Bangor University’s Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences (WGSSS) PhD studentships is open for applications.

If you are interested in doing a PhD on disease ecology focusing on data science, health and wellbeing, please get in contact.

I am happy to support students applications.

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

“Conclusion:

After private equity acquisition, hospitals on average reduced salaries and staffing relative to nonacquired hospitals…This decreased capacity to deliver care may explain the increased patient transfers to other hospitals, shortened ICU lengths of stay, and increased ED mortality.” 🩺🧪

Hospital Staffing and Patient Outcomes After Private Equity Acquisition | Annals of Internal Medicine

Background: After private equity acquisition, hospitals may experience changes in staffing with implications for patients. Objective: To examine hospital staffing and patient outcomes in emergency dep...

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature

Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

“Brazilian justices pushed back forcefully. When evidence emerged that the Bolsonaro campaign had made widespread use of misinformation during the 2018 election, the court began what became known as the Fake News Inquiry, in which it aggressively sought to crack down on dangerous misinformation.”

Light pollution is causing birds around the world to sing for longer each day, prolonging their vocalizations on average by 50 minutes, according to a new study in Science.

Learn more: https://scim.ag/3Uz7vzP

A figure showing that light pollution prolongs avian vocal activity by nearly an hour. (A) Most diurnal bird species show bimodal vocalization patterns with peaks in the morning and evening; in light-polluted landscapes (yellow shading), the first vocalizations occur earlier in the morning and the last vocalizations occur later in the evening. (B) Globally—averaged across species, space, and season—onset of morning vocalization shifted 18 min earlier in the brightest landscapes versus the darkest landscapes. (C) Similarly, evening cessation was delayed by an average of 32 min. In (B) and (C), lines are means and shaded regions are 95% confidence intervals (CI) of model predictions.

Dr Paula Vivili, deputy director general of the Pacific Community (SPC), said historically dengue outbreaks were seasonal.

“However, due to climate change, transmission seasons are lengthening, and some areas are experiencing year-round dengue risk,”
