Northwestern agreed to pay $75 million to the federal government in a deal reached on Friday with the Trump administration that restores hundreds of millions in research funding and closes multiple investigations into antisemitism on campus.

It's #Saturn ring-plane crossing day! A once in a 13-15 yr event when Saturn's rings are edge on, as viewed from Earth, making them appear to disappear! I'm so infuriated that the Sun is in the way meaning no-one will see it! 😡 We'll just have to imagine it 😞

👇The last time it was seen in 1995. 🔭🧪

We hear a lot about how screens impact our sleep, but how significant is the disruption? And how much does exercise predict sleep quality? This story first appeared in the Body Electric newsletter.
Screens and sleep. Maybe not so bad?

QUESTION: Are starter packs still BIG here on Bluesky?

In the month or 2 of the “Big Migration” from Twitter/X in November/December after the Election, they were huge in growing the urbanist community (I made 5, like this one with @katharinehayhoe.com).

Are new arrivals still using starter packs?

Hah I had a feeling this was the reason! But yayyy happy for the success of MMM AND ADW!
Folks we are getting reports that #2025MMM research at Animal Diversity Web is overloading servers at the Univ of Michigan. Players/learners can use Wikipedia, but with the warning that it is not always going to be as scientifically-evidenced as ADW- a classic tradeoff between speed & accuracy!
