Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Wow. Let’s hope the peer-reviews are public…
MISLEADING: A new academic paper by @qmul.bsky.social has attracted significant media attention by claiming that EVs & heat pumps deliver no proven carbon savings in UK ahead of 2030 clean power target - and should therefore be postponed.
Here is why this paper should never have been published.🧵

You don't need to end a talk with a written thanks. But acknowledging an audience can mean a lot - particularly if from communities typically left out of research.
If you're a minoritised scholar I recommend being brave and ending with contact information and/or promoting an aspect of your work.

PSA: Do not end your presentations this way. Leave your conclusion slide up instead of wiping their memories with this platitide.

Seriously, a colleague and I are on the same committee. I think we're the ones left standing when the music stopped, but she made a long post on LinkedIn yesterday: "I’m honored to share that I have been selected…". It's had 100 reactions and 15 people saying congratulations and well deserved. Ugh 🤦🏻♂️

Cretaceous seas were inhabited by several Mosasaurus species, not all of them giants.
This is one of the medium-sized Mosasaurus, M. missouriensis, an exceptional specimen found in Alberta. Lizardfish bones were in its gut contents. The prey had been bitten into swallowable chunks. 🧪

I much prefer being around people who try to improve things, even if they ultimately aren't successful, rather than folks who assume nothing will ever change.

I have emailed them that I don't appreciate them adding extra workload on people and then use it for AI training/validation, and have asked them to stop. I have unsubscribed and added them as spammer.
Hilarious:
Is there a participation fee?
"No, there is no cost to you".
My time is valuable.

I received this email too, and promptly ignored it. If it looks like spam, and smells like spam…..
If it’s legit, they have gone about it very badly.

Wow. This is cool!
There’s a statue in Parliament that’s been deliberately left damaged for over a century.
The reason why takes us back to one of the most important protests in British history.
Let me show you one of Parliament’s hidden stories.

I'm gonna need to see the actual CFD simulations, here. The Olympics are so unserious.
