The data is in.

2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements have been condensed into a single vital number.

I just created a Starter Pack with profiles interesting to science/environmental journalists. Glad to add profiles (once I learn how to do that 🤔)

#teamMassSpec here is a starting pack in case you just moved over, or in case you've been absent for a while. This is #proteomics or #massspec related. The pack is not comprehensive but it's a start.

Newcomers (and existing): a quick post on things you really should do to get the most of this place.

1) Feeds are key. You need to save and pin them (and make new ones as you wish) Ex. Here are the feeds I use. You can search these by name via Feeds -> Discover Feeds -> search.

Exciting news: We’re taking another step to making Bluesky an open network for public conversations.

Around the end of this month, we’ll release a public web interface. With this, you’ll be able to view posts on Bluesky without being logged in on an account.

“Human rights should, can, and do apply to all humans” is not and should not be a radical statement.

The amount of effort that some people go to try to obscure this basic concept is truly wild.

Cis allies: your trans friends need you to step up. Yes, even in the UK.

The transphobic rhetoric coming out the Conservative conference will probably never make it into law, but the damage it does is huge.

Please. Push back against friends with "reasonable concerns". Make transphobia unacceptable
