A blue and black ink sketch of octopuses and a fish next to a colorful painting of two birds

Our VISIONS’25 UW Oceanography students included some amazing artists who helped boost morale and maintain shipboard mental health via creative pursuits! Their incredible creations included a) two octopuses and a rattail by Oliver Parsons and b) a blue heron and secretary bird by Leo Couchon. 🌊🚢🧪

what a beauty! :D

A beautiful Snowy Owl, visiting our Coastline!🤗

On Peters defense, some freaking birds are like twins... just look at the flycatchers! 😡😤🤬

The "wonderful" thing about academia is you can watch the exact same processes replay over and over again with a time delay for one discipline after another.

Maybe he saw the future 🤔

Btw, I hope you guys are doing well! How is the end of winter treating you?

The people that sold it to me has a dedicated sigma store of old items and to find this was awesome! a total bargain! when I was testing it today I was thinking about you, @lucidillusions.in and @downmydirtroad.bsky.social.

I hate that this is one of these lenses that nobody is making anymore...

I also saw the pics of a recent contest of photography time ago after travelling of a series of schools in a region of heavy indigenous ethnicity background ( most of them indigenous in origin) and some pics were awesomeeeee ❤️!

Those kids have some talent in painting, music and photography 🌊!

Image of two camera devices, one is a sigma macro lens and the other is a telephoto extender, both are side by side.

I finally started to open the luggage after a week of avoiding it 🤣. A lot of stuff to wash on winter clothing. But it's also time to test these two new things... you have to love the Japanese and their small stores ❤️!

Iuuckk Jack Dorsey... 🤮

I think we always need to remember our own pitfalls (ideologically/morally) and how many times/people that we see in gov, corpo, cult and institutions, have the same pitfalls and they fail to acknowledge this,.which makes them basically unreliable independently of how high they are in the hierarchy.

The good news: We've found a data-storage medium that can outlast clay tablets!
The bad news: Future humans will need a microscope and a good working knowledge of optical physics to read whatever we write there.

I suppose it's not *that* much more difficult than deciphering cuneiform... 🧪⚛️

During the first ReBone Dissemination Workshop at UPO, our Doctoral Candidates presented the progress of their research projects. The programme also included a lively round-table discussion, encouraging a constructive dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and other experts. 🧪

Heat waves that spark damaging droughts are happening more frequently, study finds A new study shows heat waves increasingly trigger sudden, severe droughts across the world as the planet warms.

Heat waves that spark damaging droughts are happening more often

Heat waves that lead to sudden and damaging drought are spreading across the globe at an accelerating rate, highlighting how climate change-fueled extremes can build dangerously off each other.

…I mean, this was assumed, wasn’t it? By the way, has anyone tracked where those Ilyushin planes and other deliveries from the Federation go? I’m really really really curious.

We had a pod of Dall’s Porpoise escort us out to our mooring site near Qutekcak (Seward), AK.

The reason the Middle East has so much oil is the same reason it’s all stuck there now A continental collision trapped oil within what is today Iran. The same collision explains why that oil is trapped behind the Strait of Hormuz now

Detailed fingerprint, without dust.

Detailed fingerprint, with dust between ridges.

The setting sun in Madrid, Spain. The sun appears round behind some clouds, with the sky a bit white, hazy. There are some trees between the observer and the sun.

This week, Saharan dust has been drifting across the Iberian Peninsula. You’ve likely heard about PM2.5/10 particles-their impact on PV panels or the respiratory issues etc. But how tiny are they really?
Enough to fill the spaces between fingerprints' ridges.

Trying to unify my life by working mindfulness and consideration of larger societal questions into my work as a scientist.

In short: the crazy pace of work and insane competition in even renewable energy research is making our problems worse, not better.

Cracking the code on sulfur-based cathodes Changing techniques, not materials, is unlocking sulfur’s potential in solid-state batteries, paving the road for EVs to travel longer distances

Sulfur could power the next generation of EV batteries 🧪 New research, led by UChicago PME Prof. Shirley Meng with postdoctoral researcher Chen-Jui (Ben) Huang, shows that unlocking sulfur’s potential may not require new materials, just smarter ways of assembly.
