2023 was the hottest year on record. Around the world, it was marked by record wildfires, hot-tub temperature ocean waters, torrential downpours, and non-stop heatwaves. The US had one billion+ dollar weather extreme every 1.8 weeks.

If you can't fit things into your schedule, then you don't have control over your own priorities. How to reclaim your purpose in being a scientist if you can't find time to do what you want to do?🧪
The meeting scheduling crisis is an indicator of a much bigger problem
What does it mean that a half-hour spot on your calendar a few weeks away is such a rare and valuable commodity?

Fun new paper: 'Anoxia begets anoxia' that examines the feedback loop between anoxia, internal nutrient loading, and algal production in temperate lakes. A fundamental concept in limnology examined at a very broad spatial scale.

Lake Baikal is amazing! Definitely oldest and deepest freshwater lake but the clearest? Maybe not... Baikal had 6 to 8m Secchi depths (Izmest-eva et al. 2016 J Great Lakes Research) while Crater Lake's had a mean Secchi of 28m (Larson et al. 2007 Hydrobiologia).
Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia is the oldest, deepest, and clearest freshwater lake on Earth.
It's only about half the surface area of Lake Michigan, but 6 times the volume.
In fact, it holds 23% of all fresh surface water on Earth, more than all the Great Lakes combined.

I created lifeundertheice.org so that folks could appreciate the smallest animals (+ other creatures) that live in Antarctica.
It’s a fun resource for all ages.
There’s tons of life in Antarctica that we could lose beyond Emperor penguins. Their futures are highly uncertain in a changing climate.🧪

Whatever our choices and options, though, it’s essential to recognize that the biggest way to cut your carbon footprint is NOT the most important thing you can do to fight climate change. We need societal change; and for that, our voice is the most powerful force we have.
Forget your carbon footprint. Let's talk about your climate shadow.
To truly evaluate your impact on the environment, you have to go way beyond recycle bins and energy bills.

Interesting post... my role, at a PUI, is defined at 60/20/20 (teaching/research/service). However, service outside of the campus is neither expected nor valued when promotion/tenure decisions are made. So peer-review is 'unpaid' work that the publishers profit from (and volunteer on my part).

It came up again the other day in my social media, as it does regularly: the argument over whether or not we (academics) get paid to peer review. Folks were, as always, in high dudgeon. This argument ...
