A student and I wrote an article about #neurodiversity in the #EarthSciences.

We use the work of #MarciaBjornerod (which we both like a lot) to show how easily ableist discourse seeps into the discipline, and how important it is to address this.

Does anyone have any suggestion for where we could maybe publish it?

Ariel Had A 170km Deep Sub-Surface Water Ocean

Interest in icy moons has been growing steadily as they become more and more interesting to astrobiologists. Some take the majority of the attention, like Enceladus with its spectacular geysers. But there are interesting ones that might be hiding amongst even thicker ice shells in the Uranian system. A new paper published in Icarus from researchers at the Planetary Science Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of North Dakota, looks at what Ariel, the fourth biggest moon in the Uranian system, might look like under its icy surface.

Scientists Reveal That the Red Sea Completely Vanished 6.2 Million Years Ago

KAUST researchers discovered that the Red Sea experienced a massive disruption 6.2 million years ago, completely transforming its marine life. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have confirmed that the Red Sea once completely dried up around 6.2 million years ago, only to be suddenly refilled by a catastrophic influx of [...]

Global human population is pushing Earth past its breaking point

Earth has already exceeded its ability to support the global population sustainably, with new research warning of increasing pressure on food security, climate stability, and human well-being. However, slowing population growth and raising global awareness could still offer humanity some hope.

#askfedi is there anyone here who was involved in the struggle for #Lützerath and the fight against the #Garzweiler mine?

This Saturday the 28th I am taking a group of 20 #EarthSciences students to the mine and I would love it if they could also meet someone who was part of that #resistance movement.

Last year we did the same excursion, and we managed to find someone who could guide us through the deserted towns and share some memories. It made a very strong impression on the students.
