We've got ISSUES. Literally.
We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

In 1990 I taught an Environmental Geology class for the first time, & for that class I put together a lesson plan showing how U.S. control of fossil fuels was the main incentive for the Persian Gulf War. In 10 days I'll teach the same topic for the same class, just using a different place.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Always one of my favorite moose photos. I had been getting some nice photos and she'd been ignoring me as best she could but, moose are kinda very private animals and she finally straightened up and gave me a look.

Spent all day working across QGIS, R, and ArcMap trying to join attributes by location for a single, albeit large, dataset. In the end, R provided, but what a waste of time.

I like the announcement that the kings cancer treatment was being reduced (is that because he’s terminal or better?) immediately followed the one that Andrew would not be investigated for alleged smearing of an Epstein victim. Well played Royal Family.
