Want to find out how systemic racism is linked to patterns of biodiversity? Check out my blog post "Unequal Land: Unearthing the Roots of Systemic Racism in Biodiversity". I wanted to also share the amazing work of @cschell_canids - who's paper inspired me to write this blog

Textbook pink-washing: @TUIUK and @UKHomeOffice have a rainbow flag in their profile picture while at the same time deporting people who are seeking asylum due to homophobia & transphobia #BoycottTUI until #TUIDropDeportations #Albania30

Well done @KewScience Just shows why some orgs are scared of speaking out and positioning themselves in a real and clear way to #deconoliseconservation But it's not a reason not to do it! https://t.co/pFiA9V96KL

Like every single day should be- happy international woman’s day!During my masters I was amazed to hear all the brilliant things @SoapboxScience are doing to tackle gender inequality in the scientific community 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬 let’s tear down those societal stigmas in #STEM #WomenInScience

[Soapbox Science @SoapboxScience]

To mark #WomenInScienceDay we released a report on how giving women a public voice can help tackle some of the cultural and societal issues that may be responsible for gender inequality in STEM.

@anna__nisi @cschell_canids @JPSuraci @ChrisWilmers @eeveehymas is this paper of any interest to you??

[Chris Low @chrislow29]

@eeveehymas Hey I’m just here to please the masses 😂😂

[Chris Low @chrislow29]

Daily brain fog- mixing up anadromous (fish migration) with androgynous. Although I would love to see some more androgynous fish out there!!!

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I know son, but we do now control our own fish.

@zoexschultz @MResBEC Congrats!!! Will be joining those celebrations in 2 weeks 😂😂😭😭

[Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence @AER_ESE_BES]

#BES2020 @sdiazecology now discussing the IPBES Conceptual Framework, which links people and nature together and links the wellbeing of both.

These international assessments have both been critical in pushing conservation forward.

[Chris Low @chrislow29]

@zoexschultz @MResBEC I’m very jealous :( ps I hope he/she didn’t bite!!

[Chris Low @chrislow29]

@zoexschultz @MResBEC Rawr XD thank you for listening!! I favourite quote that I didn’t include in my talk was about a old lady who’s cattle had just been killed by a tiger and she replied with “How can I be angry at a tiger?” 😂😂

[Chris Low @chrislow29]

If 2020 has taught us one things, it’s how not to raise awareness about tiger captivity in the US! However, I hope my talk demonstrated some of the conflicts humans and tigers come into and how we can mitigate these issues #tigerconservation #bigcats

In light of @benham_char talk on optimism in conservation, I thought I’d share some good news happening in conservation. Charlotte mentioned that the European bison populations are RECOVERING, and will be introduced to the U.K. in 2022!! Share your good news more!#SciCommference
