@cdarwin@c.imThe DoJ civil rights division has seen dramatic changes since Trump came back into office last year and installed Harmeet Dhillon, a former Republican Party operative in California, to lead it.
Dhillon has fired employees in droves,
pushed out others through separation incentives tied to pressure campaigns,
reassigned staff
and rewritten the mission statements for each section in the division.
She has vastly reshaped the types of cases the office pursues

@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialThe last resorts for unaffected forest in the word are constantly reduced. None of them is left in Europe. The last one was in Romania, but it disappeared by 2013.
The leading drivers of reduction changed from timber harvesting and agricultural expansion (2000 to 2013). Yet since 2020, fire has become the leading driver. Also the proportion of intact forest landscape reduction caused by mining, drilling and exploration has increased substantially.

@netzschleuder@social.skewed.depsi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

@cdarwin@c.imHalf a dozen years ago, Anthony Fauci was as popular as he would ever be.
A respected physician and researcher for decades, he became in 2020 the public face of the pandemic response
—calm, confident, and reassuring, a symbol of scientific authority.
And the country turned him into a folk hero.
He was on the cover of Time, named one of People magazine’s People of the Year, and played by Brad Pitt on Saturday Night Live.

@NuclearDisorder@mastodon.socialHeute vor 25 Jahren: Am 10. August 2001 wurde Reaktor 2 im #Kernkraftwerk #Philippsburg nach einer Abschaltung mit zu niedrigen Wasserständen in den Borwasser-Tanks gestartet. Trotz Alarms ignorierte das Personal die Gefahr, die Tanks wurden erst am 12. August befüllt.
