Clinical use of #psilocybin is legal in Colorado. Here’s a #Science article about psilocybin being effective against peripheral neuropathy. I have PN. I’m going to be responsible and ask my doc about it. Don’t expect a prescription, but maybe an endorsement to see a licensed therapist. What’s to lose? …

Phoenix painted roads white to test the effects. Ambient temps dropped 12 degrees...but pedestrian heat effects *rose* 5 degrees from the increased/reflected radiation.
The problem is cars.

Whilst retagging 600 books in my library application, I noticed basically all recent Science Fiction I read is in some way dystopian. Does anyone have recommendations for not-dystopian science fiction?

"Beyond being a triumph of #Science water sanitation led to a fundamental shift in public expectations. Once people saw that clean water was possible, they demanded it.
Twentieth-century water treatment programs transformed public health by virtually eliminating waterborne diseases. Ventilation, filtration and disinfection provide us with the opportunity to dramatically reduce the bur…

It's as official as it can be: The Yoder Lab has been very fortunate to receive NSF funding, in a project that will develop our TARDIS method of modeling plants' flowering activity in varying environments. Keep an eye out for grad (Master's) opportunities in Fall 2027, and a postdoc position hiring as soon as I manage the paperwork

In case useful for teachers starting the semester, my blog has gratuitous advice on lab notebooks, conference posters, oral presentations, lab write-ups, and plagiarism.

Minor reduction in expected climate damage
#Climate #Science #Permafrost
Of the carbon released by thawing permafrost, deep sea bacteria apparently prefer 'recent' carbon not the thawed carbon.
So a large percent of the washed out carbon stays on the seabed. Versus being processed into gas by the bacteria.
Same can't be said for the direct methane releases unfortunately.

The factors that determine whether something becomes of mainstream scientific interest are only marginally scientific. #science #fashion #funding #prestige

5 researchers were kicked out of the
American Diabetes Association's annual meeting by their leadership for protesting Trump's anti-science agenda.
So they now have 400 doctors & researchers boycotting the ADA.

When people decry the cost of saving a species or environmental studies before construction...or hell mitigating climate change before it kills off so many species.

Judith Curry is possibly the most confusing and infuriating scientist in the entire climatological arena. She contributed to major understandings around the changes in the jet stream, the Arctic, and other processes that helped explain the impact climate change has already had on our day to day weather.
But then she left academia and essentially became a mouthpiece for Neo-denialism, claiming others were being “alarmist” and that while CO2 was the main cause, we really shouldn’t be spending money on reducing emissions.
Her final blog announcing its retirement is an interesting combination of declaring victory, mostly thanks to Trump and his acolytes (like Carney) who have pivoted fully into the arms of the fossil fuel industry, and declaring she was tired of it all and just wants to be in her garden and stop the flow of now $16,000 (!!) to maintain her Wordpress blog for the past 15 years.
She has done real damage to efforts to stop CO2 emissions. But another part of me wonders if this is an admission of guilt. Very often people come to a point, even subconsciously, where they realize they’re in with the wrong crowd.
I wonder if she has had that moment with Trump. She probably thinks it’s all irrelevant and out of her hands now. Other players, namely the oil industry, Trump, Putin, etc. will decide what happens and scientists like her will have no impact.
I am glad she is tapping out, as so many deniers inevitably do, but it is clear she is doing it because she thinks she’s won, and that is very very bad for the world.

On Wednesday, the House of Commons petition #e7465 for reversing the cuts to Environment Canada closed and closed and yesterday it was certified for presentation in the House!
#poolpond, work, family, and other things over the summer I was not able to put much effort into promotion, but we got more than enough for it to be presented! So let's hope it has a good response from Government.
Thank you again for all your help!
