Thank you apple intelligence for this summary that partially correct and partially extremely wrong
(yes, for most #stem fields one can sign up for daily #arxiv updates for your field. Consider it, it's a very efficient way to keep up with the literature. #professortip #academia)
Happy #Nowruz to all who celebrate. Makes much more sense to me to celebrate the #NewYear at the beginning of spring on an astronomically significant day rather than on some odd, astronomically insignificant day in mid-winter. I mean, what’s up with that anyway? So to celebrate Nowruz, which BTW is observed by an enormous population including in Iran, Central and South Asia, I’m posting a short video memorial to one of the greatest #mathematicians ever, who happened to be an #Iranian woman, Maryam Mirzakhani. The first woman to win the Field’s Prize, math’s equivalent to the Nobel, Mirzakhani broke barriers and forever changed her chosen field. A Harvard graduate and former professor at both Princeton and Stanford, she deserves more attention than she gets. Regrettably, she died far too young at 40. May the new year bring us more genius minds like hers. #math #mathematics #STEM #WomenInSTEM #science

Following the scientific consensus isn't succumbing to groupthink or following the herd or resisting new ideas. It's how to ensure you're the least amount of wrong as humanly possible
Big ThinkFollowing the scientific consensus: How to be "the least wrong"All scientific theories are limited in scope, power, and application, being mere approximations of reality. That's why consensus is vital.

Cooperation between nations is the path to the #future. Privatization and expecting everything to turn a profit will lead to waste and subpar products.

The US, which paused Columbia River talks with Canada, isn’t the only country shifting in this direction.
Bluesky Social · Alex Spahn 🌋🌪️☄️ (@spahn711.bsky.social)Two years ago today was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I captured this sunrise eruption of Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego. My drone was much closer than I realized, and the eruption was the largest I saw in my two days up there. I may never again film something as remarkable as this:
