My contribution in the local paper to try to provide balance and perspective to my local community's discussions about calls to build a new bridge to Bribie Island. Increased awareness of rapidly shifting baselines is needed.

Our Giga Berlin-Brandenburg team sent me a long list of public facts, so I thought I’d share a few of them.

The entire point of Tesla is to create innovative zero emissions products and accelerate sustainable energy/transport. But in order to do that well, we also focus on…

Here's the thing...

We can be fans of Rivian and Tesla. We can be fans of Lucid and Tesla. We don't have to pick one or the other. Electric vehicles are the future. The 'enemy' if we had to pick one would be fossil fuels.

I've seen a lot of FUD about Rivian going potentially…

⚡ Exciting news! 🏆 First round of #NEVI funding in Tennessee has been announced. 48 new Tritium fast chargers will be deployed across the state thanks to over $10.5 million of funding. Congratulations to Universal EV LLC & PowerUp America.

Looks like MDPI has to go if we are to maintain any skerrick of scientific integrity. predatoryreports.org/news/f/review-…

Stuart Butchart And it is a wrong study. See the various rebuttals published on it in Nature.

For 2024, I'm going to use this flow-chart to prioritise requests to review papers. At the end of the year I'll let you know the numbers in each category. I thought of adding an 'am I being paid?' question, but what's the point?

After 16 years in Australia I think these measurements are pretty accurate 😉

Not surprising. When i asked a local plastic cleanup company which was listing shares publically if they had tested their machine to make sure that it did not collect and kill ichthyoplankton and larval stages of invertebrates, all i heard back was crickets... No idea.......

Just because some folks keep saying that fish feel pain does not make it so... Here is our paper where we embrace an organized skepticism perspective. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences American Fisheries Society Howard I.

This book exposes the dogmatic, misanthropic and pessimistic foundation of animal rights and the flaws of the the fish feel pain science. It highlights instead a pragmatic fish- and human friendly perspective.

Ignoring @mdpi 'special issue' invites is my fave hobby. Nothing feels better than ignoring their spam... oh, aside from emailing those behind the invite to let them know what I think of predatory publishers.

Did you know EVs charge at different rates over time?

EVs use advanced software to control power delivery during charging, gradually decreasing the rate as the battery fills up.
