A recent study showed that switching off just half of the lights at night makes a big difference for migrating birds. Learn how the #BirdFriendly action works to help prevent bird collisions. https://t.co/JEsPlfqALu

“The people of Africa cannot be blamed for the immorally low level of vaccinations available to them,” he told reporters. “Nor should they be collectively punished for identifying and sharing crucial science and health information with the world.”

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The WHO scolded wealthy countries that imposed travel bans in response to the Omicron variant and dismissed those that poured resources into vaccine booster campaigns when billions in poor countries had yet to receive their first shots. https://t.co/9Dru2ECEOh

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The UN secretary general expressed strong criticism of the international response to the Omicron variant, saying that the rush to close borders has especially penalized African nations where the variant was first detected and vaccines were slow to arrive. https://t.co/Y1aMlbZ8US

From today in #RoysRedwoods: Sometimes I see something in the forest that stops me in my tracks & makes me breathe out an "ohhhh" from the pit of my belly. This was one of those times. Slime mold plasmodium draped across about 3 inches (75mm) of fallen redwood branch.

[Cornell Lab @CornellBirds]

Most #birds migrate at night—that's why Lights Out campaigns are such a powerful way to help them. Turning off nonessential lights means fewer disoriented birds and fewer window collisions. Great to see the @nytimes covering this important issue: https://t.co/PH7xAf3NBt

Ironically for a conference themed "parasitologists without borders" the pandemic has put up many. But this has meant attendance prices have been slashed. Also science community have embraced the theme. Wildlife parasitol 2nd most popular session. Sign up and push the borders!
