  6. Animal friendly infrastructure - Road ecology

    "Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. , the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill. "

  8. I’m one of those who fights battles with #clutter and #piles at home. No, it’s not #hoarding. It’s more about the #mental hills we climb to establish and maintain #momentum on a task. I reach a point of #overload and then I #shutdown. In some ways, if I could stop myself hitting mental #barriers then the take themselves are easy. Then #shame can build, and there’s my natural #aversion of people. Maybe I just need to hire a #housekeeper. #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic

  9. As a #EUCitizen living in a fellow Member State, I have never watched as much TV (from my #HomeCountry) as I do now.
    Before, it kinda felt like the #TVstations at home don't add much value, but if I want to hear my #NativeLanguage now while staying in the loop it should be a no brainer, but there are too many #barriers in place!
    You can't do it legally. Trust me, I've tried.
    Aren't we supposed to be one #union?

  10. @IviChoc

    very nice, especially the micro (nano?)-grid collaboration with neighbor.

    I wish I could do that, but unfortunately, in good, environmentally and socially responsible California, that would be illegal. Only the utility companies may send electricity across property lines.

  11. My newest #Prelights article highlights a #preprint by B. R. Baisla et al. (2025) and their search for morphological #prezygotic #barriers to reduce #hybridization among the species complex of #Nasonia, #parasitoid wasps. Male genital morphology apparently does not prevent hybridization, pre-mating #barriers are still unknown.

  12. "At any given moment, you are standing on the edge of massive opportunity!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    I just finished writing a massive series about exponential trends and opportunities in 2026 and beyond.

    As I was writing it, I couldn't help but think that the series had opportunity written all over it!

    And then I began thinking that many folks won't see those opportunities because they are too focused on the barriers that get in the way.

    After that, I began thinking that it's also true that some people won't be able to achieve those opportunities because some unwanted barriers get in the way.

    And that led me to the idea that for some, life is a series of opportunities interrupted by momentary setbacks!

    And then I realized that many of my daily posts lately have become far too long, and so I need to shorten the message!

    So I'll leave today's post at that! 

    ---

    Futurist Jim Carroll thinks it's better to focus on the opportunities in front of you rather than the barriers that get in the way.

  13. We’re happy to share that we successfully wrapped up the IDAHO project at #OAT25 with a presentation of the final findings from our mixed-method study!

    We found that researchers with weak institutional ties do experience affiliation-specific #barriers. To address this, we derive five recommendations for academic publishers to mitigate these obstacles and make #OA publishing more diverse and equitable.

    For more details, take a look at the slides: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17152714

  14. @andrewstroehlein they quite reasonably see Russia heading in their direction, with a reasonably anticipated killing of far more civilians than those who walk into a minefield.

    Building a physical barrier capable of channeling an invading army into swept zones or simply denying them passage is a project more suitable as a plot element in Game of Thrones than an actual project on Earth.

    But Winter is coming, their way.

  15. "From the 2030s, three novel structures that will protect Singapore from rising sea levels will start to take shape on the nation’s southern coast.

    Called coastal barriers, these arm-like gates can open and close depending on weather conditions."

  16. 🚄 The IDAHO team is heading to Konstanz for Open-Access-Tage 2025 #OAT25! @zeynepaydin @KaliuzhnaN @hauschke. We are excited to present the project’s major accomplishments - recommendations for publishers to mitigate #barriers to #OA publishing for researchers with weak institutional ties.

    Our talk is part of Session 4: Dimensions of Inequality, which will take place on Thursday, September 18, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.

    See you there!
