Banksy: Fifth London work in five days appears in Walthamstow The image of two pelicans fishing has appeared above a fish and chip shop in Walthamstow.

I have no opinion on Banksy, but has anyone else noticed that this week's run *does* have a matching number of animals for each day of the week? When you count the 3 thieves + 1 wolf = 4; 3 fish + 2 pelicans = 5. So likely the theft was indeed a stunt? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bluesky is now open. Science Twitter, here’s how to use it! The once-great science twitter is, depending on who you talk to, either dying or dead. Once a vibrant place for many discussions related to my fields of marine biology, ocean conservation, and publ…

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter.

Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪

AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium Researchers used AI to design a new material that they used to build a working battery – it requires up to 70 percent less lithium than some competing designs.

Using AI in physics to help avoid environmentally damaging lithium mining: 🌳👍 “The methods here are bleeding edge, in terms of machine learning tools, but what really elevates this is that things got made and tested” 🧪

How Rewilding Redonda Island Saved Species From Extinction | Avocado Green® Magazine Re:wild helped save species on the small island of Redonda from the brink of extinction — and created a blueprint for rewilding and conservation efforts on a global scale.

Here's some good news: since 2016, the island of Redonda (in the Caribbean) has bounced back from being nothing more than a rat-infested rock to a true wildlife haven. magazine.avocadogreenmattress.com/rewild-redon...

‘Staggering’ green growth gives hope for 1.5C, says global energy head IEA’s Fatih Birol says uptake of solar power and EVs is in line with net zero goal but rich countries must hasten their broader plans

Some reason to be hopeful. 👍🌳🧪

Royal Society aims to boost number of black scientists The Royal Society's scheme comes after black scientists tell the BBC they feel unsupported and overlooked.

🧪 Five young black scientists a year will get up to £690,000 in research grants over four years from the UK Royal Society. www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

Also, I bet those eye coasters follow you around the room

Maybe that's what happened to that guy in the chair?

Damn, I have some serious dictionary envy. (Yes, that is the first thing I noticed - what? 🧐)

I’m hiring PhD students and postdocs to my new extragalactic stellar streams group U. Copenhagen. Please reach out if you have any questions and share this if you know anyone who might be interested.

Forgot the 🧪🔭 not a reflex yet
Share your tips to combat stress in academia - sounds like a good convo to have as we're headed towards the new academic year.

If you're a PhD student (new or current) feel free to ask anything in the comments and I'll make a reply post to each in the coming week ❤️

Tells you something about the fab team at IOP that a colleague is missed so much in these wonderful comments: rememberancebook.net/book/dens-mi... I knew Dens for only one month in 2000, but she made a big impression. And I will miss seeing her name in every issue of Physics World. 🧪

Hi to #editors new here! Feeds of interest:

Editors of Words (use #AmEditing): bsky.app/profile/did:...

I am so sad to hear this. Dens was the heart of the PW team back in 2000 when I spent a month on a placement. She was easy to talk to, right on your level, but incredibly hardworking and conscientious. My thoughts are with you all and her family. ♥️

UK rejoins EU science research scheme Horizon UK-based scientists and institutions will have access to the £85bn fund from today.

Good grief, I still use my Zen MP3 player - they made things to last in those days.

And this! https://goodfeeds.co/

Useful place to find feeds: https://bsky.global/feeds

Huh. Works for me. It's set up by @loripax.bsky.social, so you can just go to 'Feeds' on her profile page and find it there.

Oh, and have you found the #amediting / Editors of Words feed yet? https://staging.bsky.app/profile/did:plc:thqvmqvxhwkmz7sxwsy2yqfy/feed/aaada7tt2g4sy

The people here are actually *helpful*. 🙂

Yes! Is there a physics feed yet?

Yes, me too. I love helping those authors in particular as it's really rewarding helping them to successfully get their work across to as many readers as possible. The best part of my work, really. 🙂

Mine is set up with the dvorak layout, but still has the qwerty keys (I touch type). Sometimes I forget when someone else uses it and they get all confused when they peck out dfhs$t 😂

Non-native English speaking scientists work much harder just to keep up, global research reveals Our research found non-native English speakers face higher rejection rates and 12.5 times more revisions than their native English-speaking counterparts. But there are solutions.

"Scientific work conducted by non-native English speakers has been, and will be, imperative to solving global challenges" 👏
