J'ai fait découvrir le site https://lafortunedebernard.fr/ à ma moitié et elle m'a dit que « ah quand même, je me rendais pas compte » (alors qu'elle vit avec un turbo-gauchiste depuis 4 ans).
En conséquence, je me permets de vous rappeler l'existence de ce site et que vous pourrez montrer ça à Noël aux gens qui disent que bah non, c'est bon, on peut laisser les milliardaires être milliardaires quand même.

The Post-doc will join the local and international team of the project “Microbial
biodiversity and Carbon Use Efficiency as Nature-based solution (NBS) for soil carbon
stabilization (BIOCUE)”. BIOCUE investigates how NBS affect soil carbon balance by
studying their impact on microbial diversity, function, and Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE)
(https://www.biodiversa.eu/2025/04/08/50695/). The successful candidate will contribute
to the experimental work, data analysis, preparing manuscripts, and publishing them in scientific journals, presenting the research outputs at local and international conferences and engaging with stakeholders. The post-doc will also collaborate to analysis and publication of experimental data from a previous Biodiversa+ project from the same team
(GradCatch, https://www1.bio.ku.dk/gradcatch/ ).

There will be a visibility event in front of NOAA in #Boulder this Sat 11am-1pm to protest the announced closing of NCAR. (Yes, doing it at NCAR would be better, but NCAR gets much less traffic than Broadway in front of NOAA).

We’ve also worked hard over the last year to improve our language bindings in Rust, C/C++, R, and Python. Wherever you can find Apache Arrow, there's (probably) a GeoArrow implementation to help!
Finally…we have great test data! This has been essential for testing our bindings and integrations with other libraries but also makes it easy (and far less boring) to generate non-trivial examples when writing about our work.
For the nitty-gritty details of what we updated in the specification (and a full overview of all of the above)...check out our release post: https://geoarrow.org/news/release-0-2.html
GeoArrow 0.2 Release – GeoArrow

Special thanks to @kylebarron and @jorisvandenbossche for co-creating and maintaining this specification! We’re all excited to see what this can unlock for the spatial community and beyond 🌏
@paleolimbot great post! And absolutely great work! Kudos to all of you!!
