We need more provocative papers like this …

Watched it yesterday. Hilarious, the Beavis and Butthead of Birding...😆

New paper on rodent borne spoilers with a great group of colleagues

Excellent choice! Amazing work!

Our political cartoonists know the score. (Clay Bennett for the Chattanooga Times Free Press)

Really excellent review

Well said, Mo Salah. Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by IDF forces whilst waiting for food aid in southern Gaza.

Good news for Ireland and Austria....

I’m pretty sure neither her “ass” or her “hips” know which bathroom she’s supposed to use.

I posted to Twitter for what looks like the fifth time this year yesterday. Checked back today and the post has 39,000 likes, 3.2k retweets — and 9 replies, and 4 quote tweets. I'm sorry folks those numbers ain't real. Bordering on a statistical impossibility. It's gotta be almost entirely fake.

Great to work on this amazing paper with Gates DuPont www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“For centuries, we’ve mapped mountains, forests, and oceans. But these fungi have remained in the dark, despite the extraordinary ways they sustain life on land.” @tobykiers.bsky.social , @spun.earth

As always, Larry and Paul get it spot on!

Zero scandals, strong leadership. Repost if you like President Obama too 🙌🏻

Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law.

Very nice summary of our recent paper on emergence and LLMs: bdtechtalks.com/2025/07/14/l...

"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.

Expanding H-2A’s can help some of these workers and the industry, but it’s not going to help long-term unauthorized folks some of whom are profiled here. Great overview, including remarks about mechanization. But apricots turn brown by looking at them www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

The 2025 Bat Infectious Disease meeting is now on. Looking forward to several excellent talks, along with talks by Rita and Victoria from my lab. #BatID Thanks to Dr. Cara Brook and her lab for organizing and hosting us!

Skip the editorial by the director of Trump's Office of Science and Technology Policy on "sound science." Read the letter by John Holdren instead: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

ANTS: We're just waiting for this 'ere aphid to squeeze out a drop of honeydew. Oh come on, we haven't got all day...

My first ever newspaper byline — and it’s in the state paper I grew up reading with my dad. 🥹 www.nj.com/opinion/2025...

🚨2 months ago, every National Weather Service Director of the last 34 years took the unprecedented step of signing a joint, open letter. “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life.” The Houston office is 44% UNDERSTAFFED.

Vital and deeply disconcerting reading...

Vital and deeply disconcerting reading...

"The treaty withdrawals threaten to erode fundamental tenets of international humanitarian and human rights law. Withdrawals from multilateral disarmament treaties have been extremely rare until now, which makes these denunciations grave & concerning." europeanleadershipnetwork.org/commentary/l...

Happy birthday, loser!

proud to have @padilla.senate.gov representing me and angry about how he was treated today

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

I urge others to similarly support our patriots at NIH who use their training and talents to improve human health and position the US as the world’s leader in biomedical discovery, innovation and technology development 🙏

You want to know what #climate scientists got wrong about #climatechange? We were too cautious. It's happening faster than we anticipated and the impacts are going to be worse.

I was already looking forward to reading this new book by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social: ‘Is a River Alive?’. After reading this @theguardian.com essay I’m counting down the hours to this Thursday May 1…

In Catalonia, Spain, April 23rd is a holiday where people exchange books and roses with loved ones as the streets fill with book stalls and flower vendors.

The White House is expected to ask Congress to wipe out the entire biological research program at the U.S. Geological Survey. www.science.org/content/arti...

More roadkill, around the village. Please slow down for wildlife.

The shoes at the Auschwitz Museum remind us of the brutal loss of Jewish lives, murdered by the Nazis. I wonder who will gather the shoes, toys, and children's books of the kids and their families assassinated in Gaza? And will their killers ever be judged?

Ten years ago, Pope Francis published “Laudato Si.’” This is a good day to reread it and hear his call to save our planet. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/04/w...

We saw 7 bison calfs today on Blacktail and none yesterday. All looked fresh, dazed, with umbilicals. Also cool Chase of bison here by large wolf pack at Tower junction around 7.00am

This is called ‘The Futures aren’t Bright, the Futures are Orange’.

Repeated tracks of migrating species really powerful for understanding migration determinants. Interesting new work on Common Terns, which will chime with experience of inland birders that headwinds often produce waders/seabirds (presume partly because lower altitude to reduce headwind?) #UKbirding

Here’s a poem called ‘Prayer for Uninteresting Times’.

US research cuts will likely shift science’s epicenter to Europe and Asia—but at what cost? This isn’t progress, it’s displacement. What’s lost is momentum and the potential for global collaboration. 🧪 #AcademicSky
