I study old-growth forests and climate change from trees to regions and seasons to centuries. A colleague termed it RetroEcology - https://broadleafpapers.wordpress.com/

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.
It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

Some of the microbes lingering on the 5300-year-old remains of “Ötzi the Iceman” may still be metabolically active, despite being kept in icy conservation conditions. My latest for @newscientist.com

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.”
When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything!

“This photosynthesis-growth decoupling intensifies with interannual variability in vapor pressure deficit (r = 0.86, P < 0.05), suggesting that by assuming tight coupling between photosynthesis and woody biomass, current earth system models may overestimate long-term carbon sequestration in forests”

In the study, “92% of patients who received the combination therapy were alive at the five-year mark, compared with 71% of those who only used Keytruda… "I think this is a landmark advance in how we treat these very advanced, high-risk melanomas”
