Impressive

🦇The fungus behind white-nose syndrome continues to spread across Alberta. Our latest detection, near Fort McKay, marks the northernmost detection yet. Thank you to our partners at the Wood Buffalo Wildlife Research Institute for collecting this sample. See maps at www.cwhc-rcsf.ca/white_nose_s...

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Hooray 🥳 👏👏👏 Well done @edmilibandmp.bsky.social

Awesome news! Well deserved, @jackhooker.bsky.social !!

Nice review by @thereremouse.bsky.social et al. of a new harp design that was extensively field-tested by the Croatia bat team in our Krka National Park field site this summer:

Our @opwall.bsky.social bat survey team in Croatia had the opportunity this summer to really put some Hunbat carbon fibre harp traps through their paces. Here's our review in @insideecology.bsky.social magazine. #bats #fieldwork #research #chiroptera #harptraps 🦇

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Bluesky, just here to say I appreciate you when things are otherwise no laughing matter

This is the antidote I needed this morning.

Looks like you had a great event! @battylisa.bsky.social is the best!

Ah yes, the three primary colors

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

can we possibly postpone the #rapture until after #fatbearweek ??

Finally watching The Last Kingdom and have encountered one of my historical/fantasy writing pet peeves, which is having just one or two 'old-timey' ways to say something like 'money' and then using them over and over again almost like proper nouns. In tLK, 'silver' and 'wealth;' like 'coin' Skyrim.

COVID and flu shots ✅ Have you scheduled yours yet?

Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during some operations.

Book club tonight, and it's a doozie, with The Dispossessed. I have wine chilling and cats napping. #books #scifi #dystopia

New OA 🦇 research 📄 Restoration of aquatic habitat complex extends the foraging window of terrestrial consumers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is magical

ok hear me out.... a sequel to Dead Poets Society starring Ethan Hawke as the teacher, set 30 years later.

The capacity of people to be vile never ceases to amaze me. My PI is taking toxic to a new level, has been in the lab all week refusing to speak English around me and excluding me from emails, meetings and calendars, just because I asserted my IP rights to my own research. Send cats.

We all just endured the three hottest summers on record. Except, of course, for those who didn't: thousands of people died who wouldn't have under more normal conditions. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/clim...

TLDR: I had a dream where I was killed by a tornado and I met God in the afterlife. And God is Olivia Coleman.

Charlie Kirk didn’t deserve to die, but he was an extremist. Shame on every mainstream media institution who has tried to rewrite his legacy. His real legacy is filled with racism, misogyny, homophobia, and hate. Don’t make this man a martyr.

found a friend this morning

hot take... I really am not a fan of weekends

first thing I see when I open my eyes. toe beans.

Trouble again today explaining chronic pain and fatigue to someone. It never ceases to amaze me how people can often not grasp that we aren't talking about *tiredness* ... that fatigue makes you feel like you have been hit by a truck. Today I climbed 225 steps up a tower. After that I was asked...

Trying to do all the touristy things in České Budějovice before I leave. So today I climbed the black tower.

ok I know i just woke up but I first thought this was a colourful caterpillar on a twig

🦇 A huge congratulations to our trustee @orlyrazgour.bsky.social for her @britishecologicalsociety.org Fellowship which recognises outstanding contributions to ecology across research, teaching, and its application within the international community: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/meet...

this.

We (BatLab Norway) have actually just build 6 stations from Stavanger to Lista:) We are also ready to tag, as soon as we can catch P nathusii or other migratory species

I can breathe. 17 weeks of bat trapping is officially over today.

A calm, grey 4 hours on tge ferry to Sweden. I have Finnish lager, pringles and an alt country playlist. Life might be bliss right now.

Bit of aurora here tonight in Valsörarna!

Waiting for you, @kirstymyron.bsky.social !!! Come get the bats!

Instagram repost of hand netting #bats in Finland. #chiroptera #fieldwork 🦇

As promised, migratory Nathusius's (troll) pipistrelles tagged last night here on Valsörarna. #bats #chiroptera #mammals #conservation #fieldwork #research 🦇

Just reposting a reel from my Instagram - I am currently volunteering to catch, ring, and radio tag migratory troll pipistrelle (Nathusius's pip!) on an island in the Gulf of Bothnia. More to follow... #bats 🦇

...and speaking of, if you have never listened to Pneumonia by Whiskeytown in headphones, get on it.

Anybody else listen to the same 6 albums you listened to when you were 25?

On my way to the airport again. This is when I feel the most myself. Headphones, airport, coffee. Next stop, Helsinki!
