⏰New paper⏰

Proud to be part of this work led by Alex Quizon & Sierra Petersen where we show that most snails (we tested) precipitate their shells in isotopic equilibrium with seawater, enabling climate reconstructions like the one published earlier this week.

Clumped isotope thermometry (Δ47) measurements in marine gastropods suggest equilibrium precipitation
The clumped isotope paleothermometer (Δ47) has been used to reconstruct temperatures from various biogenic carbonate archives. Calibration studies dem…

Long but very good:

"An essay on wank"

It names and identifies one of my least favorite genre of posts – finally I have a proper term for it!

I'm sure I've been guilty of it too in the past, so it's useful for self-regulation, too.

An essay on wank | deadSimpleTech
This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it says what it facially does, but also not push too hard or at all, because challenging the factuality or other face-value elements of the statement is a personal attack on the person saying it and their identity. I'm sure we've all been in such situations, unfortunately, and we can all point to lots of situations where wank is prevalent in our current society.

Transferring seismo-tectonic studies into hazard studies is very important, although often neglected by us, researcher in university lab.
Here is our the new paper by S. El-Kadri, our former PhD student, about seismic hazard in Lebanon and surrounding areas:

Implementation of an interconnected fault system in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): the Levant fault system
Abstract. The Levant fault system (LFS), a 1200 km long left-lateral strike-slip fault connecting the Red Sea to the East Anatolian fault, is a major source of seismic hazard in the Middle East. In th...

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Fabulous post by @randomwalker.bsky.social & Sayash raising the same concern many of us have about whether we're on the right track with how we're using AI for science. Everyone should read it, take a deep breath & think through the implications.

Hi @thefosterlab.bsky.social, not sure who to ask, but here it is:

What would it take for Geochemical Perspectives Letters to accept manuscript submissions in formats other than MS Word? Or even better, having a LaTeX/Typst template (Typst please please please)?
