Race, ethnicity don’t match genetic ancestry, according to a large U.S. study Data from the All of Us program confirm what many geneticists have long promoted

More evidence to move away from race.

Not surprising that self-identified latino ethnicity is a broad mixture of 3 ancestries: European, Native American and African. The history of European colonization in America (i.e. the whole continent), including the slavery trade, left traces in our genes.

Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europe’s hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it Parts of the Atlantic Ocean are again much warmer than normal, priming Europe for more extreme heat this summer.

That’s not some tragedy that fell upon the world, but a totally predictable (and predicted for well over 3 decades) outcome of fossil fuel use. It must end very quickly to prevent far worse things to come.

This is a great opportunity for ECR! If you are thinking to apply and have questions, I am happy to share my experience being a #MarieCurieFellow

💰🌍 Research by Sarah Schöngart et al. shows the wealthiest 10% caused TWO-THIRDS of global warming since 1990. The top 1% have an even bigger impact on extreme weather like #heatwaves and #droughts, hitting vulnerable regions hardest.
