Here at Curvenote, we’ve been on a journey to create systems and workflows that reimagine scientific communication and collaboration. Over the last five years, we’ve been focused on a universal problem: science is advancing faster than the systems we use to organize and share it.

🚨 The Trump administration is attempting to seize power beyond what the Constitution allows—giving Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, unchecked influence.

As a federal scientist, expert, or civil servant, you have rights. Don’t let them bully you.

To put this in perspective, $288M is only 0.07% of Musk’s current net worth. Yes, definitely “on the cheap”.

We spent the past year analyzing and rebuting arguments that have been launched against misinformation research. In my view, those arguments are important to make, but perhaps even more important to rebut because, as we show, they don’t always withstand critical scrutiny.

So here we go: 4/n

With 17 days to go until the US takeover by the new Trump (or Musk?) administration, I thought it might be worthwhile to share a number of recent papers published by our team that counter arguments that have been leveled against misinformation research. 1/n

At the beginning of my career (late 80s), I built a radiative transfer model to understand the implications of decreased ozone in springtime over Antarctica; MS with the great Conway Leovy. Really amazing to visualize this now in so much detail!

More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born.
Over 80% since I was born.
Over 30% since my children were born.

And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“

Listen to a new episode with @joemacgregor.bsky.social on mapping Greenland's geology below the ice. An impressive story of synthesizing decades of geophysical seismic, gravity, and magnetic surveys together with radar and laser altimetry. Newly discovered: long valley networks, 3 new provinces.
In the podcast, MacGregor describes a new method of visualizing the surface of the ice sheet in which the simulated illumination of a digital elevation model varies according to the direction of surface ice flow. (A) Map of Greenland’s surface shaded using flow-aware hillshade, in which the artificial illumination direction (and corresponding shadows) at each pixel is 90 degrees counterclockwise to the ice-flow direction. The resulting shading emphasizes small-scale variability in the ice-sheet surface slope, which is primarily related to variability in the topography under the ice. The change in shading from the middle of the ice sheet to the periphery reflects the smaller slopes in the interior and the smaller surface bumps induced by subglacial topography, because as the ice thickness decreases, the surface becomes more sensitive to what is going on below. The map is based on the laser altimetry data. (B) The green lines are manual tracings of linear features in the map. GrIMP: Greenland Ice Mapping Project. This is the new geological map of Greenland. It is based on the set of geophysical surveys whose results are summarized in the maps in the previous figure. The geological provinces are colored by age. Three newly identified provinces (unshaded Regions A, B, and C) do not correspond to known provinces of the exposed periphery of Greenland.
