New @ScienceAdvances research finds that Tyrannosaurus rex was warm-blooded, according to enamel isotopic data from three T. rex teeth. https://t.co/5bu3Y0hcGB

[CNN @CNN]

Scientists have suspected for nearly 60 years that Tyrannosaurus rex was warm-blooded.

Now, researchers have put a number on just how warm tyrannosaurs likely ran: about 97 degrees Fahrenheit, or 36 degrees Celsius, similar to humans. https://t.co/JHUzALaVGU

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.

As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.

First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.

And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.

In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.

Here's the bottom line:

Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!

But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.

That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.

If your preference is your own race, it’s fine.
If you love someone from another race, suddenly it’s a fetish?

We invent rules that don’t matter.
Find someone who loves you the way you love them.

You’re the one building a life with them, not the people criticizing you.

Stochastic and deterministic sampling strategies for diffusion models produce strikingly different trajectories, but both ultimately achieve the same aim.

I had a great time presenting our work, Diffusion Explorer, this week at IEEE VIS in Vienna.

When I went into science 35 years ago, I was extremely idealistic. I believed that being a scientist required the highest moral standards, that scientists cared only about advancing human knowledge & benefiting humanity, & made sacrifices for it. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
