Well done @madalina.bsky.social @kimdoell.bsky.social and @jayvanbavel.bsky.social for leading the paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (open access)

I always admired the field study award spsp.org/membership/a.... Now is a great time for this shared recognition, as our group is prioritizing behavioral traces, field studies, life cycle analysis / material flow analysis, and other ways to stay grounded in real world behavior and impact.

Will I be the first to suggest the carbon offsets worked exactly as planned: they delayed real action for another 25 years

The Guardian @theguardian.com · 1d

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says

Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions The failure of carbon offsets to cut planet-heating pollution is “not due to a few bad apples”, a review paper has found, but down to deep-seated systemic problems that incremental change will not solve. Research over two decades has found “intractable” problems that have made carbon credits in most big programmes poor quality, according to the study. While the industry and diplomats have made efforts to improve the system, it found much-awaited rules agreed at a UN climate summit last year “did not substantially address the quality problem”.

I never knew how much wild space the US had, particularly in the west, until I moved to Europe. I grew up on European fantasy and fairy tales and I imagined vast, dark forests

Ahh thanks, I see now. You don't believe in a specific circle with named factors and one direction that is the only version of science

Cameron Brick @cameronbrick.bsky.social · 12d

Can't tell if this is just shower thoughts or you mean institutions, regulations, and norms are not constructive in science?

This was a true mess with a ton of AI-generated word salad slop being submitted as preprints. The field owes these moderators a huge thanks for all the work and energy! 🙏👏

Thank you, I look forward to thinking about it

This is very interesting work, thanks Karen. May I ask how you approached the measurement quality of collective action (behavior)? It varies widely and at least in our group aggregating across types (or not) is challenging

Do I know any experienced wikipedia editors? I'm confused about why a submission is being rejected (without specificity as to what content doesn't meet guidelines).

I tried that too, just for fun, and figured it wouldn't fly. Or rise menacingly from the deep.

We're migrating our group's citation management from Paperpile to Zotero. I prefer open-source software that everyone is using, just waited until there was Google Docs integration (yay!).

Super useful: Zotero bulk de-duplicator (I donated) github.com/ChenglongMa/...

GitHub - ChenglongMa/zoplicate: A plugin that does one thing only: Detect and manage duplicate items in Zotero.
