Another round of intense heat is expected to sweep across large swaths of Europe this week. Forecasters warned that rapidly rising temperatures, combined with persistently bone-dry conditions, could worsen a severe threat of wildfires.
Europe Braces for Another Heat Wave. Here’s What to Know.
High temperature warnings were in place across western, central and southern Europe on Sunday as a heat dome intensifies across the continent.

The academic hiring system is simply not designed for candidates like me. It privileges a kind of performative intellectualism—the ability to stand at a whiteboard and extemporize about science as if you were some kind of 19th-century naturalist 😂 😂 😂 open.substack.com/pub/inprepar...

34.8ºC at Kew Gardens breaks its May AND June records by OVER 4ºC for its May record set in 1922 and by 0.2ºC for its June record set in 1976. Unprecedented heat for the UK in late May, and likely to be bettered tomorrow. A rounded 35ºC temperature should not happen in May.
Scientific figures can strongly influence how research findings are interpreted. This ‘How to’ Comment article in Nature Human Behaviour outlines a practical strategy for creating figures that communicate clearly across audiences and scientific contexts. go.nature.com/3R00b1t #Academicsky 🧪

So, OpenAI, whose entire business model relies on some overhyped dudebros using vast amounts of stolen data and stolen labour, is releasing a specialised GPT for the life sciences. And naming it, apparently without any sense of irony or self-awareness. Rosalind.
