Fuel for ideas and a taste of tradition 🍰 At today’s HELICS meeting, as we discussed upcoming teaching courses, we enjoyed a laskiaispulla a cardamom bun with cream, traditional for Laskiainen. Almond paste or jam, which do you prefer? #HELICS #Laskiainen #Finland @helsinki.fi

Great exchanges on network science & biodiversity complexity for Federico Grossi with Anne-Sophie Crépin and @daniel-iavor.bsky.social at the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics. Sharp feedback & perfect weather for a face-to-face encounter with Stockholm's nature (frozen lake dip included)!

No single method captures all impacts to biodiversity. 🌵🦏🪸 Same for conservation science: interdisciplinary, scale-dependent. Governance needs multi-method approaches—integrating ecological & socio-economic perspectives. Conservation challenges are systemic. Our methods must be as well.

Abigail Parker & Fedor Zolotarev presented two #BIOBANG posters at #SBDIDays in Stockholm. Tough crowd when you're competing with a life-size moose for attention, but the poster session brought great conversations! #BiodiversityInformatics #ComputerVision #AIforEcology

Check out this blog post by our postdoc Miquel Torrents-Ticó on a recent paper he-authored. This excellent, nuanced work relates people's perceptions of climate change impacts to their well-being. miqueltorrentstico.wordpress.com/2026/01/14/h...

We're kicking off posting here to share our work on conservation science! We work especially with digital data to understand biodiversity loss, illegal wildlife trade, and human-nature interactions. Follow along for updates on the work of our interdisciplinary team here at @helsinki.fi
