This feels like a good day to listen to some conservation stories and get inspired :). Today I'm recommending the amazing @allcreaturespod podcast. Mammals, amphibians, marine species, insects, you name it, they have it all. Enjoy :D #C4C10DoT​ #Comm4Cons

Had a pretty interesting discussion with Antonia Beardsall Emma Cantu and Aimee about the ethics behind this new technique. Could it be detrimental to albatrosses? Any thoughts? nytimes.com/2020/01/27/sci… #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

I was recently introduced to this ''grooming trap'' used to control feral cat populations. It's designed around behaviour and I think it's pretty innovative. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=AnpJBI… Any thoughts? #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

This Friday, I recommend following ConservationOptimism :) all is not lost and I truly believe we need that constant reminder. There's a lot of conservation success stories out there and they make sure we hear about them. #ff #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

This is insanely awesome. A clear example of why we should ''future-proof'' our conservation strategies, of why landscape-scale conservation matters and of the importance of successful breeding programs. Check it out! #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

Well, this is interesting. I just hope that this time we make it right and assess the impacts on #biodiversity and #climate of producing lithium batteries so we don't end up hitting a similar wall in a few decades. Any thoughts? #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

Found an interesting HT about recent events in Germany related to the #Datteln4 Coal Plant. Even though there's a lot of information in German, there's plenty of tweets in English. Read more here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… and follow the HT to stay tuned. #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

I love fireflies! I remember growing up and seeing them in my backyard every night. Slowly, they started showing up less and less. These glowing beauties seem to be having a hard time reproducing and feeding due to #lightpollution: nytimes.com/2020/02/03/cli… #C4C10DoT #Comm4Cons

Loving #Pocket! Exactly what I needed to have an organised and clear view of the things I find interesting but don't have the time to read when I first see them. Didn't know about this, but I already think it will be a game-changer for my Twitter experience #Comm4Cons #C4C10DoT

I like this message and think it's a lot more effective than guilting people on their diets. We don't have to demonise people for eating meat or not, we all just need to eat more sustainably and consume a bit less 🙂 #Comm4Cons

So, remember the wildlife stories that lifted up our spirits recently? Turns out, a few of those were #fakenews. Check out this article by National Geographic. nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/0… #Comm4Cons

Cuando veo a Ariel Contreras, sus logros y metas, me lleno de orgullo al ver quien fue mi estudiante y ahora amigo buscar enseñar a la sociedad. Llevar información científica de manera clara, objetiva y sin sensacionalismo debe ser meta de todos los que trabajan en ciencia. Bravo 🙌
