Birds not crossing the Great Dividing Range (“Extensive Tracking of Nomadic Waterbird Movements Reveals an Inland Flyway” doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70668), this paper may also provide clues as to how the risks of some mosquito-borne pathogens (like MVEV, JEV) aren’t seen on the coast!

First 3 lines of our just out 2024 State of the Climate report "We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled." Thoughts? You can read paper here doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biae0…

My favorite data science book to get started:
R for Data Science (NEW 2nd Edition). This is what I like most:

Why are humans so self-destructive? 'Nexus' argues that the fault is not with our nature, but with our information.
Out Sept 10: bit.ly/GetNEXUS.

🔬 Pathoplexus initially supports Ebolavirus sudan, Ebolavirus zaire, West Nile Virus, & Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, though we hope to expand in time.
🌍 Data submission is easy & secure, & Pathoplexus offers open- & restricted-use sharing options.

Ecosystem services are key for our economies, but often overlooked in economic analysis
Economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product don't reflect nature's contributions

AI Super Intelligence:
“We don’t need to automate everything—just AI research”
“Once we get AGI, we’ll turn the crank one more time—or two or three more times—and AI systems will become superhuman—vastly superhuman. They will become qualitatively smarter than you or I, much smarter, perhaps similar to how you or I are qualitatively smarter than an elementary schooler. “

“The pace of deep learning progress in the last decade has simply been extraordinary. A mere decade ago it was revolutionary for a deep learning system to identify simple images. Today, we keep trying to come up with novel, ever harder tests, and yet each new benchmark is quickly cracked. It used to take decades to crack widely-used benchmarks; now it feels like mere months.”

A study carried out on specimens of triatomines collected by entomological surveillance in State of Paraná, between 2012 to 2021 and compared with a study in the same area in previous years 2007 to 2013 to assess the persistence of the risk of disease

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI!
This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors.
Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:
ALT Screenshot from https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=exams - the CRAN landing page for R package "exams". This page now includes the DOI 10.32614/CRAN.package.exams

Think cities can't breathe?
Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.
Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles

We have reached the temperature of the Eemian, the warm period before the last glacial period ('ice age').
Global Sea Surface Temperatures are likely already higher.
Eemian gobal sea levels were ~7.5 meters higher.
It takes heat and time to melt ice, but heating accelerates!
Every single month in the last 12 months has broken temperature records for the respective month. For ocean surface temperatures - it's now a 14 month streak
Until we reach net-zero global emissions the climate will continue to warm
