I reread your words, Emma, and they are so clear and true. I see them as a love letter of the deepest kind, a woman of courage measuring her love against the vastness of its tragedy. I wish I had words to comfort you. Perhaps there are no words, except to say that all of us who read your letter can feel the love you have for your husband, and for a while we sit with you, in recognition and love.

Love, Nick

"It's never too soon to switch". Electrify the Ao/NZ transport fleet now! #NZpol The climate benefits of retiring a fully operational internal combustion engine vehicle | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Electric vehicles (EVs) produce much lower emissions of greenhouse gases than internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), but when in the life cycle of an ICEV does it make sense to replace it with an EV? Campbell and Geyer conducted life-cycle analyses of different vehicle types and concluded that the energy impact benefits from swapping an EV for an ICEV begin to accrue as early as the first day of the life of the ICEV, and that replacement early in the life cycle consistently provides reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Financial considerations will also affect when people choose to make the replacement, of course, but from the perspective of emissions, it is almost never too soon to switch. —Jesse Smith

The NZ guvmint closed the Marsden Fund (primary funding agency for bluesky research), to create a new fund (with greatly reduced $) with this aim. What could possibly go wrong? #NZpol NSF makes billion-dollar gamble on research with an economic payoff | Science | www.science.org/content/arti...

The initiative sparked a furor when it emerged that NSF was diverting money from other research efforts to fund it. And in a radical shift by an agency best known for funding curiosity-driven research at universities, NSF has emphasized its desire to fund a new cadre of nonacademic players, leaving many academics wondering whether they should even bother to apply.

AI in scientific publishing: Slower, worse, and more expensive | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If the scientific community fails to address the influence of AI, then authentic research and validated findings will slow down to an expensive trickle into established knowledge, and the opportunities for flawed or fabricated information to be seen as reality will grow—all while AI profiteers cash in.

A year ago, ministers met to consider tightening NZ’s pay equity law. Their decisions went further than officials had advised, hardening the policy to the point some groups were cut out from ever making a claim. Why? And on what evidence? They won’t show us. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
