Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season: 🧵 * Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals. * We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water. 1/

Europe may have up to 500,000 landfills: many unmapped, forgotten and compromised. Our modelling shows the scale of risk. We also documented sites leaking PFAS, heavy metals, plastics and other toxins. www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/europe...

Australia, good news! Introducing the Australian Bryde’s Whale Catalogue (ABWC). We are slowly growing a dorsal fin catalogue of whales that are seen in Australian waters. Team effort- @happywhale_official and the ABWC is teaming up to help collect observations. youtu.be/A7fiM78IaCI

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

Published records of fish social systems are valuable, but often lost in the literature; informal observations can fill gaps. ShoalBase can centralise literature and log new observations so patterns become visible. Know a paper? Please add it! Seen a behaviour? Please add that too! shoalbase.org

Rogan claimed that climate models have been wrong and thus global warming predictions can’t be believed. It’s easy to set the Impossible expectation that models must be perfect, but in reality, climate models have been remarkably accurate, unlike predictions from contrarians like Lindzen (7/11)
