"'What seems to be important,' wrote the visionary #British #scientist, James #Lovelock, in June 1966, is 'the almost certain fact that the #climate is worsening & the #probability that the #combustion of #fuel is #responsible.' Commissioned by #Shell, the memo was the first in a series of #secret #reports by Lovelock for the [Anglo-Dutch] #oil giant exploring the 'large scale #atmospheric effects' of burning #fossilfuels."

  2. The Nanosecond Scientist

    A BolesBlogs.com reader forwarded me a transcript and asked whether any of it holds up. A man is talking about human origins. He says Homo sapiens appeared out of nowhere. He says a missing link sits at the base of our species, and that the link is easy to find: hand any person's DNA to a scientist who works with CRISPR, ask whether the sample has been edited, and the answer arrives in a nanosecond. Yes. Edited. From there he moves to the identity of the editor, God or a visiting intelligence with advanced technology, and he closes by asking why Britain colonized America. Here is the short answer before the long one. Three of the speaker's sentences are accurate. One sentence is invented, and that invented sentence carries the entire argument. Everything downstream of it, the aliens, Dr. Moreau, the colony, the closing questions, rests on a laboratory result that has never happened and cannot happen. The combination deserves slow handling, because the arrangement recurs everywhere now, and the arrangement does more damage than the content. […]

  4. An #AI #Scientist is an autonomous artificial intelligence framework—pioneered by labs like Sakana AI—designed to execute the full research lifecycle by brainstorming hypotheses, running code and experiments, analyzing data, and writing complete scientific manuscripts.

  5. I hope Kayleigh Bonner becomes a #physician, #scientist, or #journalist — or all 3! Even before the age of 18, she began the inquiry that the US #Coast #Guard is avoiding: how to protect rescuers from the brain damage that gigantic crashing waves can cause. nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/coas

  6. Women’s Scientist and Philosopher logo Crew Neck jumper

    Women’s Scientist and Philosopher plain logo Crew Neck jumper. Sadly it seems science is still not taking first place in the decision making processes by governments on our collective future. Not only that but women are not represented anywhere near where they should be in science and the STEM subjects. Only by reading the science and listening to the scientists will we find solutions to a sustainable and equitable future. 

    Plain logo crew neck jumper, black lettering for lighter coloured crew neck jumpers. (S&P)

    Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. They can even be sent back for recycling into new clothes

  7. #MissKitty talks about #Mind #Technology.
    #Faith begins where #Logic ends. Why would a #Scientist bother with a #Hypothesis if they didn't have some conviction that it was true?
    When you walk out the door you have #Expectations but you actually don't know what is going to happen. Do you?

  8. Imagine your job as a #scientist was being a 'cow painter
    Scientists painted black cows with white stripes to test whether #zebra markings deter biting flies — and the painted cows drew 50 per cent fewer flies, adding weight to the theory that zebras evolved their colouring not for camouflage or heat, but as a living insect repellent share.google/SGE7LYfCciXaLcWKG
  9. @catsalad I'm worried that under the current political conditions, the "evil professor" would actually be a #climateScientist making particularily strong cases, called evil by the corrupt politicians and got murdered by some military operation

  10. A viewer just compared my Hebrew teaching to a biochemistry lecture, and honestly, I accept. 🔬

    So allow me to introduce myself properly. Inbal Amit, Doctor of Hebrewology. I spend my days in the lab isolating root molecules, observing how three little letters bond into entire word families, and documenting the exact moment a student’s brain reaches full comprehension. Highly reactive. Results reproducible in over 30 countries.

    The only difference between Hebrew and chemistry? My experiments end with you actually speaking. 🧪💙

  12. Why The Media Keep Quoting The Same Climate Scientist
    (Daniel Swain has a knack for breaking down the complexities of climate and weather into precise but accessible ideas.)

    H/T @DanielSwain
    "The success of the climatologist Daniel Swain rests on a simple foundation: His specialty has long been how global climate change messes with local weather. Many climatologists focus on subjects that seem arcane: mean global temperatures registered in Celsius, radiative forcing, the reflectivity of clouds. Swain, in contrast, talks in plain English—constantly, really, in interviews with CBS, NBC, the Weather Channel, and The Washington Post, as well as on his own blog and YouTube channel, Weather West—about the wind and the rain and the temperature outside, and how they are influenced by the larger forces of the atmosphere.
    “He uses language that is both precise and deep but very accessible, and that’s why you see him quoted everywhere,” Mark Hertsgaard, a longtime climate journalist who is the executive director of Covering Climate Now, told [the Atlantic]. According to Swain’s own tally, he does more than 200 media interviews a year; he is, in other words, about as omnipresent as a weather guy can be in people’s lives. A climate scientist at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources’ research unit, Swain is not exactly a “weather influencer,” that breed of streamer who delivers breathless updates about the next big storm. But he has become one of the country’s most influential explainers of the weather’s relationship to the climate; you’ve almost certainly heard from him if you consume just a scintilla of climate-related news…”

  15. CO2 climate change T-shirt

    An organic cotton T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range.

    Our so called progress has pumped so much CO2 into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil, gas and wood that we now have levels not seen for millions of years. In fact levels haven’t been this high since before the current series of ice ages started 2.58 million years ago. CO2 and other gases through a rather complex series of interactions essentially allow short wave energy from the sun in but do not let long wave energy out. This has raised the temperature of the atmosphere and more importantly the seas and oceans. It’s now well past the time that we need to change our ways and reduce our emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

    Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. (S&P)

    The T-shirt is available from our Teemill store, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/product/co2-climate-change-v1b/.
