Listening to the incredible papers at the Blue Extinction conference, revisiting chapter 5 for the first time in a month and Boris has resigned - the stars have alligned and today is a strong contender for best day of the year 🎉

Remarkable opening panel Blue Extinction. Whaly and other soundings point toward important relations among cacophony and abundance, fullness and silence, composition and noise, and on. So good. / Sarah Bezan Sophia Nicolov sally ann mcintyre // #blueextinction

Continuing our panel ‘Beyond Monstrous and Alien Life,’ we have @gudrunjakups on the toxin-laced flesh of Greenland Sharks which make eaters ‘shark drunk’ #blueextinction Blue Extinction

And Karen Eckersley dwells on a fabulous passage from Elizabeth Bishop featuring the fittingly surreal image of a smoking toad #blueextinction Blue Extinction

Tabea Weber, Martin Ullrich and Jessica Ulrich's paper happening right now on visual and conceptual cultures of coral extinction! Rachel Murray Dr Vera Fibisan ShARC Blue Extinction

Gave a talk Blue Extinction this afternoon about marine extinctions and biodiversity data and there is no happy ending, I couldn't dredge up a note of hope because there's too much to do and no infrastructure to do it. #BlueExtinction

🌊Day 2 of Blue Extinction kicks off today at 9.15am BST 🌊

Excited for day 2! Day 1 was such a great day - I've been dwelling on various themes that came out including: hope, unknowability of marine spaces/organisms, the tensions between fragile oceans and promissory oceans, layered temporalities and charisma. So much to unpack! 🌊🌊

Today Blue Extinction has been incredible! I barely want to take a lunch break because the discussion has been so ace so far Rachel Murray Dr Vera Fibisan ShARC

I just have to say how grateful 🙏 I am to Dr Vera Fibisan and Rachel Murray for putting on an incredible Blue Extinction symposium these past two days ShARC. The meeting was extremely timely, enriching, challenging, and thought provoking. 🌊🌊🌊
