Jordan is amazing and persistent and also deals with a ton of abuse from feral cat advocates. It’s a tough gig but he’s doing awesome work!

Aloha and congrats!! Hilo is a lovely town and Hawaii island has fantastic snorkeling (in my limited experience) and hiking. I work with the USDA-NWRC folks in Hilo sometimes and they are a great crew.

modern academia: "you have to work 80 hours a week to succeed! grindset!!!" one of the most cited guys in science:

a screenshot of the Wikipedia article on Godfrey Hardy (of the Hardy-Weinberg Principle): "Hardy preferred to work only 4 hours every day on mathematics, spending the rest of the day talking, playing cricket, and other gentlemanly activities"

Big new @adriftlab.bsky.social paper - we show for the first time that plastics affects seabirds at the POPULATION level. Plastic ingested as a chick reduces recruitment of birds to the breeding population. And the story is pretty grim. 🧵 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

“You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

New from @mongabay.com: Iran's scientists and conservationists — like the team behind AvayeBoom Bird Conservation Society — have kept working through the war, but the conflict has only exposed long-running isolation from global funding, training and collaboration.

War reveals the isolation of Iran’s scientists

The smiles on the faces of Iman Ebrahimi and his colleagues in the photograph are revealing: After more than a month of war in Iran, a tenuous ceasefire in mid-April offered a brief window for the…

comments on the IG post of this story are all deeply angry at the tenants because “if they can afford $14k rent then they’ll be fine” while somehow entirely missing the point that a 71% increase in rent is fucked up no matter how much you’re initially paying

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

I am sorry that this person lost a friend but how is your main takeaway from this “bikes are children’s toys that don’t belong on the road” and not “we should make roads safer for bikers and other forms of transportation”????

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

A screenshot of WhatsApp:

Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question.
Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)
