Ice Diatoms Glide at Record-Low Temperatures - Eos New observations reveal how microscopic organisms move through polar ice and illustrate how they may have evolved to thrive in extreme environments.

These tiny Arctic organisms glide through the ice at ultracold temperatures, outpacing their temperate cousins by leaps and bounds (wiggles and squiggles). 🧪🦠

Gaza has become journalism’s graveyard. Killing journalists is killing the truth | Anthony Bellanger If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war

The International Federation of Journalists, founded in 1926 and celebrating its centenary in Paris in May 2026, has recorded no comparable death toll since its formation, neither during the second world war, nor in Vietnam, Korea, Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq.

É bellissimo vedere tutte queste città italiane stracolme di gente a manifestare da giorni.

Commuovente. E potente!

"A diverse community constitutes global coccolithophore calcium carbonate stocks"
Three large coccolithophores together hold about half of the global CaCO₃ stock!

We love concrete, apparently. Certo che nel 2025 vedere dei progetti del genere in una città che non respira come Milano...senza un albero...mamma mia è terrificante!

The Art of the Impersonal Essay, by Zadie Smith In my experience, every kind of writing requires some kind of self-soothing Jedi mind trick, and, when it comes to essay composition, the rectangle is mine.

“The essay-writing habits of my school days have never left me.” Zadie Smith shares a writing tip she’s used for decades.

I woke up early and grumpy, so I decided to go for a walk while listening to a random podcast. I love Zadie Smith: this podcast made me laugh so much that a woman asked me what was so funny. The cure for the right “words” described in this episode is wonderful 📚

Transforming Carbon Dioxide into Rocks!? Experiments for Understanding Carbon Dioxide Removal through Chemical Weathering This paper presents a series of hands-on experiments designed to teach principles of carbon dioxide removal through chemical weathering in middle and high school chemistry classes. Chemical weathering is demonstrated by the reaction of carbon dioxide dissolved in water with basalt, forming bicarbonate. The experiments, which utilize simple materials such as PET bottles, are safe and feasible for classroom settings. Students are introduced to key concepts such as the carbon dioxide solubility in water and the chemical processes that trap carbon dioxide. The experimental design includes continuous monitoring of dissolved carbon dioxide levels using membrane-based carbon dioxide sensors and pH changes to visualize the progression of bicarbonate formation. These activities provide students with practical experience in carbon dioxide removal methods, mirroring real-world geological processes, and enhance their understanding of their part in the carbon cycle. In addition, the experiments also provide insight into fundamental processes of carbon capture and storage based on the chemical weathering of basalt. The accessibility of the materials, coupled with the relevance to current global climate discussions, makes this a valuable addition to chemistry education. This approach aims to fill the educational gap on carbon dioxide removal, empowering students to engage in societal discussions on the role of carbon capture and storage in the fight against climate change.

Carbonate chemistry fitness landscapes inform diatom resilience to future perturbations Diatom growth rates are determined by concentrations of CO2 and H+ across broad carbonate chemistry landscapes.

This study led by @aaronferderer.bsky.social tested how 5 diatom species respond to broad ranges of seawater carbonate conditions. Goal was to determine carbonate chemistry niches and to inform Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) and Ocean Acidification (OA)

yet another reason they’re my favorite band… (not that I needed one)

Massive Attack remove music from Spotify to protest against CEO Daniel Ek’s investment in AI military The band cited a ‘moral and ethical burden’ placed on artists by revenue from their work ultimately funding lethal technologies Massive Attack have become the latest act – and first major-label one – to pull their catalogue from Spotify in protest at founder Daniel Ek investing €600m (£520m) in the military AI company Helsing. In June, Ek’s venture capital firm Prima Materia led the defence tech firm’s latest funding round. Helsing’s software uses AI technology to analyse sensor and weapons system data from battlefields to inform real-time military decisions. It also makes its own military drone, the HX-2. Ek is also chairman of Helsing. Unconnected to this initiative and in light of the (reported) significant investments by its CEO in a company producing military munition drones and AI technology integrated into fighter aircraft, Massive Attack have made a separate request to our label that our music be removed from the Spotify streaming service in all territories. In our view, the historic precedent of effective artist action during apartheid South Africa and the apartheid, war crimes and genocide now being committed by the state of Israel renders the No Music for Genocide campaign imperative. In 1991 the scourge of apartheid violence fell from South Africa, aided from a distance by public boycotts, protests, and the withdrawal of work by artists, musicians and actors. Complicity with that state was considered unacceptable. In 2025 the same now applies to the genocidal state of Israel. As of today, there’s a musician’s equivalent of the recently announced @filmworkers4palestine campaign (signed by 4,500 filmmakers, actors, industry workers & institutions) – it can be found @nomusicforgenocide & supports the wider asks of the growing @bds.movement . We’d appeal to all musicians to transfer their sadness, anger and artistic contributions into a coherent, reasonable & vital action to end the unspeakable hell being visited upon the Palestinians hour after hour.
