Colonizing With Carbon Credits How tree growth links carbon emissions to imperial capitalism

Carbon credits perpetuate colonial land relations. They often represent pollution created by Global North nations deposited on to land in the Globak South, and Indigenous communities rarely have a say in governance nor benefit from them financially.

Africans survived 10,000 years of climate changes by adapting food systems – study offers lessons for modern times Blending livelihood strategies based on what works at different times in specific environments has been key to human survival for thousands of years.

🧪 we can learn so much from older cultures.

A comic comparing geology (at a geology conference) and desserts (at a dessert conference), showing the same cross-sections labeled with rock layers on one side and dessert ingredients on the other.

Okay, this is hilarious! @tomgauld.bsky.social ⚒️🧪 #geology

I'm fascinated by this study of lactucin-rich lettuce extract for sleep. "Lettuce opium" was used in Europe as a sedative and painkiller. In this study, improvements in sleep time and wake-after-sleep were big enough to make a noticeable difference. 🧪

Two versions of the Mesquite icon. At left is a Mesquite tree leaf against a black background. At right is leaf against a blue sky and sun.

Update! — Mesquite 4.01 released, fixing a few small and one substantive bug (for details see response post). New: NINJA (for neighbour joining), new merge taxa options, node spots, Google Earth mapping. www.mesquiteproject.org 🧪 #evolbio

Penguin Vessel: 1,600-year-old Nazca depiction of a cold-water Humboldt penguin that lives in tropical Peru A rare penguin-shaped pot reveals the Nazca's interest in depicting the wildlife around them.

Repost of today’s astonishing artifact since the image didn’t come through earlier. 🧪🏺

I remember as a life science person starting my PhD, these 2 fellowships were the only feasible options for funding right off the bat, besides specific fellowships from universities. At the end of my PhD I had trouble recommending a fellowship options to students just starting. 🧪

I’ve noticed there has been a general decline in national competitive fellowships open to various fields of study. In my grad school experience (which ended after 5 years this May) the Ford Fellowship ended and now the GRFP has greatly shifted towards a more specific research area. 🧪
