Solar: main source of EU electricity in June with 22% In the second quarter of 2025, 54.0% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources, an increase from the 52.7% registered in the same quarter of 2024. This increase was mos...

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet.

If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S.

Notice from Alachua County Public Library in Florida that Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is suspended due to federal cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)

Federal cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) hit locally. You can't get a book/resource that isn't in the county library anymore.

You may remember that @msimonovich.bsky.social and I had jobs funded by IMLS in the past... perhaps it didn't mean much then, but does now.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Full statement bit.ly/47YsgwI

Use of paracetamol during pregnancy unchanged in the EU | European Medicines Agency (EMA) Paracetamol medicines can be used in pregnancy, in accordance with official recommendations

Paracetamol remains an important option to treat pain or fever in pregnant women.

Following rigorous assessment of the available scientific data, we find no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children.

NEW in Nature Climate Change - Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change, by GeoGators Catherine Lippi, @sjryan3.bsky.social and colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NEW - The attribution of human health outcomes to climate change: transdisciplinary practical guidance, recently published in Climatic Change by @sjryan3.bsky.social and colleagues link.springer.com/article/10.1...

OPEN ACCESS in The Lancet Planetary Health: Priority climate and health modelling needs, by @sjryan3.bsky.social and colleagues www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Great to see our new paper "Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change" out in print today in @natclimate.nature.com, which builds on our landscaping project on climate-health attribution a couple of years ago, funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social

📈Climate change-driven summer heat led to an additional 16,500 deaths in 854 European cities, a new study led by the Grantham Institute and the @lshtm.bsky.social estimates 🧵

Watch Dr @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @ic-cep.bsky.social & @gkonstantinoudis.bsky.social explain the findings.

Stoked to be part of this awesome group and study "Priority climate and health modelling needs" just out in @thelancetplanet.bsky.social.
Thanks to @wellcometrust.bsky.social for hosting the meeting where these ideas were spawned.

Opinion | University Trustees Have Their Heads in the Sand Radicals run wild because those in authority came for status and consensus, not seeking a fight.

@napaaqtuk.bsky.social you will be devastated, I’m sure, to hear our former UF president is not a fan of a recent Nature paper. www.wsj.com/opinion/univ...

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing.

Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

This morning I'm thankful for singing cicadas - what @sjryan3.bsky.social calls "shiny screaming tree robots".

Come and be our new Chair of Biology at @gtsciences.bsky.social! We are growing an incredibly exciting ecology and evolution group here at GT and would love a visionary eco-evo minded person at the helm to help us do that. Please spread the word!

How reaching net zero could cut global fuel costs by $1tr a year New modelling from BloombergNEF suggests investing just 0.7 per cent of GDP in the net zero transition could unlock huge financial savings - and avert a rolling climate crisis

Net Zero: saving our world and saving money. Now there's a win-win - if only voters knew about it.
