It's the second mass bleaching event to spread
across the globe in the last 10 years
And the worst one on record for the Great Barrier Reef. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi9uFA3-cDE
Today, learn about coral bleaching and the one billion lives that will continue to be deeply negatively affected by these events
with increasing frequency
in the coming years.
This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.
You can help research scientists with observational details.
Today, learn about the 32 U.S coastal cities, affecting up to 500,000 people, that are at an increased risk of experiencing one or more major flooding events in the next twenty years, due to land subsidence and sea-level rise. https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/01/research-sinkingcoasts.html
As it turns out, Jupiters moon #Europa has substantially less oxygen than previously thought. Albeit, it still produces enough oxygen
in a 24 hour period
to keep approximately
one million humans breathing.
Ever wonder how Baleen whales (Blues, Greys, Humpbacks), the largest
and some of the most magnificent animals to ever roam the earth,
produce their highly complex communication sounds and whale songs?
I would like to share a website I found the other day, a digital house of knowledge known as JSTOR!
Imagine having millions of academic articles, books, and crucial primary sources right at your fingertips. Whether you're diving deep into historical documents or exploring contemporary studies, JSTOR's extensive library is rich with opportunities for discovery and enlightenment.
Sharpen your searching techniques, evaluate sources critically, and master the art of citations with ease.
🌐 did you know about JSTOR? Let me know if you have tried to find any interesting discoveries there!

Latest research analysis lend further physical evidence modern humans and neanderthals lived side by side and interbred for several thousand years before neanderthals became extinct.
Orchids Mosses & Ferns—or epiphytes are crucial for Earth’s #biodiversity and play essential roles in #forests around the world. Yet, even those are now under increasing threat via human caused disturbances.
Congratulations to the entire @VirginAtlantic team consisting of researchers from several universities and private companies for successfully completing the 1st transatlantic flight from London to NY in a commercial Boeing 787 using non fossil fuel made from waste fats.
The researchers will be making their exact process opensource for all.
Embrace the beauty of learning every day. Remember, knowledge isn't about knowing everything, it's about the journey of discovery. Stay curious. #lifelonglearning#staycurious
I’ve become quite interested in #heutagogy and #lifelongLearning as a result of my readings this semester. We were allowed to research anything we wished, and I went in this direction. Glad to have found an empirical study article. The majority have been conceptual or theoretical so far. #LTEC#InstructionalDesign
An excellent resource for learning the basics of many #ClimateChange related topics. What percentage of GHG emissions comes from the concrete, freight transport & aviation industries? What is #CarbonCapture? #CarbonOffSets? and much much more!
There are also many lesson plans and activity resources for #HighSchool-#Undergrad level #teachers to help teach climate.
Given that this was a #SOTEU at the end of the mandate, I found it pretty ambitious. What to watch from the #highereducation and #research perspective:
what are the implications of de-risking on research cooperation with #China?
is there any place for soft power in a geopolitical Europe?
Been using #grapheneos for about a week now and I just have to say WOW! I don't think I've ever had an experience on my phone that feels like I'm using my #Linux desktop/laptop. The amount of control this OS gives back to me that google and apple took away is staggering. I know no piece of tech is 100% #private or #secure . But damn is this close!
Passing along another event notice from the Galbatross project (I don't work for them, just love their work):
Martha Harbison & Purbita Saha are presenting a (free, online) workshop on female bird identification, Wed, 5/24, 5pm PST/8pm EST.
I've attended one of Purbita Saha's webinars before and she's very enthusiastic and takes participant questions. I learned a lot! The webinar is planned to be 40 minutes long and will be closed captioned.
