Fair enough. Slack Huddles exists as a feature within Slack, which means you can’t use Huddles to send a Zoom-like link or invite them to a scheduled video meeting. Huddles also caps the number of participants—to 50 people in the business version of Slack, or just two for free Slack users.That leaves Slack, which was acquired by Salesforce last year for $28 billion, teetering between diving into the videoconferencing market and trying to stay outside it. “That’s a market with a lot of big dominant brands—Cisco, Zoom, Microsoft. And it’s tricky being in an adjacent market,” says Mike Gotta, a…

It’s been compared to a “heavier version” of Vol. 3:…

A tiny flower that blossomed 30 million years ago still lingers today in near-perfect condition, preserved inside an airless amber tomb with only a wee wasp — also frozen in place — for company. Finding this insect and bloom suspended close together offers clues about their relationship in the tropical ancient ecosystem that they once inhabited, according to a new study published June 16 in the journal Historical Biology (opens in new tab). The bloom belongs to a previously unknown flower species in an exceptionally rare group, and hidden inside one of its spherical seed pods was a secret stowaway: the…

Post-it Notes, Spanx, the iPhone, two-day Prime shipping. From unique gadgets to revolutionary business ideas, the most successful inventions have one thing in common: creativity. But sustaining creativity can be difficult. New research from Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, has identified one reason why some first-time producers struggle to repeat their initial creative productions while others go on to continually produce creative works. Markus Baer, professor of organizational behavior at Olin, and Dirk Deichmann, of the Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands, discovered that recognizing first-time producers of…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Urban agriculture is booming, but there’s often a hidden danger lurking in city soils: lead. A recent University of Illinois study showed universally elevated lead levels in soils across Chicago, an urban ag hotspot. Scientists don’t know much about how vegetables and other crops take up and accumulate lead in real-world settings, but new U of I research in Chicago backyard gardens shows tomatoes are likely safe to eat, even when grown in highly lead-contaminated soils. “There was so little lead accumulation in the fruits, we estimate the average adult male would have to eat almost…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Secrets We Carry? While The Secrets We Carry is fiction, it was inspired by my great-grandmother’s early life. As a teenager, she and a friend came over from Finland to Portland, Oregon, sometime around 1913. I have multiple pictures and postcard photos of her from that time period and even a postcard sent to her in 1915 with an address in Portland on it. I knew my great-grandmother until I was seven years old, and only after she passed did anyone learn about how she came to this…

The State of California is banking on its forests to help reduce planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But that element of the state’s climate-change solution arsenal may be in jeopardy, as new research from the University of California, Irvine reports that trees in California’s mountain ranges and open spaces are dying from wildfires and other pressures — and fewer new trees are filling the void. “The forests are not keeping up with these large fires,” said study co-author James Randerson, the Ralph J. and Carol M.

And exactly how much carbon they remove can vary quite a bit based on variables like the health of the vegetation. “One of the major risks of some of these biology-based proposals is that an assumption gets made that you can easily equate X number of trees to X million tons of carbon without actually looking at what kinds of trees they are, and where they’re being planted,” says Cox. The amount of captured carbon might end up being negligible. “You have a lot of trees, which is brilliant. You haven’t necessarily got the climate benefits.”Another technique known as bioenergy…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Virtually all marine life—fish, turtles, sharks, whales and more—depend on the marine food web for survival. The foundation of this immense flow of energy, however, rests on the shoulders of the microscopic but mighty phytoplankton. Without vital nutrients such as phosphorus, the growth of these tiny floating ocean plants is limited, and the effects of such limitation cascade through the ecosystem, impacting the abundance and diversity of sea creatures. A Florida State University and University of New Hampshire research team has published a new study that looks at how one important nutrient source, dissolved organic phosphorous,…
