Defunding fungi: US’s living library of ‘vital ecosystem engineers’ is in danger of closing These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close

The loss of this bio repository would be a disaster. Hey @invam.bsky.social, how much funding do you need per year to remain fully operational?

Rather magnificent black floof sitting on a ship’s capstan under a bell with a very inviting dangling rope.

Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)

"jargon can increase perceptions of explanatory satisfaction for low-quality explanations. This is because jargon decreases the perception that the explanation contains explanatory gaps."

Using the past to tell more persuasive conservation stories For millennia, stories have been central to conveying human experience—a tradition through which communities continue to share lessons, knowledge, and cultural values. Now, conservationists are begin...

How we start a conservation story shapes what we think is possible.

A new essay shows how geohistorical data, fossils, sediment, and deep records can counter shifting baselines & make stories more persuasive, emotional, and actionable.

Not a great move IMO. Now that it finally works reliably on the tv app they are taking it away??

The MAHA report serves as a vignette of techniques used to mislead the public by exploiting the credibility and language of science. A closer look reveals not only bias but outright fabrication.
