"The overall acceleration of pinning-point loss is striking and paints a bleak future for many Antarctic ice shelves. From 2000 to 2022, the vast majority of pinning points in the 3,000-km stretch of coastline in West Antarctica from George VI Ice Shelf to Hull Glacier, along with an 800-km stretch of coastline in Wilkes Land, reduced in area or completely disappeared."

"In contrast, Locke lived at a time when it was still possible for a well-educated man to master many branches of knowledge. The polymath was still a reality: John Locke, though primarily a philosopher, was a qualified doctor, and wrote on theology, political theory, and education. His herbarium (a collection of 3,000 flowers) preserved between sheets of his pupils' exercises, and now housed in the Bodleian Library at Oxford) is possibly the oldest surviving collection of English wild flowers."

"We propose to conceptualize science-related populism as a set of ideas which suggests that there is a morally charged antagonism between an (allegedly) virtuous ordinary people and an (allegedly) unvirtuous academic elite, and that this antagonism is due to the elite illegitimately claiming and the people legitimately demanding both science-related decision-making sovereignty and truth-speaking sovereignty."

"We show that the drastic increase in the human population at risk of exposure is partly due to historical changes in population density, but that climate change has also been a critical driver behind the heightened risk of WNV circulation in Europe."

"Our findings suggest that a low education is a risk factor for adult mortality, after controlling for age, sex, and marital status. We find that, on average, an adult with 12 years of schooling has a 24·5% (95% UI 23·0–26·1) lower risk of mortality compared with an adult with no schooling, with an average reduction in mortality risk of 1·9% (1·8–2·0) per year of schooling. The protective effect of higher education on mortality was significant across age, sex, period, birth cohort, and Socio-demographic Index level and did not attenuate at higher levels of education."

"It is a puzzle why humans tend toward unrealistic optimism, as it can lead to excessively risky behavior and a failure to take precautionary action. Using data from a large nationally representative U.K. sample (N=36, 312) our claim is that optimism bias is partly a consequence of low cognition—as measured by a broad range of cognitive skills, including memory, verbal fluency, fluid reasoning and numerical reasoning."

"We document phases of instability and cooling from ~100 CE onward but more notably after ~130 CE. Pronounced cold phases between ~160 to 180 CE, ~245 to 275 CE, and after ~530 CE associate with pandemic disease, suggesting that climate stress interacted with social and biological variables."
