"AI slop is permeating everything, but it’s particularly noxious when dealing with images from the deep. We generally know what a car looks like and can tease out, for now, the telltale signs of AI image replication. But very few people have the necessary context or expertise to tell if a weird fish or crab from 2000 meters deep is genuine or just another hallucination from the slop farm."

In 2024 we emitted more greenhouse gases into our atmosphere in a single year than any year before it. The increase from 2023 was small—0.8 percent—but still, global emissions continue to rise, despite science telling us we should have bent the global emissions' curve downward by 2020

Here is my #Introduction for #ScienceMastodon
I am ecologist interested in soil biodiversity and global change.
We work on many factors of global change, including: #climatechange #microplastics #pollution
Our focal organisms are #fungi and we work on saprobic fungi as well as on fungi forming #mycorrhiza

2025 was not a good year for environmentalists or climate scientists as action against warming faced headwinds around the world. In Japan, adaptation measures offered a rare bright spot. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/12/28/climate-change/climate-review-2025/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #donaldtrump #us #cop30 #wildfires #heatwaves

Orcas and dolphins form a tactical hunting alliance in the Pacific Northwest – research finds. New underwater footage suggests that Pacific white-sided dolphins help resident killer whales locate and catch Chinook salmon — looking instead for protection against mammal-hunting Bigg’s killer whales.
