That should be no surprise. It is important that we think carefully what we want students to learn and how to assess that.

Indeed, and especially marine life that lives fixed to a rock and can't run away from the heat

Ja, wel zin in!

We are delighted to invite you to the interdisciplinary workshop of @animalinvention.bsky.social on Agency between Biology and Philosophy. It will take place at UCL and online on 22-23 September. All info and registration details can be found here: www.animalinventiveness.com/post/interna...

An enormous marine heat wave, coupled with a developing El Niño, could increase the risk of coral bleaching, kelp forest stress, harmful algal blooms, food web disruptions, and unprecedented storms. Oceans are sending a clear signal. The question is: are we going to listen? 🌊

In Nederlands grootste en meest afgelegen natuurgebied, de Doggersbank, wordt nog volop met sleepnetten gevist. Wat is er nodig om deze kraamkamer van de Noordzee werkelijk te beschermen? Ik ging een dag mee de Noordzee op. Mijn verhaal nu in @groene.nl: www.groene.nl/artikel/ik-z...

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

AI hóeft niet te leiden tot post truth schrijfsels, als wetenschappers kritisch blijven op AI-gegenereerde tekst en lezen en controleren en nadenken, eigenlijk wat het leuk maakt om wetenschapper te zijn.

De oceaan is warmer dan ooit. En die temperatuurstijging zal zich blijven voortzetten. „Het is een ramp in slow motion.”

On average, global ocean temperatures right now are the hottest in our historical records for this time of year! Follow along at zacklabe.com/climate-chan... 🌊

I often wondered why some bacteria encode so many different biosynthetic gene clusters, but the answer may be partly in this:

Gekweekte platte oesters moeten de zeebodem in de Noordzee redden. De kunstmatige oesterriffen kunnen niet alleen windparken en onderzeese kabels beschermen, maar herbergen zelf ook weer een rijk onderwaterleven buff.ly/JA5EO75

Volgens socioloog Ulrich Beck raakt de behoefte aan welvaart verzadigd. Daardoor groeit de aandacht voor de gevaren die de toegenomen rijkdom veroorzaakt.

Days after the Trump administration vowed to dismantle a deep-ocean observation system, the European Union said it would bolster its own monitoring of the world’s oceans to improve climate forecasting and better anticipate changes to marine ecosystems.

Beste mensen [email protected] Volgens mij hebben jullie je layout op de website veranderd. Best jammer voor de mensen die in Groningen en Noord Fryslan wonen.... want die zijn wat achter een balk verdwenen.

Het echte nieuws hier is dat Europese landen ook te krenterig zijn om deze meetinfrastructuur structureel te financieren — terwijl het stilvallen van de AMOC juist voor Europa één van de grootste klimaatrisico’s vormt.

Perhaps we should not call it a crisis. Population decline not caused by major disasters may be the best way to stop growth growth growth of the human population.

It is abnormal indeed, and it comes after a similar year last year. So no time for recovery and too fast for adaptation.
