We’re chuffed to announce the 0.2 release of the GeoArrow specification! We released the first version in September, 2023 and have since worked with the community towards our vision that getting spatial data from one library to another should be fast, easy, and preserve important spatial properties like the CRS.
Parlé avec un groupe de doctorants éco-conscients à midi. Reflexion de l'un d'eux: "c'est quand même triste de réaliser quand on a à peine 25 ans que rien de ce qu'on va pouvoir faire en recherche dans notre vie ne va changer quoi que ce soit vu que tout le monde s'en fout". #mood
Le microbiote vaginal, l’écosystème trop peu connu qui régule la santé des femmes

Cet écosystème sensible, qui abrite plusieurs milliards de bactéries assurant sa protection contre des microbes pathogènes, joue un rôle-clé dans plusieurs infections sexuellement transmissibles et est associé à la fertilité et au bien-être général. Sous étudié, à cause de tabous persistants autour de la santé génitale féminine et d’un biais masculin encore prégnant de la recherche, il passionne cependant de plus en plus de spécialistes ayant conscience des enjeux politiques et sociétaux qui y sont liés.

I won't be able to kick off work on this until I'm settled in across the ocean, but I've long said that building an academic biology (esp the non-human parts of biology) community here is going to take work.

To that end, who's up for designing and running an accessible online academic conference a la Biotweeps, but using Fediverse tools and innovating formats that fit those tools?

Speak up in the replies, please.

Dropbox buggy? Just host your own fileserver.

Rent too high? Just buy a house.

Feeling sad? Just go for a 5k.

Oppressed? Just stop complaining.

When every problem is a Jira ticket...

An absolute GENIUS has put googly eyes on the huge white tube outside of the Pompidou center in Paris. And I am all for it.

This is your weird picture of Paris for today.

UK’s oldest known Oystercatchers discovered on England’s East Coast Wetlands https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/news/oldest-oystercatcher-discovered

"Researchers are celebrating after finding two record-breaking #Oystercatchers within just one month of each other on England’s East Coast #Wetlands. Both #birds are over 40 years old – three times higher than the average lifespan for an #Oystercatcher... Oystercatchers rely on The #WashMudflats for food as they are jam-packed with invertebrates such as ragworms, snails and shellfish."

EDIT: I dislike the use of AI as much as anyone however in this case I was willing to overlook the ***obviously*** fake image used by the publisher who based this article on a verified study. Two people have voiced objection to the use of the image so I am deleting this article. You can find the original in the thread.

Capitalism is not normal. Taking credit for work you didn't do is not normal. Pretending that it is isn't normal.
