What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

It’s Going to be an exciting year with the installation of a Full duplex directional PIT tag array. We’re going to be estimating in-river and marine survival, evaluating close-kin mark recapture as method to estimate spawning stock size!

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comElon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit YatesIt is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

At our research site we used STARLINK for data transmission. We’ve decided to cancel and move to cellular. Not worth the uncertainty it may get cut off without notice and the fascism free service will also be nice!!

Let’s see how well this Bluesky app works for fish modelling. I want to make a dead recapture CJS model with release location and release size and year as co-variates. Anyone have a useful reference / code they can share?

You are up to date.
