Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart
🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning..
We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.
And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!

Flyer of the course on "Introduction to Biodiversity Genomics". All information are also here: https://biodiversitygenomicslatam.weebly.com/
In July, we will teach the 3rd biodiversity genomics course in Latin America, this time in Bogotá, following the COLEVOL meeting. We invite applications from students, postdocs and PIs from Latin America interested in learning how to analyse genomic data. biodiversitygenomicslatam.weebly.com
Wonderful! Congrats!

Achoo!
The arrival of data centres in a community can cause surrounding areas to heat up - in some cases, by 9 degrees Celsius. My latest for @newscientist.com looks at research that estimates some 340 million people have already been affected www.newscientist.com/article/2521...
Congratulations @bjenquist.bsky.social for leading the amazing BIEN.
Biodiversity science is immensely richer, more reliable and more integrated thanks to BIEN. This new paper shows how and why.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

"California is pledging to put 7.5 million acres under tribal stewardship in the state’s first-ever tribal stewardship policy."
Absolutely *phenomenal* news & essential. We need this, across Turtle Island, fast. We don't time. But WOW. What an amazing thing to see in my lifetime.
