This is such a good story of how random interaction can lead to potentially huge impact from new science

It’s on one of the major frontiers of science- understanding the soil that grows pretty much all our food

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome
think this is sort of interesting as actually.....no you probably didn't need to do "more research" into it? you just had to trust the state and local authorities to know better than you when it came to vaccinating your child? not good that the internet has killed faith in institutions!

Many ecologists seem to be rallying to the politically-led aligning of nature recovery with economic growth

But with only vague notions about nature’s economic role

Degrowth is what is needed from the rich nations - to really allow nature to recover

Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help
Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon economic growth as an objective.

The Trump administration is set to incinerate nearly 500 tonnes of emergency food, enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week. Despite repeated requests from USAID staff to distribute the food intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, they did not receive approval.

🧵 Just finished reading Upgrading Democracy by @pollycurtis.bsky.social at @demos-uk.bsky.social .
It’s a sharp, hopeful intervention in the face of democratic breakdown, and it aligns in profound ways with the epistemic collapse I’ve been tracking in my own work.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.
