The world can’t wait for the U.S. to lead on #climate. 🌍 Regional alliances, ocean action & innovative finance must take the helm. Great read: “How to fight climate change without the US” (Nature) 👉 www.nature.com/articles/d41... #ClimateAction #COP30 🧪🌐

🚨Job alert! CMST are hiring an offshore fieldwork specialist to maintain our acoustic equipment, design and build moorings, manage field deployments, and join in data analysis, publication, presentation, and student support. Closing 21 Nov. staff.curtin.edu.au/job-vacancie... #bioacoustics

There’s plenty of lumpfish in the fjords, but we rarely catch them - our fishing is focused on the more mobile gadids. Yesterday’s tiny (and very cute) by-catch was definitely worth a photo. #teamfish #lumpfish #winterecology

Chronotypes exist in at least 17 fish species. Our new study in Fish and Fisheries onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Love how curious these baby (young-of-year) Atlantic cod are😍 #teamfish #ecology #iceland

Amazing day deploying #acoustic receivers in the foggy fjord 🌊🐟🌁

IRIS goes to Iceland 🧊 At the beggining of July, Theresa ( @theresahenke.bsky.social )set off for colder climates returning to the University of Iceland Research Centre of the Westfjords (& @fishiceland.bsky.social)‬ for a 6 weeks stay. Stay tuned for updates on old & new projects :)

After so many years of toil, we've finally done it. Definitive proof that guppies can quantum phase shift between dimensions. Congrats to @helenanorman.bsky.social for this game-changing discovery. 🥳 #fishsci

🎣 New paper! Combining dive surveys and beach seining reveals contrasting nursery use: 0-group saithe dominate shallow algal zones early in summer, while cod settle later and use broader depths. 📄 doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Have you ever wondered where the alien flounder found in Iceland has come from? Find out more about the flounder’s origin, implications & hybrids in today's blogpost 🐟 www.icefishresearch.com/2025/03/14/t... @fishiceland.bsky.social @mfri.bsky.social #IceFishResearch #FishIceland

New paper out: The tale of the founder flounder 🐟 link.springer.com/article/10.1... We identify the geographic origin of alien flounder in Iceland, and discuss potential implications on the flounders’ status & hybridisation ❓👀 @fishiceland.bsky.social @mfri.bsky.social

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/41zlPv4

The CODSPA project funded by NordForsk is underway! Led by Marco Vindas, researchers from Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands are joining to study how stress affects cod reproduction during spawning. The aim to ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect populations across the Nordic region.

Heartbreaking chats this week with students thinking of giving up on their dreams of getting a PhD. They worry about getting in PhD programs and careers post PhD. My suggestions: don’t be hasty, think broadly incl EU & Canada, & careers beyond traditional academia. What’re you telling your students?

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Love this time of year for the #winter color 🌊❄️ #Iceland #Westfjords #Oceans

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🗨️ "In the case of #biological #invasions, we can learn a lot from those who are directly confronted by an #invasive #species, regardless of whether they have a #scientific degree or not," - @theresahenke.bsky.social about her study published in @neobiota.pensoft.net. #InvasiveSpecies #ecology

When the same data tells a different story… 📊🔍 You’d think analyzing the same dataset would lead to the same conclusions, but our new BMC Biology study shows otherwise. Different methods - different answers! Why? It's complicated... My experience in the study → 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/02/06/w...

🚨Academic scientist friends who are members-ideally leaders- of scientific professional societies, I need your help. 🚨 There is a sign-letter being prepared that will speak out against recent politicization of scientific funding and demonization of scientific researchers. 🧪🌎🦑

How to include a human dimension in the research of biological invasions? @theresahenke.bsky.social talked to recreational anglers in Iceland to get their perspective on the spread of the European flounder. She was kind enough to share her story and findings with us! blog.pensoft.net/2025/02/06/t...

Change over time is often depicted as a trendline. But what does shape a trendline? Which forces? Our new paper presents a method allowing to “decompose” trendlines into constituent forces. Also, we tackle an old puzzle: Does culture change “one funeral at a time”? 🧵(1/8) doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

📢 New paper alert! Great @neobiota.pensoft.net work by @theresahenke.bsky.social 👏 💡 Key takeaway: Engaging fishers🎣, #iEcology, collaboration and @mfri.bsky.social open door policy provide synergy for monitoring biological invasions #InvasionBiology #iEcology #OpenAccess @hlynurb.bsky.social

Happy that my 2nd PhD paper is officially published in @neobiota.pensoft.net 🐟 Looking at flounder, we highlight the value of stakeholder observations in the monitoring of alien species 🐟🇮🇸 neobiota.pensoft.net/article/1323... @fishiceland.bsky.social @hlynurb.bsky.social @mfri.bsky.social

Great approach! As a non-programming, non-native English speaker I appreciate the leveraging potential of generative AI at the same time we need to discourage dependencies both for smaller tasks (e.g. coding) but most importantly for creative and critical thinking

Fascinating article about "tarpitting": how to trap AI crawlers and feed them nonsense data, if they ignore standard protocol requests to not extract data from a website. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
