Fjord- og kystfisket etter torsk i Skagerrak og Oslofjorden er ikke som før. Mulighetene både for yrkesfiske og fritidsfiske for matauk har dermed kollapset for halve Norges befolkning. La oss se litt på hva vi har mistet og kan få tilbake ved mer bærekraftig forvaltning. 1997: Kragerø. 17 kg. 1/

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

🧵 1/4 🔬💧 Over 600 scientists from across Europe have signed a joint statement calling on the EU to urgently update its water pollution rules. 📢 Freshwater ecosystems are collapsing - and outdated policies aren't keeping up. Full statement ➡️ www.fba.org.uk/fba-voice/sc... #HandsOffNature

It's thrilling to see an angelshark swim past a camera in Cardigan Bay, Wales. First sighting in years! As I wrote in What the Wild Sea Can Be, angelsharks are critically endangered but they are certainly not gone. There's so much to fight for in our ocean 💙🌊🦑🦈 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

STUDY: Denmark tracked over a million children for 21 years, and found vaccines linked to zero extra cases of autism, asthma, or 48 other conditions. Vaccines are safe, effective, and the best way to eradicate preventable disease. Period.

Kommer ni ihåg att svensk vattenförvaltning har ambitionen (sort of) att ha "Full koll på våra vatten"? Här är ännu ett inslag som visar hur regeringen prioriterar havsmiljöövervakning. Miljöövervakning = Ofta en mycket bra mätare av hur mycket man bryr sig om en miljö. www.svt.se/nyheter/inri...

“The mythical man-month” is a classic for a reason. The reality is that for each added body, your project is PROLONGED by a month. Can’t say why I know, but if your management was ever cursed by the outsource or intern you didn’t ask for, you will know. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myt...

Can’t believe this needs to be said but here we are. The MMR vaccine DOES NOT contain pieces of aborted fetuses. The vaccine contains weakened forms of measles, mumps, and rubella viruses and inactive ingredients like rHSA, neomycin, and sorbitol to stabilize the solution. That’s it.

We are really close to reaching this weeks goal! Only 6,500$ left to fundraise today! While it’s a big number to fundraise over the Sunday, but we fundraised even more. Excavators save lives! Share and like the post! www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

Academics should be jealous of the viewership that Wikipedia gets, but may be struggling with the incentive to only write for journals. Good news: you can do both in one go! Submit to WikiJournal of Science (a Scopus-indexed journal) a candidate Wikipedia article (or revision of an existing one).

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Not sure whether the Nybroån-specimen from 1975 came from Baltic- or Barent Sea stocking... But they have at least been there before. They seem to have survived well in the Baltic (given the size of some adults captured) so maybe establishment is just a numbers game...

Pink salmon were stocked into the Soviet Baltic rivers some decades ago and did not establish. Hopefully, they won't survive very well. But things might have changed since then...

Nu har projektet #ImproveAquaticLIFE en egen hemsida. Jag länkar såklart till undersidan som omfattar de restaureringar av stenrev i Skåne som jag arbetar med. På sidan kommer man bl.a. kunna följa hur många av åtgärderna som har utförts och läsa rapporter från arbetet. #SweGreen #SverigeUnderYtan

Our new #SLUAqua paper summarises the development and deployment of a mobile electronic monitoring system. Twenty vessels in the Swedish small-scale fleet have carried the systems so far, with the aim of better detecting protected species bycatch. #EM4FISH 🦑 🐬🧪🌎

New #SLUAqua research paper shows that pink #salmon are present in a river only 35 km from the entrance to the Baltic Sea, which means there is a high risk pink salmon will spread into the Baltic Sea in the coming years. 🦑 🧪🌎

Global average temperatures are spiking, rising faster than climate models seem able to explain, and in a sane world, every country would be united in a full-scale effort to figure this out & respond. Instead the US is dismantling its scientific infrastructure.

Look what turned up 😱🐟 #finspan

A fun short paper we wrote about new plant species discovered and subsequently described thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social records, with recommendations for optimising this process into the future!
