Our goal was to create a biogeochemical model without hard coding negative feedbacks to learn *all* of the ways planetary habitability could be maintained. Check out our work, which was led by Dr. Preston Kemeny (blame him for all the math) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Dahl Lab โ€“ Science

Check out this Postdoc and PhD fellowship in Geobiology with Tais Dahl at the University of Copenhagan. PhD is focus is on the deep time carbon dioxide record and opportunities to come to Syracuse to work on the nano-EA. Postdoc has a focus on uranium and redox. See the links to here: geobiology.dk

Pumping milk at JPM was a nightmare. Itโ€™s part of a bigger problem in the industry Pumping milk at JPM was a nightmare. Itโ€™s part of a bigger problem in the industry.

At JPM, biotech & healthcare's biggest conference, @statnews.bsky.social reporter Tara Bannow found the single lactation room locked all but one time she tried to use it.

The explanations for the situation (which ended up with her pumping in a bathroom stall) are mind-boggling and dismissive:

New paper, full of lots of meandery meanders, led by PhD student Cole Speed. We are using a graph-based approach to track channel migration on the Trinity River, Texas, and to look at how cutoffs change the migration patterns and rates. ๐Ÿงชโš’๏ธ www.lyellcollection.org/doi/abs/10.1...
