'Having “something to say” does not necessarily make it worth saying; nor does it make the way you say it worth hearing.'
I really enjoyed this piece in tQ about Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. If you've encountered him recently in the news, this article tracks his crankiness and crackpot ideology as an echo of him wresting control of the Floyd between DSOTM and The Final Cut.

@clathrin Great piece - the Final Cut is underrated & Gunner's Dream is a masterpiece (the cadence in "after the service when you're walking slowly to the car" makes you feel like you *are* walking towards the car).
"Understood as a form of erasure, decolonisation easily becomes an impossible or even undesirable task. But the problem with this interpretation is that it completely turns the meaning of decolonisation on its head. As I explained above, decolonisation entails first and foremost a profound and critical engagement with the colonial past, not its erasure."

'In Iraq and Kuwait they have become routine. Further west, even cities on the Red Sea such as Yanbu have seen 50°C. The Gulf is both at the centre of global hydrocarbon production and at the fore of its climatic effects. The average temperature rise in the region is already well over two degrees above pre-industrial levels.'

Following the delisting of MDPI's flagship journal IJERPH from Clarivate/Web of Science, I've penned a perspective. Hopefully helps folks understand where this came from & why it's such a big deal for #MDPI, and the implications moving forward. 
For perspective: IJERPH publishes more articles/y than PLOS One. 📊

For Throwback Thursday, from our Darwin Exhibition catalogue (2009), a shout-out to the trio at the Naval Museum in Lisbon that built our HMS Beagle model, Paula Galrinho, José Galrinho, and José Lopes. The riggings were very accurate, so that the 1.61m (1:27) long model used up three kilometres of thread!

"In terms of acceptance delay, we find, again, that papers from Asia, Africa, and South America spend more time compared to other papers published in the same journal and the same year. Regression analysis of US-based papers reveals that Black authors suffer from the greatest delay."

"With IL-8-humanized mouse strain, we demonstrate that IL-8-producing CD4+ T, myeloid, and tumor cells orchestrate myeloid-derived suppressor cell infiltration and angiogenesis, which results in enhanced tumor growth but reduced ICB efficacy."

'When I saw that second MMWR, that changed my life. I said, “Oh my God, this is a brand new disease.” There’re no such thing as brand new diseases, but this is a brand new disease. I made a decision then that, again, even my mentors discouraged me from doing that. Because they’ve said, “Why? You’re on the peak of this incredible trajectory. What are you doing?” I said, “I’m going to turn around and pivot completely the direction of my career and focus entirely on studying this mysterious disease without a name.” That’s when I just laid down one spear and picked up another.'

Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, has passed away at 94.
In 1965, he predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a silicon chip would double at regular intervals into the foreseeable future, increasing data-processing power exponentially. This came to be called Moore’s Law.
Moore later added that the evolving technology would make computers more expensive to build, but consumers would be able to pay less bc so many would be sold. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/obituaries/gordon-moore-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
'Before the Spitsbergen discovery, the oldest ichthyosaurs in the fossil record were from China, dated to about 248 million years ago. “The problem is, [they] already look like fish: long bodies, flippers, modified tail [with] a fin,” says Kear. “They’re living in water and they don’t come out of it.”

'El camino había sido muy largo. Los viajes a la clínica de reproducción asistida en Dinamarca, varios intentos, el desgaste físico, emocional y económico. Y por fin el nacimiento en Brescia (norte de Italia), en casa. Pero a la mañana siguiente, cuando fueron al registro, la pequeña tuvo que ser inscrita solo como hija de una de ellas y de un padre desconocido.'
