At this point I think I may be one of an incredibly small number of people to have read the second Sullivan report in detail. It is uniformly poor scholarship, containing flagrant fabrications and misrepresentations, calling into question Alice Sullivan's ability to conduct basic academic research

April 2025 Temperature Update - Berkeley Earth March 2025 tied 2024 and 2016 for the warmest March on record. 2025 has a 34% chance to be a record warm. The brief La Niña has ended.

April was within a whisker of the hottest April ever (last year)—touching on 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 average.

With 2023/24’s temporary extra warming from El Niño long gone, each month this persists adds weight to the persuasive theory that warming has accelerated.

🚨This needs our full attention🚨

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

We are delighted to share the news that eScience Lab co-lead @soilandreyes.bsky.social successfully defended his PhD dissertation at the University of Amsterdam last week. Congratulations, Dr Stian Soiland-Reyes! esciencelab.org.uk/announcement...

Congratulations Tony, glad to see BioFAIR in good hands!

Some people say that if you publish your research in a diamond open access journal it won't have "impact" 🙄

Yet here's me and my family watching a 60-minute BBC documentary all somewhat spawned by this paper published in Cadernos de Saúde Pública in 2009. Over 1200 citations too […]

Forza: ah, the update alone is 130 GB

CAN bus seems to be differential so could work well on a twisted pair, and according to e2e.ti.com/support/inte... the impedance mismatch is somewhat within tolerance depending on your termination.

in a pure market economy where citation conuts are part of your image, it makes perfect sense to budget cut away research fields that do not get a lot of citations

I welcome a new academic age where we stop this thinking

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

We would still have those little bars on our keyboard but everything would work and you could just fix it with View Codes! (Still used by US lawyers for this reason.. )

Now don't forget about Skype..!
