I’m no longer going to stand by while people say ‘fuck zoos’ for social media clout. Our planet is dying. The animals that we hold so close to our hearts are dying. Accredited zoos and aquariums are the leaders in saving the planet, and we should be thanking them for it.

There is no shame in revelling in the @tarongazoo live #otter cam even after #lockdown has ended. Maybe even keep it playing in the background while doing very tedious grant writing… it’s otterly addictive 😆 #Science #tarongazoo #phdlife #phdchat

Devastated to learn, the dead whale we found yesterday in NE Scotland is Humpback Calf. Severe entanglement lesions around its fluke, gear still present. If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can solve this. Technologies are being developed - they need investment and support

@ShahriarAghaei Blame unrealistic word counts 😝

PowerPoint now generates automatic captions for people with vision impairment! Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds, but #AI is not taking over anytime soon 😅#accessibility #innovation

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

[Dan Ripley @ElasmoDan]

My first, first-author paper is out today 📢 Ocean warming impairs the predator avoidance behaviour of baby sharks. Check it out https://t.co/s0ggkRs9yJ in @conphysjournal 🦈🔥

[JCU Turtle Health @JCUTurtleHealth]

It’s sea turtle week - our favourite time of year! The team recently completed a huge milestone, releasing our captive-raised critically endangered hawksbills onto the reef alongside Traditional Owner ranger groups and in partnership with @WWF_Australia #SeaTurtleWeek @BecDig 🐢

[Mike Morrison @mikemorrison]

People always ask me for examples of bad #UX. Here you go.

Frustrating scientists with terrible interfaces doesn’t just cost scientists lost time. It subtly punishes the behavior of exploring science. It makes something that should be wondrous feel like a chore.

[Bella Reboul @BellaReboul]

This would be laughable if it weren’t about something so serious @WHO #VaccinEquity

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

No one is safe from #COVID19 until everyone is safe. This is why we must vaccinate health workers and highest risk populations in all countries first and at the same time.

Donate. Doses. Now.

[Bella Reboul @BellaReboul]

Good morning, I think I’ll be moving to Cincinnati #Vaccination

[Cincinnati Zoo @CincinnatiZoo]

Flatback turtles might only nest in Australia, but there are 100s of nesting sites spread around ~6500km of coast, on the land of dozens of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Nations and in 3 states (WA, NT & Qld) #seaturtleweek

[Bella Reboul @BellaReboul]

New Pygmy blue #whale population detected in the Indian Ocean using passive acoustic monitoring 😱 That we are still finding hidden populations of the biggest animal on earth demonstrates the challenges of working in #marine #environments! https://t.co/ezlwACqrfu #nature

Happy #WorldOceansDay2021 ! Big shoutout to all the amazing scientists, researchers, citizens, businesses and organisations that are doing their part to preserve our oceans for future generations! We got this ! #ScienceTwitter

[Dr. Vanessa Pirotta @VanessaPirotta]

New #Australian #whale #research! My coauthors and I are proud to share our new paper: First evidence of #bubble-net feeding and the formation of ‘super-groups’ by the east Australian population of #humpback #whales during their southward migration. https://t.co/bd4vzkuxFd

Dolphins! I couldn’t believe it when I heard them surfacing behind me when I was crossing from Ardnamurchan to the Isle of Mull today. 😊
