A beautiful afternoon along Hudson Bay with a bunch of polar bears. It was much too warm for this time of year, so the bears were resting up and saving their energy.

What we're witnessing with
#Melissa
is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Flagging this both because it's cool research, and because the graphs shown here illustrate a very important best-practice of showing both the curves/confidence intervals and the raw data points themselves whenever possible.

Despite the chaos of moving back to the UK this week, I managed to squeeze in a bit of trapping. We caught and ringed five bats of three species before the temperature dropped and ended the survey early. 🦇

There is no currently no test for the condition and patients tend to be diagnosed based on symptoms, which means many can go undiagnosed for years. Continue reading...

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.
