FWIW: Lots of talk at #Cop27 abt #climate #tippingpoints.

A big one #permafrost thaw. Here's why, from my recent Nat Geo piece:

1) 20% of permafrost holds half Arctic soil carbon, but it's ice-rich and unstable.
2) It escapes as CH4
2) Most #IPCC carbon budgets, don't account for #permafrost.
3) Exception: the 1.5C report. But that didn't acct for that 20%.
4) That means however fast we think we must move to reach a goal (1.5, etc.) we actually need to move far faster.

Global health researchers use human movement patterns to determine risk of malaria spreading during certain times of day

The spread of malaria is dependent on Anopheles mosquitoes that spread the disease, and it persists in places where these types of mosquitoes exist and where there are enough people to keep the parasite thriving in humans. Human movement between locations can lead to the movement of malaria parasites across long distances, and when malaria parasites a

Is there a cumulative effect from Covid reinfections?

Yes. Harm.

What math do neuroscientists need to know?

A highlight of #SFN2022 was Ella Batty's answer to this question. She showed off an incredible math for neuroscientists course she has developed at Harvard with open materials (https://ebatty.github.io/MathToolsforNeuroscience/) and discussed her amazing work with Neuromatch Academy (https://compneuro.neuromatch.io/)

Her SFN slides are here: https://osf.io/s94b2

Okay, so I'm stuck on a topic.

The problem is I know next to nothing about what used to be called 'special ed' (?) i.e. schools for ppl who who've not got on in the mainstream.

And I have to write a bit about this 😳

1. Have you personally had experience of these types of schools (either yourself or your child)?

2. If so can you tell of any experiences, anecdotes, 'positives/negatives'..?

Any information at all! 🙏

Reboosts appreciated too.

Unpopular opinion:

Mastodon isn't a utopian social media platform. It's just… different.

Decentralized moderation isn't magic. It's better than Twitter in some ways, worse in some others. And it's gonna make some mistakes along the way. And that's ok.

Let it be different from Twitter. And let us conduct ourselves a little differently than we did in Twitter. We can't expect this place to be any different than Twitter if we bring all the same rage and knee-jerk reactions here.

Chichén Itzá is a complex of Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. A massive step pyramid, known as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan, dominates the ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s.

We're an informal advocacy group of parents who met at the start of #Covid19, sharing concerns about the lack of #CleanAir in schools. Many of us have clinically vulnerable children and family members or are clinically vulnerable ourselves. We coordinate with other parent groups, teachers' unions and @LongCovidKids, parent advocacy groups around Europe and beyond and have signed the "Open Letter for Safety Measures in Schools." #introduction https://pandemicaidnetworks.org/open-letter-measures-schools

Twitter users are all like “I don’t know if I can trust a bunch of career sysadmins and network engineers to run their own Mastodon instances” — meanwhile Elon is just running around the Twitter data center going “what’s this button do?”
