Polling has become increasingly hard to do well, but THIS is not the solution.
“Polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.”

Disappointing to see this surge in deforestation in Indonesia after earlier progress in curbing forest loss.
New open access article led by Kayla Kauffman shows strong connections between sociodemographic variables
and individual land use; which are important for developing interventions to limit deforestation, protect
individual health, and advance adaptive farming practices

Brenntag Mid-South continues to amass serious environmental violations related to its chemical repackaging plant in East Durham, where state inspectors cited the company in November for failing to clean up leaking barrels on the property.
NYC congestion pricing: multisolving for the masses. Less traffic, fewer injuries, less air pollution (and thus better health), and more business prosperity.

Among the 93 locations that previously hosted the Winter Olympics, only 52 are projected to remain viable in 25 years
This is the world RFK Jr dreamed of, and his dreams have, sadly and very predictably, come true
For decades he was one of the world’s most extreme, most kooky, & most dangerous anti-vaxx activists, so why on earth would he change course when given the task of running the US health system?
How the Tar Heel state shaped the history of modernist architecture—and how local preservationists help keep the dream alive today.
“Young people are quickly becoming so dependent on A.I. that they are losing the ability to think for themselves. And rather than rallying resistance, academic administrators are aiding and abetting a hostile takeover of higher education.”
A white statue of Charles Darwin sitting crossed legged on a chair. On the image, there’s text saying ‘Happy 217th birthday Charles Darwin!’. A birthday hat with polka dots has been photoshopped on top of the statue’s head.
Guess who’s turning 217 today? It’s Charles Darwin! 🥳
Born in 1809, he transformed the way we understand the natural world. He developed the theory of evolution by natural selection in his 1859 best-seller, ‘On the Origins of Species’.
Send him your birthday wishes in the comments! 👇

The US government has lost more than 10,000 people with PhDs in the STEM or health fields since Trump 2.0 took office — 14% of the federal civil servants with PhDs in those areas, a @ScienceMagazine analysis shows.

As Bill Foege (RIP) said:
RFK Jr “would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he’d kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is…killing a single person..seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”
"Only 12% of medical schools worldwide include air pollution in their formal curricula. Patients, such as young children with asthma, often visit doctors who may not ask about environmental triggers or provide advice on reducing exposures"

Great tunes as always from DJ Gavin!
Lemurs play a key role in Madagascan ecosystems as seed dispersers, but they are threatened by climate change and human activities such as deforestation.

“The benefits of spending time in nature are nearly endless.”
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
That's about the duration of WW2. It took the EU that long instead of a month?
👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.

Immigration officers hauled away a construction worker in Cary NC. "A half mile up the road, they looked at his wallet and saw he was a citizen," said his supervisor. "They pulled him out of the van and threw his wallet out the window. He had to walk back here." #ncpol www.cbs17.com/news/local-n...
