Physics has a reputation for being dominated by men, especially a century ago, as quantum physics was just being invented – but there have been so many women who helped shaped the field since its inception

School/retreat I organised with @intp-science.bsky.social. No publications, big name speakers, $$ benefit. Just people - PhD students, young professionals, academics, independent researchers, activists, artists, +2 teenagers and 1 toddler - exploring science, creativity, and the beautiful Pyrenees 💗
INTP wishes you a great start to the 2025 academic year!
We kicked off with the first edition of the Interdisciplinary Science School last week! 🧪
Ecology, theatre, anthropology, yoga, and more!
✨ Huge thanks to all participants and especially to @estere-sei.bsky.social! 🙏

🍂 Just one week left to apply! 🧪🌐🌍
A fantastic opportunity for students and early-career researchers to dive into cutting-edge topics in theoretical community ecology, exchange ideas, and network with experts in a beautiful natural setting.
Join us for an inspiring week of learning and discussion! 🤯
The program is constructed jointly by the lecturers, revisiting a broad spectrum of topics from niches to networks and stability, in order to emphasize the many explicit or implicit bridges and gaps between leading theoretical approaches.

Reflecting on temperatures over the last three months, all latitude bands observed temperatures warmer than average.

Plot shows zonal-mean temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data from GISTEMPv4 using their 1951-1980 baseline.

C’est ce soir 🪿
Dernière conférence de l’année : L’éthologie presque facile !

Et pas des moindres puisque nous recevrons Agatha Lievin-Bazin qui a travaillé avec nous au café pendant quelques années et qui nous parlera éthologie. On est donc très heureux de finir l’année avec Agatha et des zanimos 🦜

À Jeudi 😉

Every day is a trainwreck for climate science. Stay aware of what is happening, and speak out!

Fortunately, I saved all of these documents in advance of the rumors of the USGCRP being targeted (which I was really hoping were not true).
The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.
