In a new #SciencePolicyArticle, researchers look at Jamaica’s experience with 2025’s Hurricane Melissa as a case study that reveals how extreme weather and disaster spending can trap climate-vulnerable countries in a cycle of recovery borrowing and underinvestment in future climate resilience.

Regardless of which war criminal becomes prime minister, Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid will continue to face genocide, land theft, and erasure. We cannot accept lies, excuses, or half-measures from our leaders. We must impose a full arms embargo and sanctions until Palestine is free.

On October 27, 2018, 11 Pittsburghers were senselessly killed in an antisemitic attack while worshipping at the Tree of Life building in Squirrel Hill. We continue to stand with the families, survivors and the Jewish community and are committed to eradicating hate in every form.

“Arabs don’t produce literature” is really something you can only say if you’ve never had a moment’s contact with genuine civilization. A mind totally consumed by television and self-help books.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

all of this makes it that much more infuriating that the Biden admin refused to lift a finger to meaningfully hold accountable Trump/his cronies for staging a literal insurrection + countless other crimes

The moon peeks out from behind PPG Place earlier this morning in Pittsburgh. My plan was to shoot the moon when it was slightly higher and centered with PPG but stupid me forgot to charge my camera battery and it died just as the moon was getting into place. I was able to get my camera back on for this shot, just a little too late. #pittsburgh – at Pittsburgh, PA

Earnest take: I think it’s probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in elections in countries they don’t live in.

This is basically a classical dangerous Gain of Function (dGoF) experiment. I wish the US government would shut it down. A while ago, Stacey Schultz-Cherry and I wrote a commentary (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…), that ends with this sentence:

US: Bird flu has been spreading for around two months on a Utah mink farm holding thousands of animals. None have been culled, workers aren't being monitored, and the USDA says it doesn't regulate mink. So thousands of animals are exposed, workers could be at risk, and nobody seems to be taking responsibility. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Bird flu outbreak at Utah mink farm sparks concerns about government response

State veterinarian attempted to get help from federal government but was told USDA didn’t regulate mink farms

I literally spend ALL of my time either in the forest documenting wildlife or crammed somewhere editing the content. I sacrifice everything for not much return, like ALL creators do! 😤 The concept that ‘grifters’ can just exist by downloading content without consent and uploading on their own platform for monetisation is disgusting - especially when this is how they respond after being caught! BAN THEM! 🤮
