🌍❄️ Happy Antarctica Day! ❄️🌍 66 years ago, nations chose cooperation over competition and signed the Antarctic Treaty. Today we celebrate a continent dedicated to peace and science, while remembering its future isn’t guaranteed.
Here’s to protecting Antarctica, together. 💙❄️

Amazing talk by Prof. Helen Bostock about climate science in Antarctica 🇦🇶

BREAKING: The 2025 Noble Prize for Medicine has been awarded to RFK Jr. for “taking bold action to reduce life expectancies in the USA”. By undermining the health system, RFK Jr. has led the charge to combat the USA's aging population and prevent a pension crisis.

@RetractionWatch I read the article, but the truth is that Google Scholar is not a reliable source of metrics. Altered metrics, fake citations, non-peer reviewed papers, duplicates and even fake profiles are all over the place. If institutions are using GS as a reference, they should change.

East Antarctica faces unprecedented threats: record 38.5°C heat in 2022, 28°C heatwave in 2024. Its ice sheet holds 80% of Earth’s freshwater, enough to raise sea levels by 52m. Fishing for krill & toothfish continues without protections. 📷️ John Weller

Let’s talk about the dark side of plastic research:

A) Most micro/nanoplastics papers are reviews, not data 📄 (https://t.co/2kqN5kRl4i)

B) Some highly cited, globally hyped papers are just bad—e.g., no proper blanks (https://t.co/lhi2Lp0WIp)

Words cannot describe what is it like to step out and see Antarctica for the first time 🗻

In our newest publication, we discussed the conservation challenges in Antarctica under increasing plastic and microplastic pollution 🇦🇶

The Trump administration is planning to shut down the EPA’s scientific research unit, hurting its ability to do research on the dangers of toxic chemicals and climate change. https://t.co/8z0qFM9Ql1

[Sung-Ho Kang @polarkangkopri]

Antarctica is changing.
Sea ice is shrinking, krill fishing rising, wildlife under stress.

Science is clear—collective action must follow.
Protecting Antarctica is our shared duty.
