@zleap He's quoted as saying '"In a world where data is everywhere and statistics underpin every job, our children's jobs will require more analytical skills than ever before,"' It very much reminds me of that 'Fatima's next job could be in cyber' fiasco. It's just a vague aspiration though with no policy details, so expect nothing to come of it before the next election in any case.

Since I use #Mastodon, I wonder why I dragged myself into the ocean of negativity on Twitter for over a decade. This social media platform is better for my heart and creativity.

Just had a request for a "Share on Mastodon" button for a blog.

As far as I know there's no official "Share on Mastodon" button, but there are several third party options.

If you've used a "Share on Mastodon" button on your site, could you give your recommendations/experiences?

This is *not* the way scientific papers typically begin:
_________________________

We are running out of time. Ecosystems across the planet are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The life sciences – once a field dedicated to the study of living systems and our interactions with them – are increasingly becoming sciences of the dead. Up to one million species are currently threatened with extinction, many of them within decades.
_________________________

It's a very good sign, however, an indication that at least some scientists are now ready to speak boldly and unequivocally about the greatest emergency our species has ever faced.
