The pressure to publish in high-impact journals is often at the expense of other scholarly activities

Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia
A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science.

As the climate data for 2024 continues to arrive, I've updated my graphic showing changes in various climate indicators for the recent past, and the last 2000 years.
Most notable change is a big jump for tropospheric temperatures (TLT) in 2024.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
