Autistic voices in higher education: lessons from U.K. geoscience students to inform inclusive practices for neurodiverse learners - Discover Education Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition which can affect communication, attention, perception, and cognitive processing, and thus has an impact on learning in higher education. This study inv...

“The lesson of 1933 is you get out sooner rather than later.”

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each April from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in April 2025 was 1.22°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Last month was the 2nd hottest April on record globally...

It was also separately the *warmest* April for global land areas and the 2nd warmest for global ocean areas.

How little we’ve seen: A visual coverage estimate of the deep seafloor In decades of deep-sea exploration, humans have observed only 0.001% of the deep seafloor, leaving 66% of planet Earth unseen.

🌊 Just how much of the deep seafloor have we seen?

A new study estimates that only 0.001% of Earth's deep ocean floor has been visually explored – an area smaller than Rhode Island.

Aa the ice sheets melt, it slightly impacts the Earth's rotation:

More ice at the poles? The Earth spins faster

More water near the equator? The Earth spins slower

Gym mirror selfie. A tall, white masculine person with curly dark hair and stubble takes the photo, the phone obscuring most of their face. They are topless, their body facing right. Around their neck hangs chest-length leather necklace with a metal arrowhead pendant.

Ice sheets are so large their gravity raises nearby sea levels, causing a slight bulge as water is drawn to the sheet

Highly recommended read (and watch)! "True inclusivity requires vulnerability. It means being open to correction. It means welcoming the possibility of being wrong, with grace."

Sign the Petition Red Aardwetenschappen aan de VU!

For the VU, not all is lost yet, staff and students are still fighting (article in Dutch): nos.nl/artikel/2566...

There is also a petition that people can sign: www.change.org/p/red-aardwe...

Although generally speaking, yes, NL is becoming an increasingly uninviting place for scientists.

About 1 in 100 people are transgender. While some complain about the "surge" of people "suddenly" identifying as trans, statistically there should be so much more of us out there...

For me personally it's an amazing feeling to be able to be this person for someone else. For a long time I did not believe I would make it here.

On the other hand, it says a lot about queer visibility and representation that they have to employ their second degree network to find someone trans.

The kid of a friend of a friend just came out as trans. So friend 2 is asking friend 1 if friend 1 could ask me if the kid and I could have a call because they don't know any trans people yet 🥹

Hi #SciComm community - I've have week of leave to work on my FloodSkinner work. I want to learn Canva to improve my design work - any tips on where to start or good tutorials? Is it worth subscribing to the paid tier?

A new David Attenborough documentary is always an event, but I think that Ocean really is something innovative and different. I've seen some clips, and it tells a critical & unseen story (plus spectacular photography, of course). It'll be in cinemas from May 8th. Do go!

Yes, I'm scared as hell and no, I haven't slept, thanks for asking. So if you like to play a round of public speaking fear bingo (shaking, sweating, "eeeehhhm", ...) come along!

#EGU25 Today it's finally time for the scientific presentation! How can we use satellites to measure beach elevation changes over time? It's at 10:55 in room -2.92. I'm trying my best not to talk of "flying space boxes", promised.

Already the preparation was a lot of fun. Try it out yourself! splasho.com/upgoer5/

#EGU25 Looking forward to the up-goer 5 session (10:45 Pico spot 3) where we explain science using the 1000 most common English words! My story is about how we can see how high the ground is near the edge between huge water bodies and dry land :D

Interested in signatures of floods and droughts in #GRACE data and derived fluxes? Come check out our @g.egu.eu poster(and its alignment) at 10:45 at X1.78. or check out the work at the git repository: github.com/SedighehKari...

Thank you both for the initiative! Very sad I couldn't join, ironically my social battery was empty. Looking forward to future activities :)

our #egu25 neurodiversity network event filled my heart

the uplift from hearing similar experiences, that you're not alone; the will to support & create together was incredibly motivating.

Find your people.
