#Lightpollution is one of the most pervasive forms of environmental change that ecosystems are facing. NERAL is working to understand how our artificial light at night (#ALAN) is impacting the natural world. 💡

These two disturbing images illustrate the extent of the fires that are blazing through the Amazon right now.

One is from NASA's FIRMS, which pinpoints individual fires, and the other is from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, which shows biomass burning aerosol.

Today I had the pleasure of hosting @thesiswhisperer at @unimelb. There were plenty of great conversations, a call to action about the importance of communication skills in the job market, and still time for a few laughs. #scicomm #phdchat #phdadvice

Victorian eastern barred bandicoots are extinct in the wild. But there is hope – and you can help. Find out more: https://t.co/YA0apkxX2A Please retweet! #BandicootRescue #FUNDERMelbourne #ThreatenedSpeciesDay #wildoz #geneticrescue

Humans might love the convenience of street lights... but what do swans think? Scientists are monitoring Albert Park Lake’s black swans to see if constant exposure to light is negatively affecting their behaviour. @dreamingscience
