These echinoderms are related to sea stars, urchins, and sand dollars. Some, called sea lilies, live on stems attached to the seafloor, while others can move about (and are called feather stars like this one). Recorded at 1,092 m during the #DeepWonders expedition led by @divaamon.bsky.social

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

In late May 2026, several countries in Western Europe faced above-average temperatures. During the same period, large areas of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea also recorded above-average ...

No, these images are not AI-generated, not even photoshopped. They do look artificial because there is something artificial about them: the extra 150 ppm of CO2 resulting from human activity, which has irretrievably transformed the world.

We’re really excited to announce that CroCoNet, our framework for cross-species network comparisons, is now out in Genome Biology! 🎉 If you work with scRNA-seq data from multiple species and want to make meaning comparisons while accounting for noise, check it out: doi.org/10.1186/s13059-026-04152-5

The third chapter in our coral single-cell trilogy is here. After mapping cell type diversity in Stylophora (Levy 2021) and exploring facultative symbiosis in Oculina (Levy 2025), we now uncover cell type-specific responses to heat stress. Find out more in @xgrau.bsky.social's thread below.

Cell-resolved transcriptional responses during heat-induced coral bleaching and recovery

Coral reefs depend on an intracellular symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates that is disrupted by ocean warming, causing coral bleaching. Yet how these responses are dis...

🤔¿Cómo se estableció el "arriba y abajo" de las extremidades en los vertebrados hace más de 400 millones de años? 💡Un estudio internacional coliderado por el @ibbtec.bsky.social y el @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social explica el interruptor genético que lo hizo posible ➡️ tiny.cc/2de6101

This new study estimates the risk of triggering an #AMOC shutdown as >10% if the world ramps down emissions to net zero by 2060, and 80% for a high emissions path. 🌊 It’s based on ensembles with one model, but plausible based on overall knowledge on how fragile AMOC is. e360.yale.edu/digest/amoc-...

🚨 #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨 After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0😡

More than a decade since CRISPR-Cas9 knock in came on the scene, it's remained underutilized in emerging models. Using transposase, and a split-FP system, we built an optimized knock in system for use in the genetically-enabled urchin, Lytechinus pictus. bit.ly/4wswLsd

What if an embryo made immune cells before it finished building the tissue they usually come from? In our new preprint, we show that annual killifish embryos specify neutrophils before germ layers are fully resolved. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to my PI, @ohnolog.bsky.social ! 🧵

This, not polar bears, is what climate crisis means. Cascading infrastructure breakdowns. Can't get around coz roads have buckled; power plants shut down coz rivers are too hot & shallow Never forget that the "economy" is a wholly owned subsidiary of nature phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...

AC's are required. But they are not the only solution to problem of overheating deadly cities. 20thC urbanization model caked cities in heat trapping concrete & asphalt and broke the water cycle & carbon cycle. 21stC cooling solutions must learn from the past

Planetary instability unleashed by burning fossil fuels. But Reject Surrender. Reject false tradeoffs bw mitigation & adaptation, AC vs no AC. All climate scientists have the same take as Holdren: 'We need enough mitigation to avoid the unmanageable, enough adaptation to manage the unavoidable"

Jeff Goodell@jeffgoodell.bsky.social · last mo.

To AC or not to AC is not the right question. The right question is how to reduce suffering and death from extreme heat. AC is just one tool. It is not a technofix for life on a superheated planet.

how extreme is the heat in Europe? double decker buses in London are *spontaneously combusting* phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...

Sales of AC are skyrocketing in Europe - the fastest warming continent, with the most vulnerable elderly... And from where? "Chinese AC manufacturers work around the clock as European heatwaves drive booming demand for cooling products" Just dont tariff these ok www.globaltimes.cn/page/202606/...

"Wealthy societies are complacent. The deranged idea—as Amitav Ghosh describes it—that we are safe, that things are under control, that bad things only happen to people who are far away, persists. Anticipating future ruin, we fail to act in the here and now." phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...
