Thanks to the Nature team for digging into this. Apportionment is one of those inside-baseball issues that I hoped never to need to learn about... But here was are.

Since there's been so much interest, here is a KGW segment from a few years ago about Steve Terrill, his son, and their experience at Mount St. Helens during that eruption weekend.

Enjoy; it's an incredible story.

What research exists on the presence of 6PPD-Q in different environmental media? A systematic map protocol - Environmental Evidence Background Automobiles are ubiquitous in the modern world, and chemicals leaching from car tires and from the tire wear particles produced during driving can be toxic to the environment, particularly ...

Thrilled to share my PhD student Sultan Aljohani's first first-author pub! 🎉 A systematic map protocol on 6PPD-Q — a toxic tire-derived chemical — across water, soil, sediment & air. First of its kind. Open access. 🚗💧

Study in Nature that just came out shows a 51 PERCENT drop in Dementia post Shingrix vaccine. That is earth shattering. 19% drop was reported from the older+ less effective vaccine given up to 2019. Whew. So glad I got mine already!

Aquatic reflectance derived from Sentinel‐2 Multispectral Imager data for inland waters in the conterminous United States Satellite-based earth observation is a robust tool for tracking change in ecosystems. While terrestrially focused applications of remote sensing have empowered wide adoption for research and manageme...

A challenge to remote sensing of #lakes #wetlands #rivers is that many of extant satellite products are corrected for land, making water signatures muted because water is dark. We constantly hear about how we need an aquatic reflectance product. So, we made one. doi.org/10.1002/lol2...

What a fun morning read! Thanks @andreamatranga.bsky.social

Investigating the mechanics of tyranny. Seeing how it works means finding way to stop it. Read it and call your electeds.

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Wow, absurdity continues...

Delightful human! Worth watching the whole interview..

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half

Her mother risked going into work when ICE took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16yo daughter and the 3mo baby

The teen tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

Thank goodness! Now for all the others!!

Took me way too long to realize that its super easy to just merge pdfs in R rather than fussing with Adobe #rstats

library(pdftools)
pdf_combine(
input = c("file1.pdf", "file2.pdf"),
output = "merged.pdf"
)

Here is the judgment (with no date issue): storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am an associate professor & public health is considered a social science at my college, so as far as I can tell, I am qualified to submit a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. I will nominate the people of Minnesota for their courageous & peaceful exercise of their rights against gov’t violence

cosigned. this is def worth watching. very good, methodical breakdown of what happened from a person with a military/DHS background.

“I live on a rural island in Alaska, reachable only by plane or boat. In our little town, 50 to 100 people stand outside each week at our town's roundabout to protest and hold vigil and stand in solidarity with you. We hold signs supporting Minnesota and demanding ICE Out.”

I feel this so strongly. I don't know how to keep it together in this split screen, crazy world!

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

These guys do great analytical work...

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators filling the streets with signs and banners

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Had completely missed this yesterday but it's an excellent example of the fact that they are MUCH weaker than anyone has behaved for the past year.
