This is a shock, Jane Goodall (1934-2025) has died. One of my dad’s cousins knew her & would regularly give me updates on her adventures & chimps. She was a great force for good & part of my childhood. 91 is a good age, but it’s personal when your heroes die.

Speculation about electricity demand from data centers is arguably the biggest driver of fossil fuel expansion in the US. Glad to hear that Rhodium will analyze the range of data center demand pathways this fall, but meanwhile simplistic projections like this confuse more than enlighten.

Curious about which fields poast the most?

Medicine / Social science / Environmental science / Biochemistry

Note that these aren't corrected for field size, so love the strong showing from earth science too ⚒️🧪

We are facing global consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, & pollution. To feed an additional 5.5 billion urban people this century, we must transform the unsustainable agrifood system.

Not enough people recognise the #RESEARCH that goes into making such period-based drama.
And certainly not enough people care to appreciate it!
#SaareJahanSeAcchaOnNetflix is a MUST-WATCH series...

Please help in connecting Food Safety experts & advocates on this platform. We need to find a way to more proactively, connect you all here on Bluesky. It's important. Create Starter Packs, encourage one another to do the same, share & boost one another. I'll help! 💙

@markruffalo.bsky.social Thank you for producing (and working in) Dark Waters (2019). There are SO MANY amazing screenplays that discuss serious and sensitive realities, but very few producers with the courage to bring them to the audience. May you inspire #Indian producers too! #Bollywood
