Let’s go @lzdarkmatter.bsky.social! 4.5 sigma (i.e., first robust statistical evidence >3 sigma) for coherent neutrino nucleus scattering from an astrophysical source. Oh, and the world’s leading limits on low-mass WIMPs to boot. This experiment is ready for discovery with plenty more data to come!

Thought someone was having a bonfire but apparently the smoke from the wildfires on the North York Moors has reached us here in York. Blimey.

"The findings could also mean that the land carbon sink – which normally removes billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year and is essential for meeting climate targets – is weakening decades earlier than expected"

New one (for me) at conference this morning: mainstream economist in the audience said that climate adaptation should be done by mass migration to northern regions that "benefit" from climate impacts. Readers: I fucking lost it. 💀😡💀😡💀😡💀😡💀
