I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

Harmful algal blooms produce dangerous toxins. Aquatic ecologist Dr. Chris Solomon and @Riverkeeper’s Dan Shapley’s message is clear and correct: “We must take action now to reduce the likelihood of future blooms and increase our ability to respond appropriately when they do occur.”

Aww this is sad. She is in the same realm as Steve Irwin for me, broadened my horizons and curiosity and I'm sure she did the same for countless others as well

This is great to keep in mind! I also try to remember the objectives of the project and if my comments/edits are aligned with those or just me adding my personal preferences.

One thing I always try to do as a reviewer/editor when recommending a change is to think about whether or not the resulting improvement to the paper/software justifies the amount of time I think it will take the author to address it. The bigger the ask, the greater the need in order to justify it.

Transforming Carbon Dioxide into Rocks!? Experiments for Understanding Carbon Dioxide Removal through Chemical Weathering
This paper presents a series of hands-on experiments designed to teach principles of carbon dioxide removal through chemical weathering in middle and high school chemistry classes. Chemical weathering is demonstrated by the reaction of carbon dioxide dissolved in water with basalt, forming bicarbonate. The experiments, which utilize simple materials such as PET bottles, are safe and feasible for classroom settings. Students are introduced to key concepts such as the carbon dioxide solubility in water and the chemical processes that trap carbon dioxide. The experimental design includes continuous monitoring of dissolved carbon dioxide levels using membrane-based carbon dioxide sensors and pH changes to visualize the progression of bicarbonate formation. These activities provide students with practical experience in carbon dioxide removal methods, mirroring real-world geological processes, and enhance their understanding of their part in the carbon cycle. In addition, the experiments also provide insight into fundamental processes of carbon capture and storage based on the chemical weathering of basalt. The accessibility of the materials, coupled with the relevance to current global climate discussions, makes this a valuable addition to chemistry education. This approach aims to fill the educational gap on carbon dioxide removal, empowering students to engage in societal discussions on the role of carbon capture and storage in the fight against climate change.

In the US, PM₂.₅ from wildfire smoke already kills about the same number of people as guns and cars (~40k each), but this will increase significantly with climate change. 😐
Wildfire activity has increased in the US and is projected to accelerate under future climate change. However, our understanding of the impacts of climate change on wildfire activity, smoke, and health outcomes remains highly uncertain, due to the difficulty of modeling the causal chain from climate to wildfire to air pollution and health. Here we quantify the mortality burden in the US due to wildfire smoke fine particulate matter (PM2.5) under climate change. We construct an ensemble of statistical and machine learning models that link climate to wildfire smoke PM2.5, and empirically estimate smoke PM2.5 mortality relationships using data on all recorded deaths in the US. We project that smoke PM2.5 could result in 71,420 excess deaths (95% CI: 34,930 - 98,430) per year by 2050 under a high warming scenario (SSP3-7.0) - a 73% increase relative to estimated 2011-2020 average annual excess deaths from smoke. Cumulative excess deaths from smoke PM2.5 could reach 1.9 million between 2026-2055. We find evidence for mortality impacts of smoke PM2.5 that last up to three years after exposure. When monetized, climate-driven smoke deaths result in economic damages that exceed existing estimates of climate-driven damages from all other causes combined in the US. Our research suggests that the health impacts of climate-driven wildfire smoke could be among the most important and costly consequences of a warming climate in the US.

🧵1/3 Taking one type of vitamin D supplement (vitamin D2) seems to cut the body's levels of another (vitamin D3) that is more easily used, which could render our immune system a little less effective.🧪 #health #vitamins #supplements #immunity

@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd.

We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals.

Please sign up & share! forms.gle/MZTxeQs4UpMr...
Poster for 90 minute workshop on HOW TO DESIGN BETTER EXPERIMENTS, by Mridul Thomas & Ravi Ranjan. 

Details: September 23rd 16:00 CEST ; 14:00 UTC

Description: 

Experimental designs can make or break an experiment. A good experiment has a clear goal and efficiently uses experimental resources to achieve that goal. In this workshop, we will review what experiments are for, basic and advanced principles of designing experiments, and how to use simulations to evaluate designs before actually doing the
experiment. We’ll do a moderate amount of coding in R and so experience with this would be helpful but is not required. We intend to have small-group discussions to help participants develop their own experiments, and encourage participants to think of a specific question they would like to answer with an experiment.
