It's not every day that one gets to publish a paper with their Dad. Here it is! If you're interested in #Seabirds and community engagement, have a read. In this paper, we discuss how Newfoundlanders perceive hunting regulations. #Conservation #MarineEcology

Protecting seabirds from interactions with drones when doing wildlife surveys is important! As part of this we have been trialing propeller guards for our M350 airframe. #Seabirds #UAVs #DataScience #Drones #OffshoreWind #OnshoreWind #Scotland

#SEABIRD NEWS. Call for Symposia and workshops for #WSC4 IS OPEN! worldseabirdunion.org/world-seabir... Deadline is August 1! Reach out to [email protected] for submissions or more information! #seabirds #climatechange #science #Hobart

For those in need of a smile, a reminder that one 19th-century name for a penguin was ‘arsefoot’.

Wind turbines affect local wind regime, esp. downwind from them. How that affects marine ecosystems, through wind-related features like upwelling, is something we are still learning. But aspects like surface primary productivity seem to be affected. 🧪🌊 Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Imagine #spying on #Seabirds from the skies with ultra high resolution from a distance well away from cliff faces. No disturbance, minimal risk of interaction with flying birds, and reproducible data! That's what we're doing right now with our new #UAVs! #Conservation #Drones #Scotland #SPAs

Who doesn't love doing boat surveys for cliff nesting #Seabirds??? So lucky to have the greatest team to work with here!

We're having the most fantastic time doing #UAV surveys for cliff nesting #Seabirds with our new #M350 drone. The images are incredible... Stay tuned for some amazing high resolution images. #Caithness #Scotland #conservation #monitoring #UAVs

Love this wee #Penguin!

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

The perfect song lyrics don't exis.... 😳 #penguins

In this edition of #airplanesgettingeatenbyjetways we've got a LATAM Airbus A320 getting chewed on by a jetway at punta arenas airport in Southern Chile.

An early morning flight to Ushuaia leads to some whacky thoughts... in this edition of #PlanesGettingEatenByJetways we've got an Aerolineas argentinas 737... #Avgeek #penguincounting #penguins #earlymornings #Antarctica

One part of coming to #Antarctica is waiting in airports! Currently waiting for my partner in crime, Bertrand Charry to join me at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires. Tomorrow morning we catch a flight to Ushuaia, Arg to get on board the Greg Mortimer for ten days. #PenguinCounting #Penguins #Seabirds

Polyamory means wholly loving multiple people, not loving each one halfway. True polyamory thrives on commitment, communication, and genuine care for every partner involved. Don't settle for less than you deserve. 💜

Oceanites has been counting #penguins since 1994 and maintains the largest source of publicly accessible #penguin census records in the world which can be accessed at www.penguinmap.com. This is our 31st season and we've got some amazing operational partners! #Antarctica #PenguinCounting

So it begins... Follow along as I head off from Inverness, Scotland to the #Antarctic peninsula where I'll be once again counting #Penguins for Oceanites! First, a wee hop to London Heathrow before my long haul to Buenos Aires #PenguinCounters #Seabirds #Science #BestJob

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑‍🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📣New paper📣 We estimate the number of extinctions of Australian #invertebrates, plus the ongoing #extinction rate … Both figures are far higher than those currently recognised, pointing to alarming gaps in #conservation of an important area of #biodiversity 🪳🕷️🐌🪰🪲🪱 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Outwitted by my 6 year old.... #parenting...

This is all too true... Ultimately the root of all of these problems stem from malicious or uncaring humans... It's incredibly difficult to not lose hope. #darkdays #climatechange #ecogrief #climateanxiety

Does anyone else get as excited about new kitchenware as I do?.....

If I had actioned every single idea I've had since I started my professional career, I'd need to clone myself 100 times over and build an empire the size of Google....

Yeay @altmetric.com you have formally made Bluesky a good space for academics.

🎉 Data is now loaded on the Seabird Tracking Database! www.seabirdtracking.org

While Marriage can certainly be for the right reasons, it can often not be, and it's great to see that some cultures are starting to recognize that it shouldn't be forced upon anyone, nor should it be expected of us.

!!! WAHEEEYYY!!! Unbelievable news!! #SeabirdSessions is returning!! These are one-hour online events where we interview the authors of the latest #Seabird science (and sometimes listen to a bit of music). More news coming @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social @worldseabirdunion.bsky.social #Seabirders

This post is for my straight-presenting, #Bisexual friends out there - I see you! Being asked "Are you really Bi if you're married to someone of the opposite gender" is wildly infuriating... #LoveIsLove everyone xxx Stay #queer out there!

What a privilege to receive an Australian Biosecurity Award for my research, science communication, and advocacy on HPAI. Grateful to Tiggy from Wildlife Health Australia for the nomination, and all collaborators and colleagues for making it possible! agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-...

A women-led team of 20, working remotely, is showing up a trillion dollar megacorp. Truly inspiring.

Who doesn't love a bit of #polyJamory? #music #guitars

When I was exploring my identity, this book was incredibly fascinating as it questions the standard narrative around #evolutionary #psychology in terms of relationship structures. Even if you don't connect with all of the messaging, there is some fascinating stuff here. #polyamory

Finished up this gorgeous piece about two months ago and jeez she has delivered well... Wood fired #pizza on tap!!!

#Ecologists suffer from a burden of knowledge unlike that of most careers... Not only are we often underpaid, but we are also forced to watch the things we most care about be destroyed by apathetic or malicious humans who live blissfully ignorant to the importance of the natural world.... #ecogrief

#polyamory is so much more than a lifestyle. It's an identity that requires love, honesty and communication with yourself and those around you. It can come in an infinite number of forms. Let's hope for acceptance as we enter a new age of understanding of relationships and family structures.

#GrantsHat at Halifax Stansted airport after a great week at marine renewables Canada. Made some new contacts and learned a bunch about where Canada is heading in the offshore wind sector.

Well... Looks like the X-odus has taken off in full force! Here I aim to talk about #penguins #polyamory and #pizza. Probably a bunch of #seabird #science as well!

Biblically accurate polyamory flag: the heart inside the Google Calendar logo.

Hawaiian Electric has reached a three-year settlement with the American Bird Conservancy and the Conservation Council for Hawaii to implement additional protective measures for endangered and threatened Hawaiian seabirds on Maui and Lanai. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/11/13/h...
