"Similarly, predictive modeling is now a powerful tool in conservation biology. For instance, it helps identify which coral reefs might be most resilient to warming oceans. This knowledge supports decision-making on which limited resources should be directed toward protecting these potential regeneration hubs. This application of analytics in conservation biology shows its diverse potential in addressing environmental challenges."

Predictive modeling. This gives me hope. How exciting to be in a room with many problem solvers. Thank you for bringing this to us. And now on to the video.

Great analysis of JMP's product and assessment of its potential to effectively identify climate challenges and quickly provide sustainable solutions. We can apply the starfish narrative to daily life. Looking forward to the video presentation.

The capability of JMP’s software is amazing. I spoke with dozens of users and they are all impressed by its ease of use which makes it accessible to all researchers and not only to statistical experts.

Once again, I am gob-smacked by the breadth of your knowledge and your ability to make connections and articulate on these subjects in a way that is accessible to so many people. The story-telling elements are excellent, and add so much to the message you are sharing. Humankind - our greatest threat and our greatest hope. Thank you very much, Alexander.

I just have one question: is there anything you can't do?

This is super fascinating stuff. Looking forward to learning more.

The essence of this post is right on the money. Given conditions all over the world in summer 2024, the environment is our main concern. I live just across the Delaware River from New Jersey, in Pennsylvania. We are all threatened by extreme weather. Out west people have been contending with so-called atmospheric rivers. Kind of modifies the concept of ☔️.

Thank you, John. In the past few months, our climate and environmental concerns have been pushed out of sight by the political chaos. Unfortunately, the climate doesn’t wait for us to sort out our disagreements. We slide back on the already inadequate climate commitments. Future historians will struggle to make sense of our lack of focus these crucial decades.

I am thinking Noah's ark. It amazes me that 🚢 can be made out of 🪵 . Geoengineering opens many possibilities. We can rebuild the earth as we destroy it. So 🌏 ends up a space 🚉. Maybe along the way we can figure out how 🕳️ might in fact be portals. I appreciate your response. I know you have great responsibility.
