The temperature in China hit 126 degrees F today (52.2 C.)
That beats the old record by an almost inconceivable 3 F. The world is on fire.

Busy day @sicss_ndsu: traditional machine learning, building a hate speech-detection classifier, metrics (AUC-ROC, F1, confusion matrix), neural network architectures, and for anyone still awake, building our own convolutional neural network for image classification. #NDSU

[Kimberly Garza @kimrgarza]

Writing this put me through the wringer, but it was worth it. Thank you to @mikehoinski and @TexasHighways for giving a home to my essay on rivers, rice cookers, grief, and Uvalde. I hope I did my people proud. https://t.co/FgL6HDLihw

Because too many national news stories and weather reports artificially interrupt their reporting at the border (see this example), we'd wager a lot of folks sweating it out in Texas right now have little idea what folks in Mexico are living through right now.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Mexico has been suffering through one of its worst heatwaves in its history for the last 7+ days and it shows no sign of letting up over the next week as a relentless heat dome stays parked overhead.

Northern Mexico could soar as high as 50°C (122°F) over the next few days.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Weather historian @extremetemps has been following this heatwave extensively saying, “Mexico is living its worst heat wave in climatic history hands down.”

Expect more severe heatwaves like this worldwide, with a strengthening El Niño and oceans at all-time record warm levels.

[Carolina Cuellar Colmenares @Wzrd_of_Lnlynss]

For decades, residents of South Texas colonias have had to pay extra for water that's dirty and contaminated...all while companies profit off their struggle. My latest for @TPRNews with photography by @GaigeDavila.

Shout out to students who humanize their professors AND to professors who humanize their students.

Mutual respect & understanding is something that is lacking in academia.

[P @PhaedraPezzullo]

Heading to @The_IECA #COCE2023. If you want to talk about a book project or journal ideas, find me. Also, Thursday, I’ll be part of a spotlight panel with colleagues from Africa about African #EnvComm & then a roundtable on care as praxis in #EnvComm

[UT San Antonio @UTSA]

Here is one heartbreaking example of the impact of #SB17 on college and university campuses. What took years to create dismantled in 140 days. #DEI #TxLege #TxEd

[BlackAFinSTEM @BlackAFinSTEM]

We love hosting giveaways throughout #BlackBirdersWeek, but we think it's only fair that y'all put in a little work too.

So this year, inspired by @BadgerlandBirds' recent Migration Madness contest, we're doing a Black Birders Week Bingo game!

Rules below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
