What's happening to Antarctic sea ice extent isn't getting enough global media attention. And by "enough" I mean none. Nothing. This ongoing and dramatic collapse is completely absent from today's news. Yesterday's sea ice extent was 4.02σ below the 1991-2023 mean (1-in-34,000).

Wetlands in Spain’s Doñana National Park are drying up due to groundwater demands from agriculture, tourism and drought. Scientists report that 83% of the wetland’s ponds are flooding less extensively and for less time than would be explained by climate. go.nasa.gov/3Xqo01y

News Media acts so nonchalantly about the fact that a gigantic swath of boreal forestland in North America is on fire right now, with smoke choking out cities hundreds of miles away. THESE FORESTS ARENT SUPPOSED TO BURN. We are the next mass extinction event.

A movement (perhaps revolution) is starting! #JBI leading current critical discussions/decisions in Ecology & Evolution. Neuroscience (Elsevier journal) had their entire editorial board quitting together to start a new journal with non-profit MIT press.

I, along with 85% of #JBI AEs, am on a work stoppage as #AssociateEditor of Biogeography.News because Wiley prioritizes profit over access & journal quality, creating barriers to equity and publication - particularly for #ECRs and peers from the #GlobalSouth #BetterPublishing

I recently heard that someone had asked PloS One to add suppl. material in spanish, as their research would be of particular use to health workers in Latin countries. The journal said no to bilingualism in the article, not even as sup. mat.Similar experience, but with Acta Trop.

PhD student UC Berkeley Gabriel Trujillo was killed while collecting plant samples 🌱 in Mexico. We need the Mexican government to fully investigate and get justice for Gabriel and his family, and for all researchers who are targeted while doing fieldwork. (1/2)

The heart of a blue whale, which can weigh in excess of 1,300 lbs (590 kg), is the size of a small car. The gigantic heart beats 8 to 10 times per minute, and each heartbeat can be heard from over 2 miles (3.2 km) away. Their arteries are so large that a full adult-sized human
