I am pondering my next sabbatical. Do any of you at universities across the globe have programs/fellowships for visiting scholars/faculty from abroad? I'm especially interested in Latin America, Scotland, Wales, England, Japan, Finland, New Zealand, Australia. Thanks! [Reposted from the weekend.]

Campi Flegrei and Vesuvius in the Bay of Naples area are extremely hazardous. Millions of people live in or near restless volcanoes. Not sure if we're looking at a catastrophic eruption in our lifetime, but a repeat of 1538 Monte Nuovo would still be dramatic.

Italy's Campi Flegrei supervolcano is stirring. Could this seismic giant soon erupt?
The volcano near Naples is shaking the ground in a way that scientists say it hasn't for centuries, posing risks for hundreds of thousands of people living in the 8-mile-wide crater left by past erupt...

Fascinating and timely work on the intrusion that preceded the #HayliGubbi eruption - this will turn out to be a very valuable example for volcanologists!
The #HayliGubbi eruption came after a period of unrest that started in June-July 2025 with a large dike intrusion in the southern sector of the Erta Ale rift. Our InSAR study will be out soon but you can have a summary at the link below. @earth-science.bsky.social #geoscience
Basaltic dike in Erta Ale triggers explosive eruption in Hayli Gubbi. Read our new paper!

I've said this before: my dad worked on HAARP. I have a HAARP baseball cap and fleece vest. If it is a secretive super weapon, it has a lot of great swag.
The conspiracy theory that the government or HAARP caused Hurricane Melissa has resurfaced. In this article, I explain away such foolishness and provide 6 reasons some of your friends or family may cling to conspiracy theories. I hope you will read and share this one.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
