I don't say this lightly - but the floods in Porto Alegre, Brazil, are looking comparable to what Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 -- massive evacuations, water & power outages, key infrastructure damaged, parts of city unlivable, possible long-term consequences

Delighted to see this paper finally published! Thank you to @JCSvenning, the fantastic coauthor team, and to @ScienceMagazine. [1/14] 🧵

Los grandes herbívoros ungulados son o han sido parte de la esencia de los pastizales y sabanas del mundo. Evolucionaron juntos a lo largo de millones de años, con pastos, árboles, organismos del suelo y depredadores.

Happy first day of Fall 2023, folks! Check the weather, don’t forget your materials, and make sure you’re at the right class!

What is the most unnecessary and overwhelming thing about grad school?

I would say icebreaker questions

Eu truco você a achar um comercial mais impactante.

Deer are herbivores and classified as ruminants because of their rumen, which helps them digest tough plant matter like cellulose.

But if food is scarce or they lack minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, they may eat meat

CARALHO!!!

Uma baleia quase engoliu duas pessoas na Califórnia.

Elas sobreviveram.

Olha esse vídeo, irmão. Tô em choque, puta que pariu.

O que eu ia morrer ali mesmo no susto completo é uma doideira, ok????

En el Chaco Seco, las aguadas son la principal fuente de bebida para el ganado. Las sendas que crea el ganado para ir a ellas diariamente se convierten en canales que colectan lluvia y alimentan a la aguada.
Fascinante!

Random photos on twitter > peer-reviewed papers

The strategy is to attack science when it doesn't favor your narrative. This guy does environmental science a disservice.

[Allan Savory @AllanRSavory]

Thousands peer-reviewed papers explain sheep overgrazing causes such damage. Not one explaining why the best of management know how is just as damaging. Science confused with peer-review!! Yet @GeorgeMonbiot relies 100% on peer review!

These recent cold storms mean that a magnificent bloom is even more likely in some parts of CA. Why you ask? Have we reached a threshold in total precip? Has the timing and spacing of rain events helped? Lets talk about it and explore the science of superblooms. 👩🏽‍🔬🌸
