This is madness. This is equivalent to evacuating large parts of Paris or Houston. Where are all these people supposed to go?

1/ Calling all ECRS - we have 4x 3 year post docs on Multispecies Mutualisms working with us at Sheffield. Don't want to read through all the stuff to work out if its right for you? Here is a short video explainer 🎥 digitalmedia.sheffield.ac.uk/media/Multis...

Learned recently that Guenter Risse died in Seattle a few weeks ago aged 93. A fine historian of medicine, he could be strongly opinionated. But he was good to me. His commitment to medical history stayed strong. When I took over from him at UCSF he'd have been my age now - how senior he seemed!

Delighted to be starting my new Wellcome Trust funded project today, which has now been moved to University of Liverpool. A reminder that I will soon be advertising two postdocs on conservation and animal health and conservation and earth systems' health. The posts will likely start late this year.

My review of @brad.bolman.com 's 'Lab Dog' has just been published with Social History of Medicine. This is a truly excellent book that will be of great interest to historians of animals, lab sciences, and beyond. doi.org/10.1093/shm/...

Very valuable thread on the impact of UKHE cuts and what we stand to lose through them. I worked closely with the case study cited and wrote the Environment Template for that UoA. We have all of us been in scope for redundancy since January. Where does that leave such important research?

It was a real pleasure to write this afterword for a fantastic special issue on the history of invasive species by Christos Lynteris @visualplague.bsky.social and Jules Skotnes-Brown @julesskotnesbrown.bsky.social

Fantastic to see our special issue has now been formally published!

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

It has been an absolute pleasure working with @visualplague.bsky.social, @alvesduarte.bsky.social and Oliver French on this wonderful project over the last five years. I have learnt an enormous amount and had great fun with this team. Thank you Christos for putting together this amazing project.

A mostly fair critique of Segregated Species in South African Journal of Science from Anjuli Webster. The point that I have not engaged enough with Indigenous African language sources is a very important critique. doi.org/10.17159/saj...

Two very interesting papers from 2024 on birds and technology: 'Bird feeding devices exclude unwelcome visitors' by Heta Lähdesmäki, Tuomas Aivelo, and Panu Savolainen: doi.org/10.1177/2514... And 'Bird Boxes and Sparrow Traps' by @mattholmes.bsky.social : muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

"This highlights a critical but overlooked link between biodiversity loss and climate change, revealing how unmitigated animal declines undermine the ability of forest carbon to recover after disturbance and emphasizing the need to incorporate animal biodiversity into climate mitigation strategies"
