While tomorrow is the one year mark of the Robb Elementary Massacre in Uvalde, today around 10 P.M. is the last time I saw Uzi, as I told him to go to bed, ruffled his hair and told him I loved him. I didn’t see him on the 24th as I left for work before the kids got up for school

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.
My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re…
And some utterly damning charts.
1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

New paper out in @SpringerCORE from my time working with @oceanrecoveries in Moorea. Turns out, if you take a ton of photos of corals, it can tell you a bit about how they grow and who lives inside 🦀🐟. Great to see it out there, very grateful for my amazing coauthors!
Does making 3D models of corals help us better understand biodiversity of coral reefs? 🪸📸
It sure does! Out now in @SpringerCORE led by @jocur512 w/ @primoecology undergraduate Journ Galvin, and @OsenbergLab

Incredible satellite image from space showing all the sediment pouring out into the Pacific from gushing rivers across Northern California.
Also notice the flooded Salinas Valley and muddied waters of the San Francisco Bay and rivers across the Sacramento Valley.

Brief thread about...snow. As of this weekend, the Southern Sierra now appears to have largest snowpack in recorded history (as measured by snow water equivalent, or SWE). Not just for the calendar date, but for *any* date! #CAwx #CAwater [1/n]
ALT SWE time series trace from DWR for the major California Sierra basins. The Southern Sierra trace depicts an all-time record-high snow water equivalent.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.
