It's the second mass bleaching event to spread
across the globe in the last 10 years
And the worst one on record for the Great Barrier Reef. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi9uFA3-cDE
Today, learn about coral bleaching and the one billion lives that will continue to be deeply negatively affected by these events
with increasing frequency
in the coming years.

This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.
You can help research scientists with observational details.

Chris will discuss myths of matriarchy, which are found all over the world. Is there any truth in the idea that women once exercised political power over men? Many feminists have dismissed such stories as ideological narratives invented simply to justify men's rule. Does biology prevent women from exercising real political power? Does sexism prevail everywhere? Has patriarchy always existed? He will discuss the ethnographic, archaeological and genetic evidence for and against these ideas.
Streaming the 25th. Mark your calendars. Book mark and boost, if you might. All of academia needs to know what kind of deadly dross neoclassical economics is legitimatizing.
Chris will be speaking in the Daryll Forde Seminar Room, 2nd Floor of the Anthro building. Please use main entrance of the Archaeology Institute in Gordon Square and someone will help direct you across to the Anthro building.
As it turns out, Jupiters moon #Europa has substantially less oxygen than previously thought. Albeit, it still produces enough oxygen
in a 24 hour period
to keep approximately
one million humans breathing.
Sigh. In succession, in my morning feed of articles from phys.org:
"Research shows government regulation of jobs hinders workers and consumers"
"Nearly half of Britons say women's equality has gone far enough"
No biases here, then just pure Science.
C'mon, #fediscience, wake up and send interesting articles!
Ever wonder how Baleen whales (Blues, Greys, Humpbacks), the largest
and some of the most magnificent animals to ever roam the earth,
produce their highly complex communication sounds and whale songs?

Just moved here from #Fediscience. Came for the emoji supply and :rstats: love. Re-tooted my #introduction from back there cause it’s still on point. Two major life changes since it was written:
Silly question for #FediScience: do any elements exist solely as decay products of heavier elements? As in, do we know of any elements that weren't ever created in stellar events, but that only came into being as a results of radioactivity?
(I'm not talking about specific isotopes of elements. I'm talking about natural elements where all known isotopes are known to result from radioactive decay.)
Angus will be speaking in the Daryll Forde Seminar Room, 2nd Floor of the Anthro building, with Matthew as discussant.

Latest research analysis lend further physical evidence modern humans and neanderthals lived side by side and interbred for several thousand years before neanderthals became extinct.
