Blue milkweed beetle (Chrysochus cobaltinus) on dogbane. It was a warm day, but a sprinkle of rain from a brief afternoon thunderstorm cooled things off, plus gave the beetle a few droplets for decoration. (Montana) #BugSky 🌿🐙📷

A macro photo, elevated front 3/4 view, of an oval-shaped, beautiful, metallic lapis-blue beetle on a green leaf. There are several tiny drops of water on the beetle's back, and there is an out of focus pink flower in the background.

New blog: Use New Philanthropy for a Maximum Vaccination Strategy Hopefully there's about to be a lot more effective-altruist-adjacent philanthropic money around. My pitch on spending it: vaccinate everyone against everything all the time....

Before entering a long decline that continues into the present, humanity may have spoken far more languages, experiencing a “golden age” of linguistic diversity, with tens of thousands of languages spoken worldwide only several thousand years ago, a new Science study finds. https://scim.ag/4b8zW0b

The rise and fall of language diversity through the Holocene

Characterizing the factors that have shaped linguistic diversity is fundamental for understanding human history, culture, and cognition. In this study, we combined statistical and social computational...

I contacted my NIH PO about the new rules requiring reporting foreign co-authorships on papers that acknowledge NIH support. Here's a summary of what I heard back: 1) NIH POs are confused about this too & fear a massive workload as a consequence 2) PIs should report co-authorships in their RPPR /t

This is Comet Leonard during its approach to the Sun, imaged by Gerald Rhemann on Christmas Day 2021. The comet had been discovered earlier that year, and broke apart in 2022. This photo won the overall prize for Rhemann of the Royal Observatory Greenwich's Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022.

A bright point of light at the top of the image is the comet's nucleus; the comet's gas and dust tails trail from the nucleus to the bottom of the image. Complex structures in the dust tail result from outbursts from the nucleus as it undergoes solar heating.

Synchronous fireflies (Photinus carolinus), my favorite fireworks display ever, 2 years ago in Tennessee. Composite image using a modern camera and a 1964 50mm lens. I chose a focus point in front of where I thought the fireflies would be, so their lights would be rendered as out of focus orbs. 🐙🌿📷🎆

A photo of many dozens of yellow-green lights from fireflies, clustered on a diagonal from upper left to lower right. The firefly lights appear as orbs, not points, because they are beyond the shallow depth of focus.The night scene shows ferns and moss in the foreground left, and a stone bridge and steps near a stream in lower right.

Climate change could redraw the map of flu seasons across the Americas, a @brown.edu study has found, easing winter outbreaks in colder regions while driving them higher in the tropics. Researchers traced the pattern to a surprising rule—flu spreads most easily in either very dry or very humid air.

Humidity may hold the key to predicting future flu outbreaks

A new climate model shows why flu eases in cold regions but grows worse in the tropics as the planet warms.
