- Can't wait for the measles or other nearly-exterminated-disease mascots to help normalize "natural immunity"
- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerAll of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerWe've got ISSUES. Literally. We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do? arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563 A 🧵 1/n
- A PhD does not a universal expert make. Why must we hear from economists about dietary advice? Because they can do meta analyses?
- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerHappy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

- This thread 1000x. And I have 0 patience for the "but there are so many problems to solve we need AI to help solve them all" argument. Since when has any *tool* developed by humans solved all of the problems we face?

- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerIt appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.
- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerExcited to share our paper in @pnas.org with Aldo Compagnoni and Tom Miller ! Climate change may push dioecious plants toward female-biased sex ratios which will impair seed production. Ignoring this feedback underestimates range shifts. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- For #EntSoc2025 folks interested in insect responses to extreme weather, Neal Williams and I are hosting a session, "Hot Bees" in D133/134. We'll focus the methods and tools we can use to understand how heat waves impact wild pollinators across ecological scales. Join us! 🌡️🐝💨🌼
- Other great researchers like Michael Dillon, Jenna Walters, Sarah Waybright, Gigi Melone, Clara Stuligross, and Mitzy Porras will be sharing work. Hope to see you there. @entsocamerica.bsky.social
- 🚨 PSA to all those attending #entsoc2025; be sure to update your time zone in your profile in the conference program. Mine was, unbeknownst to me, showing all CST even though we're in PST here. 🙃

- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerOne in six species on Earth experienced extraordinarily high temperatures across more than 25% of their range in 2024--the hottest year on record. For most, this was the second year of extreme heat, likely compounding risks. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerI’ve done this for 2 weeks now and it *absolutely rules*. Best class discussions I’ve ever had. Best engagement with readings. They write in this worksheet for 15 minutes, then talk about their responses in groups of 3-4, then groups share with the whole class, and *then* we talk about the readings

- Interviewing children about a trauma of this magnitude is un fucking conscionable. Fuck all the news agencies that thought this is appropriate or magnify it. Interview the fuckwads who endlessly defend guns over children and make them answer for this absurdity and upside down work we live in
- Reposted by Jeremy HembergerFresh global-analysis admirably lead by @eeraertsmaxime.bsky.social (+ @oliviabernauer.bsky.social PhD data) indicates native bee pollination services leads to higher-quality apples = improved weight & seed set.
