I find this super strange when chemists, of all people, complain about the temperature source and mode for reheating a non-volatile aqueous solution. Perhaps they should stop putting animal milk in it. Go on. Cancel me.

Huh! I didn't know that. In 1969, they also opened the "Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre". I don't think there is anybody who could tell if they were being serious or exceptional pisstakers when they made that decision.

You mean the PM who went to swim in the sea against the advice and never returned? This is in the country that registers hundreds of coastal drowning each year.

📕 NEW BOOK!!! 📕 I co-authored a book for DK, contributing several chapters, including ones on stratigraphy, climate change, and key events in Earth history 🌍 Aimed at a very broad audience, the the illustrations are simply incredible 🥰 I hope I didn’t mess up or leave anything important out! 🙏🏾

RIP Prof Jason Arday. The man was pure kindness, the hounding that precipitated his death is out. The community is hurting @blackinplantsci.bsky.social support every black scientist that perform above and beyond to gain a bit of respect. The truth; this fight is uneven and some are silenced #sad

Don’t forget the ‘scrutiny’ he got from a whole spectrum of academics. Even some “well meaning” anti-racist scholars were so quick to go on the record as if the allegations were all true. No regard for the human being being thrown under the bus.

If anyone asks why women tend to be cautious (if not worried) about Al based tech, here is the simplest answer. None of the “good use cases” will legitimise AI whilst these things continue to happen.

I’m afraid this comes from a total lack of awareness of what has changed in the past decade. Previously, there were no mechanisms for diagnosing this in adults whilst kids were often turned away. It’s strange when people see a genuine improvement as a backward step. It’s in the news in NZ this week.

We use it for registering pre- and post-expansion image volumes of the same structure that then allows us to map where the misregistrations are.

Still find it hard to believe that Cofnas said that under a true meritocracy black people would "disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment"…

Talk about being completely out of touch with their user base. There are still so many spam bots here. I suspect many of the Bskyers are also just one flinch away from dumping this and finding the next platform. The downturn of Twitter still feels rather fresh.
