UK Asks People to Delete Emails In Order to Save Water During Drought
As Britain experiences one of its worst droughts in decades, its leaders suggest people get rid of old data to reduce stress on data centers.

I think all the time that this is the "science reform" we need to be having. Discrimination in science probably costs us more in scientific insight and scientists' well-being than anything else. AND these toxic patterns are not independent of fraud because toxic cultures create fraud pressures
We've been waiting for this report from NSF for many months — results of a survey on sexual harassment at US Antarctic stations. The numbers aren't good, but at least this problem is out in the open & starting to be tackled. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Sexual harassment is rife at US Antarctic research bases, fresh survey finds
More than two-thirds of people polled had witnessed sexual harassment or assault on the ice.

I have just returned from a visit to the Ocean University of China, Qingdao. It was an incredible place to visit and I learned a lot about the city, the university, and Chinese culture. Very lucky to have been invited there!

After today's talks, the #art exhibit of the Bridges #MathArt conference has opened. Like the conference papers, all exhibited artworks are openly accessible online. While they are better in person, you can find their digital representations here: gallery.bridgesmathart.org/exhibitions/....

Plus he was first to discover a deterministic system which exhibits chaos in the 3-body problem- where small changes have huge impact
