This article was published in Nature magazine, and highlights breakthrough research that uses the fibers in the Digital 395 project (California Broadband Cooperative) to detect, measure and report in real time, earthquakes anywhere along its 600-mile length from Barstow, CA to Reno, NV. It’s a remarkable innovation that was spearheaded by scientists at Caltech, who asked the head of CBC, Michael Ort, if they could use dark fibers for their experiments after the Ridgecrest earthquake a few years back.

Here’s the link to the published article in Nature:

A nice commentary in #NatureMagazine by @loopdlupien about a newly published article on eastern African paleoclimate change by Baxter & colleagues (link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06272-5) - can simulations of future climatic trends in eastern Africa be reconciled with modern trends?

Past climate unravels the eastern African paradox: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02297-y

@DrEvanGowan Agreed. Though #NatureMagazine knew exactly what they were doing… and intended/promoted that outcome. I say this also as someone who has published there and in #NatureCommunications — two journals that have lost credibility in my opinion, unfortunately, and I regret sending my science there (never have as a PI though). To be clear, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t good science being published there currently…

@obeto
Where is the scientific evidence demonstrating that Black bodies spontaneously dismember and disperse?

I'm pretty sure I'd have caught that headline in #NatureMagazine or #ScientificAmerican or something.

If nothing else, there'd be a cable show on #TLC or something about it....

If you are still in doubt as a scientist, the following article might help:

The #naturemagazine article about yesterday's #nuclearfusion #ignition experiment.

It explains why it is big deal (#cleanenergy debate for example), but there is also 192 lasers that go "pew pew" !...

" hiring & retention R dynamic, reflecting societal & academic priorities, generational turnover & efforts to diversify the professoriate along gender racial & socioeconomic lines..results indicate that gains in women’s representation over this decade result from demographic turnover & earlier changes made to hiring, & are unlikely to lead to long-term gender parity in most fields."
