Sobre mérito e academia “STEM ama o mito da meritocracia —mas a verdade? É construída em cima de trabalho não remunerado, riqueza geracional e sacrifício financeiro. Para muitos, o custo de “fazer ciência” é simplesmente muito alto. Isso não é um problema de protocolo. É uma barreira financeira.”

A paper in Nature suggests that the Australian Bogong moth may be the first invertebrate known to be able to use the stars to navigate. Experiments in flight simulators indicate that the insects use stellar cues to help them fly in the right direction. go.nature.com/3ZEaDgG 🧪

This is figure 2, which shows Bogong moth navigation under natural night skies.

Science is not a conjecture of axioms. Science is the best tool we have to better understand reality. When we negate science because it goes against our “identity”, we negate our best understanding of reality. This unfortunately can end badly in many cases. Support Science always!

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

A horizontal bar chart titled "Percentage of Global fossil fuel emissions (since 1751) occurring in my lifetime." The chart shows how much of the total historical global fossil fuel emissions have occurred within the lifetime of individuals of different ages, from 5 to 100 years old. The vertical axis on the left lists ages in increments of 5 years, from age 5 at the top to age 100 at the bottom. The horizontal axis represents the percentage of fossil fuel emissions, marked in 10% increments from 10% to 90%.

The black bars represent the proportion of fossil fuel emissions that have occurred during each age group's lifetime. The bars increase in length as the age increases, meaning older individuals have lived through a larger percentage of the cumulative emissions since 1751.

Three specific age groups are highlighted with red bars and white text annotations:

Age 30: "if you are 30 it is more than 50%"

Age 50: "if you are 50 it is about 75%"

Age 85: "if you are 85 it is about 90%"

The source of the data is cited at the bottom: "CDIAC and globalcarbonproject.org." The graphic is credited to "@neilrkaye."

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
