Drone's eye view of today's flooding by Gavan Watson, PhD

🛑 CWTS | Leiden University created an infographic that explains flaws w/the h-index, like rendering contributions such as leadership & teaching invisible. ✨Instead, institutions can recognize these contributions through qualitative assessments. 🔗 ow.ly/Kfeu50HTbJc

This isn't getting enough attention yet: For the first time, the IPCC has published **very short Fact Sheets** where you can explore your region's future climate change risks and adaptation options. It's not always comforting, but is impressive work. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2…

Coming up soon at #ACSSpring2022: Simulating a mission to Mars on the island of Newfoundland. Rugged landscapes and infrared spectra of minerals. Join the virtual session at 10:30am PDT or view the on-demand teaser for paper ID: 3649414 Faculty of Science, Memorial University Boyang Gao

If anyone missed my #ACSSpring2022 ACS COMP poster last night, I put together an interactive website that I’m excited about! emleddin.github.io/2022-ACS-poste…

"Viewing burnout as an impetus to explore new and unexpected questions requires [...] a focus on thriving. Is burnout the very signal you need to radically refresh your research into a whole new field? To rip up your old approaches to teaching, and push on to a new pedagogy?"

SO excited to follow Danny Goldstein's blog about best practices for coding as a physicist! Updates on Fridays. danielgoldstein.net/coding-blog/bl…

With severe storms expected, it's a good time to learn the difference between a Watch and a Warning. weather.gov/safety/tornado…

"Although physicists often describe their discipline as curiosity-driven and open to new ideas, demographic data show the opposite, with a lack of diversity in terms of race, gender, and other characteristics." physics.aps.org/articles/v15/44

"Our analysis finds no significant difference between the impact of observing exclusionary behavior and the impact of experiencing it directly: Both are equally likely to cause an individual to want to leave the field." Physics - Wanted: LGBTQ+ Allies physics.aps.org/articles/v15/47

“Mars’s atmosphere, [mostly CO2] adds in another quirk: high frequencies are more strongly attenuated than low frequencies. Trying to talk to someone a few meters away would sound like you were “having a conversation through a wall” physics.aps.org/articles/v15/43

I'm making a map of CaCO3-depositing inland ecosystems... is your favorite travertine, chalk, calcareous, or tufa stream or wetland represented? Lake with whiting events?

"Many undergraduate student researchers will tell you: when they first started, the world of research seemed intimidating. […] that’s why this site is curated for students, by students." Canadian Undergraduate Research Network curn.trubox.ca/discover/what-…

Are there any early career soft matter or biophysics researchers out there who'd be interested in giving a short guest lecture about their work in my Experimental Methods in Soft Condensed Matter class? DMs open!

"We found that veterinary surgeons who felt that sexism is no longer a problem in their profession were the most likely to pay a female member of staff less than a male member and to give her fewer career opportunities." nature.com/articles/d4158…

"Trimming the fat" in an organization comes at a price: "The "rockstars" of a profession usually have someone helping with the domestic labor/mental load. But they also have another secret: they’ve found themselves in a situation in which they’re able to still do *one* job."

Viewpoint: "Please allow me to recover my resilience so I can be the parent, scholar, teacher and leader-and human-I want to be. To do this, I need to heal and to do that I need space; I need debt relief, I need academic restructuration...Please know I would do the same for you."

Hey Jonathan Drake , there's now berg ice in my freezer

The UN #OceanDecade for Sustainable Development aims to foster “transformative” solutions, but many #barriers impede the uptake of research into policy & practice. An EIUI poster at the #ORCA2023 conference outlines a research agenda to address this issue science.gc.ca/site/science/e…
