Screenshot of an email announcement on the GDAL-dev mailing list. The subject reads: ‘[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.10.2 “Gulf of Mexico” is released.’ The email, written by Even Rouault, announces the release of GDAL/OGR 3.10.2, a bug-fix version, with download links for the source files in different formats. A humorous note suggests choosing a geodetic datum wisely. The email ends with a link to the sender’s website, spatialys.com, and the sign-off: ‘My software is free, but my time generally not.’

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Yes, we are not objective, BUT "average effect was convincingly negative" is quite enough to me. Different analyses have different interpretations (depending on covariables), so in the end, it is about the story you choose to tell. Important paper to be aware of this but not to distrust scientists.

The biodiversity data deluge is here - the equivalent of #MooresLaw but for biodiversity data? "we estimated that the total number of plant distribution records doubles every 17 years and the number of spatially unique records doubles every 21 years." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... 🌎🧪🦋🦫
patial and taxonomic coverage of terrestrial plant occurrence data. Georeferenced plant observations, as illustrated by observation dates in Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; the largest biodiversity informatics infrastructure), have increased exponentially over the past 200 years (panels a, b), though the number of species recorded in these databases is reaching saturation (panel c). By integrating additional data sources compiled by Botanical Information and Ecology Network (BIEN; i.e., non-GBIF sources comprising ~15 million records; panel d), the georeferenced plant observations in GBIF can be expanded by an additional ~4 million spatially unique records (panel e) and ~20,000 species (panel f). Still, the gaps in plant distributions warrant our attention: areas in Russia, central Asia, and northern Africa (red colour in panel g) are missing publicly available occurrences. The grey colour in panel (g) represents the presence of plant data, and the black colour represents ice-covered areas
