Science is not only done in English!! We show that by doing searches in other languages we increased our understanding of the $ cost of invasive species (by a lot!!) This is Specially important in areas where English is not widely spoken www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Non-English languages enrich scientific knowledge: The example of economic costs of biological invasions

We contend that the exclusive focus on the English language in scientific research might hinder effective communication between scientists and practit…

Important to combine tractable research questions with a complex systems approach to conceptualising problems & their solutions or mitigations. This paper is definitely worth reading.

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Amazingly enough, the first attempt to simulate galaxy interactions (1941) predated computers & used light bulbs! The trick is that the gravitational force and electromagnetic force (for light) both vary as 1/distance^2; Erik Holmberg realized this meant he could use light to simulate galaxies. 🧪

The computer BESK and an early attempt to simulate galactic dynamics

The first N-body simulation of interacting galaxies, even producing spiral arms, was performed by Erik Holmberg in Lund (1941), not with a numerical computer, but by his arrangement of movable light-b...

NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF A PAIR OF INTERACTING GALAXIES LOCATED 390 MILLION LIGHT-YEARS AWAY!!!

In the center is a large, oval-shaped galaxy, with a shining, ringed core. Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.

"A Reconnected Earth" will be launched this weekend as a complement to the similarly titled art exhibit. Includes my piece on the potential of the social sciences & humanities to center those most affected by climate change. Thanks to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design for leading this!
