Grant-funded labs are incentivized to admit students who already know how to do research to serve as cheap labor. That puts students who’ve had the most access and resources at a major advantage. This shapes admissions practices more than people are willing to admit but yelling about testing is easy

#Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 4th lowest on record (JAXA data) • about 340,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,190,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 2,030,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,770,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Line graph time series of 2024's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between May and August by looking at the decadal average line positions.
