A Cornellian creating sustainable relationships with pollinators and honeybees through science, extension, and digital media.

Congress has upped its #conservation game by including pollinator-friendly roadsides in the #InfrastructureBillI.

Research shows your backyard is great potential #pollinator habitat, too. How will you help?

Listened to this @SciFri podcast about Dr. Tom Seeley’s new book, The Lives of Bees. So cool to hear why bees are surviving in the wild, but not in our hives. #savethebees https://t.co/ADFZAjLs40

@hlweinstein98 @ShoalsMarineLab Thanks!

[Ben DeMoras @ben_393]

Had a great couple of weeks @ShoalsMarineLab studying #SciComm! Gonna miss this place! #ShoalsStories

[Ben DeMoras @ben_393]

Loved hearing a published author's thoughts on the writing process. Hope to put some of what I learned into practice! #ShoalsStories

With a beautiful #sunset as a backdrop, author & @UofNH prof. @twhaines is talking to @ShoalsMarineLab #SciComm students about #writing, connecting with his audience, #ClimateChange & #energy. Check out his book: https://t.co/EESIwz4UWv #ShoalsStories

@ShoalsMarineLab's #SciComm class was lucky to learn from Alexa Brickett today! As @NHSeaGrant's Assist. Director for Comm., Alexa puts #SciComm into practice! She spreads @UofNH research using targeted communications, clear messages, and consistent branding. #ShoalsStories

[Ben DeMoras @ben_393]

Sounds like another promising #climatechange solution. We need more research in these areas!

[Civil Eats @CivilEats]

Cows belch—a lot. And their burps (as well as those of other ruminants) make them the top polluters of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Could seaweed help? https://t.co/lIxwQnzxMu

@JohnKGII @UofNH And today's #whalewatch was NSWF! 🤣

Nice article by @NakedCapsid with 5 great #SciComm tips! Ties in with what we're learning at #SMLSciComm #ShoalsStories

“The most effective guard against climate breakdown may not be technological, but a fundamental reimagining of what constitutes a good life on this planet. ... So far our response to the challenge of climate change exposes a fundamental failure of collective imagination.”

Visited a tern colony on #WhiteIsland, where @ShoalsMarineLab has been helping operate one of the most successful tern restoration programs in the Gulf of Maine. Learn more here: https://t.co/weejAv7fLU #ShoalsStories

Typically, I think it's best to avoid fear mongering. But do we have an option still? @grist makes a good argument based on #neuroscience

[grist @grist]

"Climate change" or "climate crisis?" https://t.co/OhnpcvCG18

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

A recent study found that bees exposed to a neonicotinoid pesticide could fly just a third of the distance that unexposed bees can.

@ShoalsMarineLab, we've learned that scientists and the publics don't always think alike! In #SciComm, it's important to keep in mind who your audience is! [3/3] #ShoalsStories

Great stories about the #positive things being done in the Midwest, right now, to fight #climatechange

[Inside Climate News @insideclimate]

14 newsrooms across the Midwest teamed up with ICN to explore regional climate solutions.

What these reporters found tells a story about better agriculture, cleaner vehicles and electric grids — and about human lives and the future.

@sensitivsci Find me on #AppledoreIsland and I’ll give y’all a demo of @diigo!

[Ben DeMoras @ben_393]

@myndwalk Cool! Funny how that happens
