Pleased to announce the 4th major release of the @wsmproject.bsky.social, the biggest update of the database since the project began.
With thousands of new data, the 2025 WSM brings the most comprehensive picture yet of Earth's present-day stress field.

Check out our paper that came out in @science.org today. It uses some really cool experiments to explore the rheology of temperate ice. We find that contrary to colder ice this warm ice has a value of n=1!!

No insight into the earthquakes in California from me, but here are some focal mechanism cookies. Most of them are strike slips but some with non-double-couple component 😉

I was reminded of this great book 'Escape From Model Land' by Erica Thompson that I read a couple of years ago — it takes a very broad view of the term 'model'; i.e., not just sophisticated numerical models but also conceptual models and narratives, the ways we explain the world — highly recommended

Might be a good time to read up on the history of science & how it's fundamentally a social process (as it is carried out by humans) & how it's deeply intertwined with power relations. Decades of literature! Will be super helpful when having (yet another) debate about science and politics! 🧪⚕️🛟

so a lot of people are talking about the 4b movement.
a lot of western women, specifically younger ones, who seem to have largely heard about it through social media via other western, non-korean people, or by articles that cover it with a tinge of orientalist exoticism.
if i may, some thoughts:

If you want to know where young American women are at, the Google search term interest for the 4b movement says it all. (It’s a South Korean term for women who swear off sex, marriage and childbirth with men)

As an old as 👵🏼 PhD the struggle and self doubt is too real. But hey everything I got to do is the wildest dreams of my former self.
I often talk to people who feel like it’s “too late” - too late to change careers, too late to learn a new language, too late to go back to school - and I’m here to tell you that it’s not too late.
