The White-bellied Storm-petrel trip also gave up one of two deployed GLS loggers. 1st ever track. Aust. to Chile (10K km) and down towards the Antarctica coast. Unprecedented?! So hard to access remote colonies with over 80 island-days available (2009-2025) but only 8 landings possible.#Seabirds 🪶

Trump administration orders NOAA scientists to halt all international work. Staff were told to stop meetings, discussions, emails with foreign colleagues. Freeze affects travel, virtual meetings, and collaborations until political appointees review them. 🐢🌍🧪🦑

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Excellent new #OpenAccess paper by Holly Stokes and others demonstratng lack of negative impacts of satellite tracking of juvenile hawksbill turtles. Important insights from long term work. More studies appraising impacts needed 🐢🌍🧪🦑 🌐🦤

Are you curious about past ecosystems and very, I mean very extreme events?
@martacoll.bsky.social @danigeos.bsky.social and I are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate who’s not afraid of challenges
DM me to discuss
