Yep. This practice reduced the probability of developing resistant to weeds and pests and the reliance on on one set of nutrients. I'll let all of you make the inference.

Katherine's @quinnae.com 🧵is worth the read. She's spot on. This is a moral atrocity !!!
Katherine Alejandra Cross@quinnae.com · last wk.This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.
There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty meaningless existence; Fill It
Humanists UK@humanists.uk · last wk.A very happy 50th birthday to our patron Tim Minchin. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and these really lovely words on living, happiness, and finding meaning in the here and now. Happy Birthday, Tim!
There is a lot of doom in the air around the twin existential threats of AI and climate change. Can we use this moment of rapid infrastructure expansion to kickstart our transition to clean energy? My full conversation with climate tech expert Steph Speirs is live on YouTube now!

Who are you? What makes you, you, from the 8 billion other humans on this rock?
Ehud@duhe.bsky.social · last wk.Here's a challenge: when ask who you are or what do you do, are you able to introduce yourself without mentioning your job (and/or academic discipline if you are an academic)? It is harder to do than you think.
Good thread 🧵 with good thoughts on an enormous challenge confronting for us all. 'Adequately addressing climate change will be disruptive' ... So be it ... Nostalgia should not be a strategy. @standupforscience.net
Brynn Paulsen, PhD@brynnpaulsen.bsky.social · 2w agoI attended NY Climate Week w/ @standupforscience.net. I have some THOUGHTS. 1/ Climate change is an existential threat. Addressing it means confronting unequal harms, powerful political & financial interests, & an uncomfortable reality: good intentions do not necessarily produce adequate action.
Question time. Has a new, novel, philosophical concept emerged from the arguments of an existing philosophical concept? Making the assumption that philosophy describes how we may understand reality and science describes the structure of reality. #Philosophy

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · last mo.Help! Parton Community Council has 60 days to raise £70k to buy Parton Kirk (resting place of James Clerk Maxwell). They plan to turn it into a visitor centre celebrating our great hero! The other buyers could turn it into long-term storage 😬 Even £5 would help 🙏🧪⚛️ www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

This is technological paradigm shift thinking. Green energy production and food production on the same land.
Commercial Solar Guy@commercialsolarguy.com · 4w ago‘18 radiation sensors, 14 weather stations, 14 soil temperature & moisture probes…Grain specific weight, an indicator of quality, 3% higher than in control plot…On the coldest nights, temperatures beneath the canopy were up to 3 C higher…reduced the average daily temperature range by about 1.5 C’
Given all that is going on in the world, here’s a great discussion to make us feel there is hope. 😉😁 Thanks @particleclara.bsky.social @astrokatie.com youtube.com/shorts/_K4XZ...

Feature 14: 'Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak'. An impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. Noise becomes a cover. The ideology of censorship through noise.
Elkeblom@ellyblom.bsky.social · 2mo agoStrip words of their inherent sense and they can mean what you need them to mean. I may be turning into a gibbering paranoid nutcase but there seems to be a concerted effort underway to hollow out/discredit terminology and render it meaningless. Terrorism, genocide, democracy, patriotism,...
This is how it's done. Peer review is not a one-time thing. Science should always be checking itself. 🧵
Peter Tennant@pwgtennant.bsky.social · 2mo agoDoes the new shingles vaccine (Shingrix) protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Yes, according to a new 'natural experiment' study in @natmed.nature.com. But the truth is sadly far less convincing! Pull up a chair and let's examine another peer review failure in a Nature journal. 1/10 🧵

Colette Delawalla, PhD@cdelawalla.bsky.social · 2mo agoHere is what you're going to do: 1. REGISTER TO VOTE www.vote.org 2. Learn about the candidates on the ballot. You should know what Congressional district you live in...at MINIMUM. An educated voter isn't easy to manipulate. 3. HOUND your peers to ensure they are registered to vote, too.
