🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
How does chemistry shape the ocean’s iron cycle?
In our new study, we show that the chemical diversity of organic matter controls how iron is stabilized or lost in the subsurface South Pacific Ocean.

Chemical controls on iron distributions across the subsurface South Pacific Ocean
Iron and nitrogen are the primary nutrients that limit productivity in the ocean. While nitrogen cycling is largely controlled by biology, iron cycling is strongly determined by chemistry because iron...

Breaking news: The Environmental Protection Agency has ordered scientists in at least one of its research offices to immediately pause almost all research and stop publishing their studies.
EPA tells scientists to stop publishing studies, employees say
Staff from the EPA’s Office of Water were summoned to a town hall meeting this week and told to pause the publication of most research, pending a review.

Exclusive: Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call for retraction of vaccine study
An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

Beautiful blog post by @hectorsocas.bsky.social where he argues that the “alien ship” idea for 3I/ATLAS is an example of poor scientific reasoning: post-hoc coincidences, cherry-picked data, and unfalsifiable claims. On the contrary, useful science requires predictive, testable hypotheses.

Observation of charge–parity symmetry breaking in baryon decays - Nature
The LHCb experiment at CERN has observed significant asymmetries between the decay rates of the beauty baryon and its CP-conjugated antibaryon, thus demonstrating CP violation in baryon decays.

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently.
