankets typically featured geometric designs.

At the risk of adding something constructive to this thread, we need to quit it with the naive folk-Popperian caricature of science as an exercise of pure reason unconnected to human motives and start teaching the social process of science in high school if not sooner.

Writing a literature review is thinking. It is reading, choosing, summarizing, cross pollinating ideas and building the foundations for your own research. Every part of that process is necessary to do on your own--offloading any of that onto LLMs is a sign of a crappy academic.

Something to remember is that the Techbro billionaire class were rarely the actual tech pioneers. They're the ones who bankrolled it, or engineered a controlling share interest.

They're just Railway Robber Barons 2.0.

It's why they're crap at actual tech. Their 'skill' was money, timing or theft.

great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.
screenshot from the article: Other disciplines that have experienced male flight include: Biology. While most STEM professions remain male dominated, 10 years ago biology became a 50/50 male/female split. By 2022, 62% of biology majors were women. Biology is now often considered the “easiest” of the STEM majors. Interior Design. William Morris is considered the father of interior design. After finishing his education at Oxford, he began an architectural design school called “the Firm”— just for men. Many universities had interior design programs. Until women began to enter the design space, at which point it was relegated to a mere “hobby.” Since the influx of women, interior design programs have been pulled from almost all universities. Teaching. In the 18th century, schooling in colonial America was reserved for the white and the wealthy. Most tutors were men who taught boys. By the middle of the 19th century, girls started becoming students and women became teachers. Consequently, men swiftly left the profession, the pay dropped and teaching was no longer considered a prestigious occupation. Similar patterns of male flight have occurred in nursing, cheerleading, social work, architecture, gymnastics, library sciences and psychology.

How does PRC1 counteract transcription?

See this preview from @adrianbracken.bsky.social and I on an exciting new study from @robklose.bsky.social lab where they show ncPRC1 blocks the early stages of transcription.

Is there an urban conservation starter pack? 🌆🌃🏙️

If you are a researcher or a practitioner working on conservarion problems in urban areas, please comment!

Maybe we can create a starter pack!

I’d love to follow more people doing urban conservation.
