🧪⚒️ An important discussion. Tests of significance involve subjective choices about the thresholds above which you should start to pay attention - and what are appropriate (stringent) choices in the context of pure scientific discovery may leave us underprepared for emerging, high-impact risks.

Lower the Mediterranean just 110 metres and you can walk from Malta to Sicily. Keep draining and the floor sits on a kilometre of salt from the last time this sea dried out. Data: EMODnet, NOAA ETOPO 2022, ICE-6G_C #geography #maps #ocean

A wedge turns a small push along its axis into a much bigger sideways force. That is why a tiny piece of oak can lock a hammer head onto its handle for decades.

The air force used extensive study of quail before perfecting their pilot ejection tech.

Picked some pomegranates from our tree this afternoon and the seeds look so pretty in my new bowl. It’s the little things. 💗

men will literally bring about the end of humanity as we know it instead of go to therapy and address their misogyny

Some fun observations from the Brallier Fm (middle Devonian). Flute casts on base of turbidites, nautiloid/ammonoid fossils, and higher in the formation we saw sand bars and even an upper shoreface! Found some nice wave ripples along the tops of the clean, qtz arenite beds. ⚒️

Lots of fun at the Diamond in the Rough Rd outcrop of the Hampshire Fm (upper Devonian). I brought a mini pumpkin for scale. Found some chrysocolla(?) within what are likely lungfish aestivation chambers. Plus gorgeous Vertisol microlows/micro highs in 3D relief! ⚒️

Positive photo day 2412: The Ruby-crowned Kinglet that was here flew off just before I took the photo, but I still liked the photo even though the #birds have eaten most of the Pokeberries. #naturephotography #Bronx #NYC @vcpalliance.bsky.social

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

Adding this to the list of AI fails for the information literacy class I teach once I vet the story because this is too ridiculous.
