Madhav Gadgil, who died last month, was an influential Indian scientist whose ideas were shaped by his exposure to culturally + ecologically important fig trees. I wrote about how these extraordinary trees informed a vision for people-centric conservation. planetficus.substack.com/p/figs-fores... 🌏🧪

Alex Pretti took care of veterans as an ICU nurse. “He was a super nice, super helpful guy – looked after his patients," said @dimitridrekonja.bsky.social, who worked with Pretti both at the hospital and on scientific research. "I’m just stunned.”

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake rattled Salt Lake City on Thursday. Although large earthquakes are (eventually) expected on the nearby Wasatch Fault, this event occurred to the east, near the intriguing Bear River Fault Zone. Was it responsible? We take a look.

Given the horrible murder today this is a minor thing but, as scientists and teachers, we need to continue to educate.
Immigration officers in Minneapolis are now using a weapon that’s unfamiliar to many protesters: grenades that spew a noxious green gas.

These grenades contain worrisome chemicals.
What's the deal with that scary-looking green gas ICE is using in Minneapolis?
There are toxic ingredients in all of this stuff, but looks may be deceiving.

“A newly discovered form of deception is more convoluted yet: The larvae of blister beetles emit a mix of volatile scents that resemble a flower, attracting bees. The beetles then latch onto the bee, hitch a ride to its nest, and eat the eggs.”

My entire life, whenever there's been a school shooting, the NRA has dispatched quick reaction teams to make sure the massacre of children didn't result in stricter gun control laws. Just a fundamentally rotten organization filled with despicable, soulless people.
The NRA’s Sudden Concern for “Tone”

After a legally armed nurse is killed by federal agents in Minnesota, the NRA’s response isn’t outrage. It isn’t grief. It isn’t even curiosity. It’s a lecture about “lowering the temperature.”

Interesting to see India's NCERT launching a 24-week free sociology course on SWAYAM. Digital platforms are democratizing access to social science education globally - curious how this will impact sociology enrollment and engagement at the secondary level.
