Key quotes from the episode:
💬 "Friction is life. A frictionless life is a mindless life."
💬 "The future is a kitten — it's contingent."
💬 "Where is your print shop? And who are the 11 people you're going to invite?"
The monsters are real. So are the dragon slayers. 🐉

Years ago, with my then-host in the USA, John C. Moser, I described the #myrmecophilous #phoretic #mite #Histiostoma #blomquisti as a new #species (S.F.Wirth & J.C.Moser, 2010).
In a recent #sciencecomm. #article, I reconstructed its #biology, being found on active #queens of ant #Solenopsis #invicta, from my current perspective (S.F.Wirth,2026).

complexity is the enemy of climate action.
if people cannot understand your impact data in 5 seconds, you lose the chance for change. i help climate pioneers and ngos build visual systems that get respect.
What I do: just clear, professional branding and hand-drawn illustrations for high-stakes missions.
let's make your work look as good as the future you are building.
#208 – A infraestrutura da #IA o que são #datacenters e os riscos que eles representam
A inteligência artificial, em seus múltiplos sentidos, tem dominado a agenda pública e até mesmo o direcionamento do capital das grandes empresas de tecnologia. Mas você já parou para pensar na infraestrutura gigantesca que dê conta de sustentar o crescimento acelerado das IAs? O futuro e o presente da inteligência artificial passam pela existência dos datacenters. E agora é mais urgente que nunca a gente discutir esse assunto.
Estamos vendo um movimento se concretizar, que parece mais uma forma de colonialismo digital: com a crescente resistência à construção de datacenters nos países no norte global, empresas e governos parecem estar convencidos a trazer essas infraestruturas imensas com todos os seus impactos negativos ao sul global.
Nesse episódio Yama Chiodi e @Damny Laya conversam com pesquisadores, ativistas e atingidos para tentar aprofundar o debate sobre a infraestrutura material das IAs. A gente conversa sobre o que são datacenters e como eles impactam e irão impactar nossas vidas. No segundo episódio, recuperamos movimentos de resistência a sua instalação no Brasil e como nosso país se insere no debate, seguindo a perspectiva de ativistas e de pesquisadores da área que estão buscando uma regulação mais justa para esses grandes empreendimentos.

Do you remember when the old place was great for #ScienceComm?
Anyway, as it was world #Zoonoses day yesterday, the message bares repeating.
Do not kiss your dog - for both your sakes.
And keep up to date with your
vaccinations FFS.

Reading several recent essays on the 'sentience' (& 'wood-wide-web') of trees demonstrates and emphasizes that the scientific community needs a serious discussion on anthropomorphism. #sciencecomm #plantsci #ecology
Cedrik Engels aka #DrWhatson hat im März seine #Science Show "Doktor Whatson: Live aus der Zukunft" auf Bühnen in Deutschland und Österreich präsentiert.
Im Sinne von Freiem Wissen für Alle wurde die Aufzeichnung der Show heute kostenlos im Internet veröffentlicht, damit jede:r von seinen einfachen und objektiven (soweit möglich) Erklärungen profitieren kann.
Danke Cedrik und dem #TWENTYTWO Team! Großartige Aktion!
