Rejoice! ESPN has eliminated its paywall on written content
In 2020, ESPN enacted a paywall for written articles on its website. ESPN has now removed that paywall with ESPN+ winding down

Everybody is wondering if some ICE agents are actually just bounty hunters, and that's possible but not super likely. What's much more likely is that a good chunk of the agents deployed today are the American equivalent of Wagner, which is currently named "Tripple Canopy" but you probably know as "Blackwater."
It's reasonably likely that the mercenaries who were grabbing people off the streets in Portland in 2020 are back at it for round 2. After all, this is just another opportunity for Trump to dump money in Erik Prince's pocket and wouldn't it be good for Trump to have a man on his side who happens to own a private army?

Disaster Informatics after the COVID-19 Pandemic: Bibliometric and Topic Analysis based on Large-scale Academic Literature
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric and topic analysis of the disaster informatics literature published between January 2020 to September 2022. Leveraging a large-scale corpus and advanced techniques such as pre-trained language models and generative AI, we identify the most active countries, institutions, authors, collaboration networks, emergent topics, patterns among the most significant topics, and shifts in research priorities spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings hig…

A Generic Construction of $q$-ary Near-MDS Codes Supporting 2-Designs with Lengths Beyond $q 1$

A Generic Construction of $q$-ary Near-MDS Codes Supporting 2-Designs with Lengths Beyond $q+1$
A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n - k + 1]$ is called maximum distance separable (MDS), and one with parameters $[n, k, n - k]$ is called almost MDS (AMDS). A code is near-MDS (NMDS) if both it and its dual are AMDS. NMDS codes supporting combinatorial $t$-designs have attracted growing interest, yet constructing such codes remains highly challenging. In 2020, Ding and Tang initiated the study of NMDS codes supporting 2-designs by constructing the first infinite family, followed by severa…

Van in voedsel tot via de lucht: hoe (een in de EU sinds 2020 verboden) #pesticide langdurige hersenschade bij kinderen veroorzaakt na blootstelling tijdens zwangerschap https://share.google/jINLtgiyYqx2dPD1x

Van in voedsel tot via de lucht: hoe pesticide langdurige hersenschade bij kinderen veroorzaakt na blootstelling tijdens zwangerschap
Prenatale blootstelling aan het veelgebruikte landbouwgif chloorpyrifos (CPF) veroorzaakt wellicht langdurige veranderingen in de hersenstructuur en motorische vaardigheden van kinderen. Dat blijkt uit een nieuwe Amerikaanse studie gepubliceerd in JAMA Neurology.

Green hydrogen development threatens wildlife in Chile
Green hydrogen promoters tout it as the clean energy of the future. In 2020, Chile launched its National Green Hydrogen Strategy, looking to position the country as a leader in producing and exporting hydrogen by 2030 while reaching carbon neutrality. “Today we are taking a new step forward in producing clean energy, protecting nature and […]

Testing Planck 2020 and DESI data on wCDM Models
This work delves into the dynamical dark energy models of the wCDM parameterisation that are defined by their equation of state by comparing different, well-known parameterisation models, in an attempt to lessen the tensions of {H_0} and {σ_8} by using the latest observational data. This research also tested the newer Planck likelihood and BAO data by comparing them to their predecessors. The data that was used were: the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data of Planck 2018 and Planck 2020 dat…

Happy Fifth Gotcha Day to Izzy!
On July 11, 2020, we adopted a very scared spaniel who had spent three months in a high kill shelter in South Carolina raising her four puppies, and then being spayed and treated for heartworms. When she was transported from South Carolina to Washington, she was so scared that she didn't want to leave the crate she had ridden in. Then she didn't want to get out of our car when we got to our house. I had to carry her up the front steps to our hou…

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.

Sorry to miss it in person and that I cannot stay for the panels on: teacher, gender, inclusion, decolonisation, and future action. Lovely to see and hear so many wonderful colleagues even from a distance.
My fun memory was the cartoon by the talented (then PhD student) Kalifa Damani during my talk on silent exclusion at the REAL Centre in January 2020 before the world shut, and many fun moments with Pauline Rose over the years.
Congratulations! The achievements are remarkable.

The z=1.03 Merging Cluster SPT-CL J0356-5337: New Strong Lensing Analysis with HST and MUSE
We present a strong lensing analysis and reconstruct the mass distribution of SPT-CL J0356-5337, a galaxy cluster at redshift z = 1.034. Our model supersedes previous models by making use of new multi-band HST data and MUSE spectroscopy. We identify two additional lensed galaxies to inform a more well-constrained model using 12 sets of multiple images in 5 separate lensed sources. The three previously-known sources were spectroscopically confirmed by Mahler et al. (2020) at redshifts of z = 2.3…

A Demonstration of Interstellar Navigation Using New Horizons
As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft exits the Solar System bound for interstellar space, it has traveled so far that the nearest stars have shifted markedly from their positions seen from Earth. We demonstrated this by imaging the Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 fields from Earth and New Horizons on 2020 April 23, when the spacecraft was 47.1 au distant. The observed parallaxes for Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359 are $32.4''$ and $15.7'',$ respectively. These measurements are not of research grade, b…
