One of my personal favourites. A figure we did in Chapter 1 of #IPCC #ClimateReport showing the five considered scenarios, the timings peaking and halving CO2 emissions as well as when they reach net-zero. Together with @ed_hawkins beautiful stripes.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

The new IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) provides an unprecedented degree of clarity about the future of our planet, and the need to reduce – and ultimately eliminate – our emissions of greenhouse gases.

In this thread I take a look at some key findings from the report: 1/27

@SadBoyVincent My scheduled talk is Thursday morning at 10:50am on the animal behavior society website, but if you don’t have a membership you can just watch it for free on my own website~

Hey y’all, feel free to tune in Thursday morning for my talk at #ABS2021, or watch it whenever you like on my website: https://t.co/k89EMHlynH. In short, we found that short-term proximity can promote the development of new, long-term grooming relationships in vampire bats :)

[Imran Razik @irazik]

I’ll probably upload future talks to my website too, so keep an eye out if you’re ever in the mood to hear more about vampire bats…👀

New paper is out! We observed a case of non-kin adoption in a captive colony of common vampire bats. More importantly, we were able to contextualize this observation by tracking the cooperative interactions between mother, pup, and adopter through time~

[Ohio State News @OhioStateNews]

The death of a vampire bat 19 days after giving birth presented @OhioState scientists with an unexpected chance to observe a rare event: a female bat’s adoption of an unrelated baby. Reported today in @royalsociety #OpenScience https://t.co/zZRxasLFnJ

"Big Basin Redwoods State Park has burned through. These trees are between 800 and 1,500 years old. Some, older than Muhammad, had stood for a thousand years by the time Europeans set foot in North America. The youngest are older than the Black Death." https://t.co/Q0Gq2moMT4

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

The Trump admin has finalized plans to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, a move that will auction off oil and gas rights in the heart of one of the nation's most iconic wild places — 1.6 million-acres of coastal plain. https://t.co/wisoiPzvKL

Canada’s last fully intact Arctic ice shelf has collapsed.

The Milne Ice Shelf lost some 40 percent of its area — and the last known epishelf lake in the northern hemisphere — over two days late last month https://t.co/hUfOsiyjQo

I put my microphone in front of a 7 week old baby red squirrel.

[Peter Ralph @petrelharp]

I think that simple, unambiguous statements like this - from institutions and societies - really help make science more inclusive. Silence isn't neutral, it pushes people out. Thanks.

[Imran Razik @irazik]

It’s been a long time coming! Big thanks to @MariaSagotR for her amazing mentorship throughout my undergrad~

@NoahLeith I liked but I actually love this

[The New York Times @nytimes]

People have died in the ER while waiting for a bed. There aren't enough ventilators. This entire hospital will soon be dedicated to the coronavirus.

New York City hospitals are at the center of the pandemic in the U.S. “It’s apocalyptic," one doctor said. https://t.co/f6kJU33yI7
