For football fans, climate researchers Dimitri Defrance et al. have estimated the teams' (and implicitly the public's) unequal exposure to heat, strong winds and heavy rains during matches in the different locations.

"We combine deep learning with a mechanistic flow model to estimate annual bilateral migration flows [and their drivers] in the 1990–2023 period between all 230 countries and regions recognized by the UN."

A bumblebee, who had played with a ball before, fetches it to use it as a stool, reach a "blue flower" in the ceiling, and win a prize.
The first insect to do so.
Remarkable experiments, and videos.

"We're being attacked everyday," said Bashar Fawadleh, parish priest of Taybeh (Efraim, in the Bible). "Not only since October 7," said Michel Sabbah, patriarch emeritus of Jerusalem, in January after another horrifying attack.

Ancient faeces are powerful archives of ancient environmental DNA with the potential to illuminate both ecosystem history and evolution. This study shows that arctic ground squirrel droppings from the...

A new United Nations report says militants and police units in Gaza publicly beat, maimed and even executed dozens of Palestinians during Hamas' war with Israel in acts amounting to war crimes.
A horrifying attack: Last night, Israeli settlers attacked the outskirts of Taybeh, a Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank. They set fields on fire, threw Molotov cocktails at homes, and attempted to torch a gas station. (1/4)
🚨Out today in @nature.com our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration.
By building the first comprehensive, four-decade dataset of annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that global migration has nearly tripled since 2000.

They had to reach an artificial “flower”, and to do so they had to integrate prior information about a ball that could be used to reach it.

Our latest report “Erasing anything Palestinian: Israel's ethnic cleansing of West Bank Bedouin and herding communities” exposes the scale of Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing & unlawful annexation in the occupied West Bank.
This is what state-led ethnic cleansing look like. Read for yourself:
