Survey invitations often describe the topic of the survey. A simple, classic example of how this biases results: survey recruitment materials about bird watching led to higher estimates of the % of people who engage in bird-watching. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.

📣 Four+ years in the making, reviewed by 33 scientists, preceded by three papers and presentations on five continents 🌍 — my book on Marine Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) will be released on October 1st, 2025! 📘🐟🧪🌊🦑

I don't know who needs to hear this but I wrote a book about why we hate some animals so very, very much. And also why we LOVE some animals...even when they cause some of the same problems as the animals we love to hate! Anyway it's on sale. www.harpercollins.com/products/pes...

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator. 🧪🌎

A new book edited by Oceans Professor Larry Crowder and co-authored by several Stanford scholars champions a vision for marine conservation that brings together the natural & social sciences; Western & Indigenous knowledge systems; and academic & community insights. Reflections from co-authors:

Women play a crucial role in small-scale fisheries, yet gender inequalities impact value chain efficiency and contribute to fish losses. A new @FAO.org methodology helps assess and address these challenges for a more inclusive sector. 📖 🔗 buff.ly/xan0NPk #IWD2025
