So much anger at the new COP28 draft text. None more so than from Marshall Islands: “[We] did not come here to sign our death warrant. We came here to fight for 1.5C and for the only way to achieve that: a fossil fuel phase-out…We will not go silently to our watery graves."

The audacity to imply 'by 2050' is 'in keeping with the science'!!! 'In keeping with the science' is a complete phase out of fossil fuels asap.

earlier this year, during a heatwave, i hiked around a swiss mountain lake with several women in their 70s who have ended up on the frontlines of climate change and are now fighting to keep the rest of us safe 1/

As 2023 comes to an end, with its share of gains and losses. Let's focus on the bigger picture than getting caught up in the minutiae. Remember that we don't truly own anything, so when things fade away, we don't lose anything. Let's aim for more joy in the coming year. From the

Hello and good morning from the beautiful world of the Ngunnawal people. Dream strong and dream with the power of the footprints. Have a wonderful day and look after yourself. Treat yourself to something special, as you deserve it. Why? Cause you are amazing. 👣👣👣❤️❤️

Here is a reminder for new and seasoned mentors in science who are thinking about new resolutions for 2024 -- this exists, and it may give you some ideas on how to improve the well-being of ECRs you work with: merenlab.org/2021/06/01/men…

Happy to share the poster for the next Ocean Science Jam on the 25th of January in Oldenburg! Once again endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social AWI Media AWI Medien UN Ocean Decade Theme: Coral World For more info click below 👇👇👇👇🌊🌊🌊🌊🪸🪸🪸🪸 hifmb.de/transfer/art-s…

Yes you can, Sofia!! Yes you can!! Fun fact: most scientist in the planet do not speak English as a first language ✨ And there are many amazing Latina scientists (who have much less opportunities and visibility than what they deserve, but that is a different story…)

❓Did you know❓ IAATO member expedition vessels have boot-washing stations on board as part of their commitment to biosecurity in Antarctica. This facility can be found on vessels, at the head of the gangway, or close to where passengers board the ship 🇦🇶

Excited to share the new video for the most recent Ocean Science Jam (Coral World Theme). Bringing marine scientists together with artists and the public to think creatively about our seas. For more info: hifmb.de/transfer/art-s… UN Ocean Decade AWI Media HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social

Your jobs are safe, I repeat, your jobs are safe

I am very happy to report that the years of work we put into studying the ecology and evolution of a single cryptic human gut plasmid is now nicely summarized in a paper that just appeared in Cell: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Here is a 🧵 to cover some take home messages.

A ball of barnacles wins wildlife photo award and sheds a light on serious threat posed by invasive aquatic species introduced through garbage at sea. A United Nations project @glofouling is tackling the issue of marine #biofouling from ships. Learn about it here: tinyurl.com/mtrsffwz

🦪 Una reciente investigación del #centroideal dio cuenta de la posibilidad de que el #chorito tenga la capacidad fisiológica de adaptarse a posibles escenarios de aumento de temperatura en la #antártica. Lee la nota completa en centroideal.cl #cambioclimático

🥳 Our new paper is out in Ambio - A Journal of Environment and Society! We identify features of #conservation value in the #Antarctic Peninsula region 🇦🇶🐧! I'll give you the summary 🧵 doi.org/10.1007/s13280…

Just back from an amazing month with work at ##SouthGeorgia. This is the summit of Stenouse Peak looking down into Cumberland West Bay. When I first came here 23 years ago the fjord was filled by the Neumayer Glacier down as far as the glaciers on the left. #ClimateAction

Another Ocean Science Jam is coming - this time polar themed! Get ready to step into the world of ice, fun critters ... and spontaneous artistic expression! I'm really excited about this one. You're heartily invited to come along and join us in Oldenburg!

Using a decaying signal crayfish to describe the role of diseases in the decline of white-clawed crayfish, red squirrel and moose with the spread in signal crayfish, grey squirrel and white-tailed deer; also three ecological lessons. Further videos youtube.com/@Bill_Sutherla…

#OceanDecade Activity: Organised by AWI Media HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social @geraintrhys1, the Ocean Science Jams hosted since last October in Oldenburg brought together musicians, artists, dancers, and marine scientists for ocean-inspired artistic performances. More info: ow.ly/Uv4L50ShZGw
