"You could think of it as about 187,000 rugby fields," Potaka said.
We are at it again with the weird measurements. Can anyone actually imagine this any more clearly than our more conventional hectares or acres? In fact imagining 187,000 rugby fields is well into my nightmare territory. #NZPol #measurement

" "Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear:
Global heating is a cold, hard fact,"
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement.
"There's still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act
– now."

The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
The last 10 years have all been in the top 10 hottest years on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. "

The WMO said climate change was pushing the planet's temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. #ClimateChange https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/2024-was-first-year-above-15c-global-warming-scientists-say-2025-01-10/

If You Don't Understand #QuantumPhysics, Try This!

❛❛ There's like this hidden #Quantum realm where the #waves exist, and then the world that we can see which is where all the waves are turned into #particles, and the barrier between these is a #measurement. [It -- the measurement] collapses the #WaveFunction. ❜❜

4/x One of the core ideas for me is the notion of aiming for an #EpistemicDialogue as an approach to understand and meaningfully integrate the positions of different stakeholders.

“[…] epistemic dialogue is thus not to argue with others or to become self-satisfied with our own position, but rather to offer provocation in the form of questions so we can foreground and examine our own assumptions and values.”
McClimans (2024, p. 105)

Screenshot of a slide with the title "How does this matter to HRQL research and practice?" Expecting discussions about values and assumptions, offers the opportunity for constructive failure. Identifying limits of the solution one is working on: Building a dialogue with the goal of "understanding (3rd mode)" will not result in 100% agreement on content, purposes, use cases etc for an instrument, but a tool with a clearly defined purpose, context of use, and limitations.

3/x Sebastian Rodriguez Duque (McGill U) discussed "ongoing coordination", i.e. the process how we establish a link btw our instruments and the constructs they purport to measure.

One of the points of modern validity theory (and where philosophers and methodologists deviate strongly from what is perceived and enacted practice) is, that this process essentially never ends.

Speaker behind a lectern and in front of a screen showing a slide with the title "Ongoing Coordination" making four points: To ground our inferences about how to interpret and use measures we need to coordinate instruments with the constructs we are trying to understand. Coordination is the activity of establishing the link between our instruments and the constructs they purport to measure. In measurement, it is an inherently circular activity: we can only test our understanding of a property, like temperature, through the very instruments we designed based on that understanding – thermometers. How can we make the circle virtuous rather than vicious if our values and assumptions are inherently mixed in?
