@nprofile…cg79 I'd been wondering what's going on. I've been using it for a few years to refresh my Spanish. I was lucky enough to take Spanish most of the way through K-12 school and shockingly still retained a ton of it decades later. The past few weeks, I've had to constantly report questions for both bad Spanish and bad English phrasing. It just suddenly went to hell.

@nprofile…args I remember my brother going on CompuServe message boards in the 1980s to get hints for Infocom text adventures. There would have definitely been AOL forums for Stardew Valley.

@nprofile…hujc @nprofile…jw7t Increase our DEIJ education efforts. That was my plan as stated above and it's what I do in my work as a science educator every day.
I'm not a parent, but good parenting should include knowing what nonsense your sons are watching on the internet and teaching them why that crap is wrong and toxic.

@nprofile…hujc @nprofile…jw7t "Someone on the internet said a thing that made me uncomfortable" is not a reason to demolish our decades of effort at making society suck less for everyone.
If cis het white men still feel that way about slight criticism from people with no actual power, that's all the reason to increase our DEIJ efforts until they actually understand how the world works.

@nprofile…args Holy shit. I've never tried to romance Krobus. Now I know what I'm doing this weekend!

@nprofile…5lze David Tilman's work on how biodiversity enhances ecosystem function and resilience is so pivotal to ecologists. I'm glad more people get to hear about it!

@nprofile…5h6q @nprofile…4mvz All kinds of cool animals overwinter in the leaves. If you shred them, you're shredding things like stick bugs and sphinx moth pupae.

@nprofile…tmrr It's a real concern, especially when they're built in places that have limited surface water and rely on inter-basin transfers or ancient aquifers for most of their water, which includes large portions of the US.

@nprofile…tmrr And where will they be getting their cooling water from?

@nprofile…cplj Women are wasting a lot less time on useless, over-hyped technology than men. Good for us.

35 years ago today, 14 women were murdered for being scientists.

@nprofile…eyyt To me as a biologist, our answer is Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Gregor Mendel's Experiments in Plant Hybridization. Everything else flows from those two.

@npub1se6…cmph Thanks for this. LLMs are not search engines and should not be a resource people are reaching to for information. The more we can spread that word and encourage people to look for quality resources for information, the better.

As a Duke Ecology PhD alum, I know all these people, including the Dean. I had them as professors, and I TAed for them. With an $11 billion endowment, Duke is just ooozing cash out of its pores. This is so unnecessary.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 The only actual case of voter fraud with criminal convictions in recent decades involved the NC GOP stealing people's absentee ballot votes.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 I've often wondered why the public health guidance didn't go to "masks recommended" or "masks encouraged" rather than "masks not required". It's such a simple change in language that makes the world safer for everyone.

We are doing a new thing! Come join our new EREN project, INVURTS, and teach your students ecological skills while helping us study how differences in temperature variability affect stream macroinvertebrate diversity! Please boost to your biology/environmental science networks! #ERENNetwork #StreamEcology #NEON #Macroinvertebrates #BiologyEducation #EnvironmentalEducation
