The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

not, obviously from the discussions on here it sometimes does. Why? Maybe the interviewer is thirsty/jealous of your drink/distracted by analyzing your drink order or the fake name you tell the barista. Maybe you refused what they offered you since you already have something and that sent off a

I can't believe I'm doing this but I have four cents to add to the interview bev. discourse: Academics, our interviews are multi day marathons conducted by people who WILL forget to offer you water etc. Carrying a discreet water bottle or thermos in your bag is preferable to passing out.

Here's the link to his essay. I'm going to address this in four parts: (1) The basic scientific error a fact-checker should have caught; (2) Incompatibility with existing science; (3) How our new paper challenges other supporting evidence; and (4) The consequences. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/s...

The Urgent Mystery of Where Viruses Hide (Gift Article)

Some viruses appear to vanish when outbreaks dissipate, only to emerge again. Scientists don’t always know which animals they lurk in — and how to stop them from spilling back over.

Every successful climate week panel should conclude with a ride home on the Hudson Greenway on a solar-powered e-bike.

It just keeps getting better.

Our study departs from this literature with several important advances: (1) we look at multiple diseases; (2) we look at all outbreaks, not just the first; (3) we test for causation, rather than assign based on subjective expert opinion; (4) we use a hypothesis-guided statistical model, not ML.

What's behind this tidal wave of epidemics? In the largest study ever conducted on emerging infectious diseases, we show that the popular explanation - "our relationship with nature is out of balance" - doesn't hold up. Out now in Nature, after half a decade of work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

But look at those numbers. By FIVE YEARS IN, fully HALF of women in tech have either seen or been harassed (or both). Think about any random sample of women you work with… yeah. It’s that high. And that’s IF you work with multiple women in tech roles, which I bet a lot of men in tech still may not.

No hurricanes in the Atlantic this season so far and #TropicalStormFay is not likely to become one. My explanation of why and whether this record extends to October. I also dismiss a false narrative emerging in some circles. Mentions www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Could We Get To October Without An Atlantic Hurricane?

2026 holds the record for the latest date of hurricane formation in the Atlantic, and we are still waiting. Could we make it to October hurricane-free in the Atlantic?

On 26 August 2026, a north-facing slope on the Langtang Lirung mountain in North-Central Nepal failed. Within minutes, bedrock collapse triggered a rock-ice avalanche that swept down the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli valley and across an international border as a wall of floodwater.
