22 May is #BiodiversityDay — a chance to galvanize action #ForNature and protect the #biodiversity we all depend on.

By animating some of the #species we've lost in the last 100 years, @ParveenKaswan highlights the cost of #BiodiversityLoss.

Although my main focus is on birds and bird-like dinosaurs, I also have a soft spot for rodents, of all things. 🐭🐹 Here's a rodent phylogenetic tree I drew to help myself (and others) understand rodent diversity: https://t.co/Q1OxoVBIqd #SciArtTweetStorm #SciArt

The earth’s environmental emergencies must be addressed together to achieve sustainability. This means tackling the red thread that binds our emergencies together i.e. decades of unsustainable consumption & production. This is leadership for the planet.#ForNature

Currently reviewing a paper for a French-language journal and I just learned that the French call a "pie chart" a "camembert". Now I want to know what pie charts are called in other languages so we can make a delicious chart of the results.
