The New World asked me to speak to some British trans women about what life has been like for them over the past few years - here's what they had to say, in their own words: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

The news this week was upsetting on a personal level, and reading this by @iandunt.bsky.social was just what I needed 🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧 iandunt.substack.com/p/thank-god-...
This is one of the reasons why areas with lots of immigrants are more successful than ones without. Partly it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, of course - immigrants go where there's jobs and there are jobs in successful areas. But there is something else. There is a specific kind of energy which comes from a population which aspires, from people who want things badly enough to uproot their life and go somewhere else and damn well try to get it. People who move. People who have the gumption and the conviction and the basic inner disposition to get up and move and get what they want, knowing full well that many of their neighbours back home will resent them and many of the locals at their destination will reject them.

I've had 3 requests to review journal articles in the last week, which is not that unusual these days. Is this normal for a scientist approaching mid-career stage? Or is it a consequence of editors trying to have gender-balanced review panels in a field where women are underrepresented?

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.
A picture of the earth showing the pacific ocean. You can see hawaii and New Zealand. Also the edge of antarctica, australia, and north and south america...but barely.

The best-selling motor vehicles in the US and UK for 2024 are both made by Ford, but that's where the similarity ends.
The image shows a side-by-side comparison of a Ford crossover and a Ford pickup truck, highlighting their height and length dimensions. The crossover is in silver, with specified measurements of 1.537 m in height and 4.186 m in length; the truck is black, and 1.961 m in height, and 5.89 m in length.

Hi Bluesky! We have a paper out today in The Cryosphere: doi.org/10.5194/tc-1... about Antarctic sea ice trends in observations and climate models (+huge thanks to co-authors, not on BlueSky) (thread: 1/6)

Brief communication: New perspectives on the skill of modelled sea ice trends in light of recent Antarctic sea ice loss
Abstract. Most climate models do not reproduce the 1979–2014 increase in Antarctic sea ice cover. This was a contributing factor in successive Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports allocat...

This is true between fields as well. A few years ago at an interdisciplinary conference the West Antarctica scientists and the AMOC scientists really freaked each other out. But everyone was pretty chilled about their own science.

All of this is great. Equal parts realism - 1.5C is a pipe dream - and optimism: we've already avoided the worst case scenario. Even within my career the perception of RCP8.5 has changed from the default outcome, to not worth modelling any more. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For ECRs publishing can feel like a race and reviewers like those trying to trip you up before the finish line. But science is about going far, not about going fast. Your reputation is built on your written word. Be meticulous with it! And use reviewer feedback to further elevate your science.
