WOW! Our survey of scientists who stopped using Twitter and started using Bluesky is now the #1 most-shared on social media article in the history of the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology! Thanks for reading it, everyone! @sicbjournals.bsky.social

If the Nobel Committee truly intended to recognize the formalization of Schumpeterโ€™s concept of creative destruction, they might at least have included Sidney Winter, with Dick Nelson (sadly) no longer among us.

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, held local elections today. Support for AfD up but at 15% well below party's national polling. And lower among the young: 5th place on 11% among under-25s, who also delivered a smaller swing towards the party than did older generations.

No, it is not wrong, they really try to make it as comparable as possible. Obviously, there are a lot of deviations and approximations. Comparisons across systems are really difficult. I find it pretty interesting.
