Hi bubble, Can anyone recommend a US customs broker for handling samples shipped on dry ice (non-commercial)? We're sending RNA to JGI for sequencing and they recommend working with with a brokers so the shipment does not get held up in customs. Any experiences?

That's not that long 😟

How long have you had it?

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

There's this trope that you have to be so into your PhD topic that you live and breathe it and can't possibly stop thinking about it, so here's your regular reminder that passion is good, but burnout isn't. It's okay and recommended to take breaks, enjoy the weekend, and treat a PhD like a job.

Dame Atwood weet het weer als geen ander glashelder te verwoorden.

Streit über Kandidatin für Verfassungsgericht Diese Akteure stehen hinter der Netzkampagne gegen Brosius-Gersdorf Die vorerst gescheiterte Richterwahl hat die Koalition beschädigt. Vorausgegangen war dem Eklat eine orchestrierte Aktion von Abtreibungsgegnern, rechtspopulistischen Medien und dem Umfeld der AfD. Hatten sie Einfluss auf die Union?

Was viele nicht zu verstehen scheinen: Hier wurde ein Drehbuch durchgespielt, mit dem Ziel, eine für die AfD und damit für die schwarz-blaubraunen Träume gewisser Kreise bedrohlich wirkende Richterin zu verhindern und ein nur der AfD nützendes Kulturkampfszenario nach US-Vorbild durchzuziehen.

Congratulations! I'm happy for you and it's really nice to know that this is still possible.

To Home a tissue box cover that is 3-D printed with the tissue coming out of the top that changes colors very very quickly from layer to layer to make it look like rainbowINSAR. There is a script “Tahoma“ with Mount Rainier underneath in the style of Forest service signs.

Heads-up! I just posted a new batch of Lawetlat’la (Mt St Helens), Tahoma (Mt Rainier) and Erebus (Antarctica) scale model 3D-printed volcano tissue box covers in my shop. This is the first time Tahoma has been offered in InSAR colors.

Die Uni Göttingen hat sich da definitiv nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert. Aber immerhin ist etwas passiert 🤷‍♀️

Das geht aus dem Text nicht hervor, aber es ist kein Verweis auf das frühere Urteil, deswegen vermute ich das das ein anderer. Da wurden zwei ziemlich zeitgleich suspendiert.

Bundeskabinett stimmt Gasförderung vor Borkum zu Das Bundeskabinett hat dem Abkommen zur Gasförderung vor der Nordsee-Insel Borkum zugestimmt. Umweltschützer sorgen sich um das Wattenmeer.

"Wir stecken mitten in der schlimmsten #Dürre seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen, und Friedrich #Merz will im Wattenmeer - und bald auch am bayerischen Ammersee - nach fossilem #Gas bohren.

Das ist wie Feuerlöschen mit Brandbeschleuniger.“

Der ausländische Gaskonzern kann kommen & die Nordsee plündern. Es ist eine solche Bankrotterklärung, für die Energiewende, für den Klimaschutz, den Meeresraum & die Insel Borkum. Diese Regierung hat nichts verstanden.

Time series of average daily high temperatures in Western Europe during June to August from 1850 to 2024.

Western Europe summer high temperatures have increased ~2.6 °C (4.7 °F) during just the last 50 years.

That's in a world with only 1.4 °C of global warming.

Great collaboration with many cool people (that are not on bluesky) including @cwmsoils.bsky.social

This is the gender balance that I want to see, so many brilliant and inspiring women 🤩
Also excited to hear more about what you discussed!

Plants and a big box on the seats of the co-driver.

Had some extremely busy last weeks:
Submitted a big and exciting research proposal, ran my first half marathon across scenic Øresundsbroen 🏃‍♀️🌉, and moved back to Germany.
I'll miss my wonderful friends and colleagues in 🇩🇰🥺, yet I'm excited for all the things to come, especially long summer holidays!

In the face of anti-science politics, silence is not without cost More scientific leaders need to speak out about anti-science agendas and threats to academic freedom across the world.

Having the freedom to defend science is a privilege. Those who have it owe it to everyone the world over to make their voices heard

What's Really Warming the World? What's Really Warming the World? Climate deniers blame natural factors; NASA data proves otherwise

10 years ago today, we dropped a thing that people still ask me about regularly.

The question "What's Really Warming the World?" still has the same answer.

Limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5 °C est désormais impossible Selon un collectif de scientifiques, l’objectif fixé par l’accord de Paris en 2015 ne pourra pas être atteint en raison de l’incapacité des pays à diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

- oui, on peut.
- mais pourquoi on le fait pas?!
