Science deniers can be separated: baby cats vs serial killers. They can be cute, if only they'd stick to moon landings & flat Earth. It’s when they start talking nonsense about potentially deadly topics like climate change and vaccines that their ignorance become dangerous.
Fully funded PhD in Norway in our research group on the conflict between otters and Atlantic salmon. Very cool interdisciplinary project funded by @forskningsradet https://t.co/bckP8JCjzF
Her er @Regjeringen og @jonasgahrstore på dypt vann - vurderer å åpne for gruvedrift på havbunnen. Beslutningen er i strid med havekspertenes anbefalinger. 🇳🇴 bryter med kunnskapsbasert havforvaltning som vi tidligere har anerkjennelse for internasjonalt https://t.co/Coz3PSMDK2
WHAT KILLED THE CRABS?
The official story is something like “a billion snow crabs disappeared.”
If that sounds fishy to you, keep reading. Let’s dive into the ecology, oceanography, & geopolitical history of the Bering Sea.
A science thread on crabs, corruption, & collapse: 🦀
This is one of the largest threats facing mankind. From war to climate change, from vaccines to terrorism, desinformation and abuse on the use of personal information exacerbate problems and hinder solitions.
What is your best #seabird fun fact?
Stocking up on info on seabirds for a #scicomm project with kids.
What is your coolest, most amazing, strangest, most moving or most wacky fact about seabirds?
Bring it on & please RT - there's so much cool info out there!
Statssekretær Bjelland Eriksen i @oeddep sier de "forsvarer norske interesser". Jeg formoder det oppfattes som "norske interesser" at våre vann og vassdrag har fisk, fossekall, insekter, rent vann, takler flom og tørke, og gir folk naturopplevelser?

"...72% of women reported that sexual harassment is a problem in the community..." at #McMurdo station
Horrifying report by @NSF on sexual harassment at one of the #research stations in the #Antarctic. This is unacceptable!
Unprecedented in the 44 years of satellite monitoring, a late season heat wave & melt event occurred in Greenland from 9/2-9/5. At the peak on 9/3, more than 1/3 of the ice sheet had surface melting. Learn more in our latest Greenland Ice Sheet Today post: https://t.co/epWPcbHCga
Don't miss out on the start of the SOI Seminar series!🎓
Kick off is next Thursday (8/9/22), 1-2pm @ the SOI Lecture Theatre with:
Elling Deehr Johannessen (from the Norwegian Polar Institute) talking about "Spatiotemporal variation in humpback whales" 🐳🐳🐳
See you there!
👋 Hello new followers! Thought I'd introduce myself and share my open-access resources. I am a scientist at @CNRS in the beautiful city of @montpellier_
As an ecological statistician, I study animal biodiversity & the impact of human activities. I use R a lot #RStats

Shifts in penguin populations in the waters off Antarctica—the Southern Ocean—are warning signs that the ecosystem is being disrupted.
This icy world is imperiled: The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming places on the planet. https://t.co/6LsicgFxmQ
One week til the 7th International Bio-logging Symposium starts. We are cutting registration costs for scientists from low-income regions to attend #BLS7Hawaii. Students from these regions can register for free and professionals for $30 USD.
