I offer a multilateral approach to solving #challenges related to #biodiversity loss and #climatechange as a conservation biologist and science communicator.

My first piece for #NatureinCambridgeshire in collab. with expert herpetologist @stevoallain just slid through the post. That's Saturday afternoon, sorted!

Happy #SummerSolstice2025 🌞 Grateful to call June 21 my date of birth 🌍

Happy summer solstice! 🌞

This year's solstice happened at exactly 04:42 AM CEST, the moment the Sun reached its northernmost point in the sky.

Seen from space, Earth puts on quite the show. These views capture a full year of shifting light and shadow, from one June solstice to the next.

At this point in our orbit, the day–night line (known as the terminator) is tilted at its most dramatic angle. The Northern Hemisphere gets its longest day of the year, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences its shortest.

"On that day, fresh snow blanketed the ground, and the temperature dropped to -20°C (-4°F)."

A Mongolian naturalist photographed this Mongolian Pallas' Cat (Otocolobus manul manul) and it's our Observation of the Week!
