Emprical macro seems the next frontier for ecological economics. Commensurability is how easily we may compare values, and there often isn't a clear conversion.

Gross National Happiness is a nice place to start.

Evidence of lightning on Mars, detected in sounds and electrical signals captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover, is presented in a paper published in Nature. The observations indicate that Mars’s atmosphere is electrically active: spklr.io/63324BVkcs

Detection of triboelectric discharges during dust events on Mars - Nature
The SuperCam microphone aboard the Perseverance rover captured 55 triboelectric discharges during dust events on Mars over two Martian years, providing implications for examining the planet’s surface chemistry, habitability and human exploration.

I mostly see assembly theory in evolutionary operations, though a little in fitness evaluation. How do the 'goals' of the system change as we scale?

And the tide turns back in favour of sponges! One of the longest arguments in evolutionary biology - which came first, sponges or comb jellies - has another twist! This one will run and run!
Integrative phylogenomics positions sponges at the root of the animal tree
Determining whether sponges or ctenophores root the animal tree has important implications for understanding early animal evolution. Here, we examined support for these competing hypotheses by constru...

These are tentative thoughts, but I want to sketch what I think is the strongest progressive case for not only baulking at accommodating the radical right on immigration, but potentially adopting an unapologetically progressive stance, even though I’m unsure all the assumptions hold.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Prof. Axel Becke. What he wrote in this article (pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/arti..., @aip-publishing.bsky.social) is one of the reasons why I decided to pursue a doctorate in #compchem. Our community lost one of its giants

Surprisingly new to play Dishonored again. Any twists had foreshadowing, or slight unease.

I made it through low chaos again.

Though this time I think the heart beat louder in my ear.

Our new paper, MARCUS, is now published @digital-discovery.rsc.org !

Paper: doi.org/10.1039/D5DD...

We built MARCUS - a free, open-source AI platform that extracts the millions of chemical structures trapped in PDFs in minutes instead of hours.

Spent a few nights this week collecting data on the Eastern Veil Nebula in Cygnus. This is part of a huge supernova remnant, the aftermath of a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago.

This is in SHO, a less common choice for this target.

I’ve posted this before, but for people wanting to find slime molds, here is a size reference.

Personally I was only able to find slime molds regularly once I knew what size to look for (smaller than I thought).

With weeks left in FY, US has paid zero toward assessed (membership) contributions to WHO, WTO, FAO, ILO, UNESCO, NATO, OECD, WMO, WIPO & more.

My case for a reboot for $DOOM$.

The doomslayer, spent after his days of waging hellfire, needs a good rest, and a bit of soul-healing.

Over the next 3 months - the minimum required time-off mandated by hellfighters union, he will:

Until it it done.

What if every time we ate a heart, a 'choke, or a bulb, that we prayed for palm, and made some art, or planted a seed.

I'd say the same for hide, or egg.

Scute-in’ along with this Eastern Box Turtle and it was so much more difficult than I thought (and I thought it would be really difficult). My son wanted to help me paint, I promise I don’t paint outside the lines normally.
