Absolutely. There are a few excellent projects in this vein, as well - where deeper investment in data gathering, done in ways to optimize its broad use in research, is occurring. An example is the National Science Foundation NEON project,

I have a PhD in Ecology and a BS in CS. I find the bifurcation portrayed here exaggerated. The best modern ecologists merge rigorous fieldwork with advanced modeling; we need to harness vast, underutilized datasets, not just generate new on

If you're looking for an excellent supplier of einkhorn, I'd suggest Bluebird Grain Farms. (They're local to me, so I'm a bit biased of course. But they are a great group, and their flours and grains are excellent). htt

I looked into this a little because I was curious. I guess the ostensible "national security" rationale (which clearly is not the only reason!) for this is that turbines severely degrade the utility of radar surveillance along the

Fun article, but the comments did it for me. Just a reminder of a different Internet.

Nice. This is also how recent advances in ML weather forecasting work. Weather forecasting really is just "video generation" but in higher dimensions.

I'm no teetotaler, but this article is wildly misleading. Many of the longevity benefits claimed are just selection bias.

I have to assume there are folks out there for whom the maximum chonky appearance is appealing. I think we still have some room to grow there in terms of aesthetic for the majority though. undoubtedly a progressive achievement in the field,

nice! yes, that's what I was suggesting for sure. You could put waypoints with contact info in a folder, and share that? Wouldn't obviously be useful for people without the apps.

nothing wrong except that it might be a distraction, which sometimes is good and sometimes would be better avoided.

"Invest in projects, not papers." This is excellent advice, and in my experience does not represent the intuition that many young (and not so young) researchers begin with. Papers come from projects and, if you care, good projects

If you live in the US, you can get parcel information from your local tax assessor's website, usually. Sometimes it's devoid of owner information. Such cases usually require going to a company like ReGrid or Corelogic to purchase

yes, certainly. The biggest impact with respect to precipitation is likely a shift in the precipitation regimes (liquid/frozen; frequency/intensity of storms, etc).

I love the attention to detail. As another commenter pointed out, while this is perhaps true for Boulder, you'll have to acknowledge not only that Boulder experiences a rather distinct climate from the rest of Colorado, and that Boulde

SAR = Synthetic-Aperture Radar. Radar bounces off of metal very well. Some strategically-placed radar reflectors, or a metal-lined fabric, could do it easily. It would also show up _very_ brightly on the resulting images.
