Oh, I knew only about Haenyeo divers in South Korean Jeju island. I've seen them prepare and dive on several locations and, by the looks of it, none of the women were <60 yo. I never knew Japan has similar traditions.

This Book Helped Save the Planet—but Created a Very Harmful Myth It radically shifted the way the world looked at the environment, but created a wave of misinformation we’re still dealing with today.

Rachel Carson’s *Silent Spring* spurred vital environmental reforms but also sparked chemophobia—fear of synthetic chemicals as inherently harmful. This myth endures, fueling misinformation, “natural” product hype, and mistrust of science. Remember: The dose makes the poison.

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

So nowadays even Springer translates mathematics textbooks by AI and admits it.
"This book was first published in German. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content."

First-Ever Amber Discovered in Antarctica Shows Rainforest Existed Near South Pole Imagine a time machine that could whisk you back to the age of the dinosaurs.

Scientists discovered amber in Antarctica for the first time, dating to 83–92 million years ago. This reveals a mid-Cretaceous, conifer-dominated rainforest near the South Pole, showing Antarctica was once warm and wet and hosted resin-producing trees, offering new insights into ancient ecosystems.

I've just noticed you can geoencode your Lightroom photos with furlong/fortnight speeds! Very useful! ;)

An Ultra-Precise Clock Shows How to Link the Quantum World With Gravity | Quanta Magazine Time was found to flow differently between the top and bottom of a single cloud of atoms. Physicists hope that such a system will one day help them combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of…

Physicists have measured the difference in the flow of time to the millimeter, between the top and bottom of a cloud of 100,000 strontium atoms. This allowed the researchers to discern a difference in time experienced by atoms at the top of the cloud and at the bottom due to the effect of gravity.
