We are delighted to host an RCN symposium on light pollution as a driver of insect declines. May 12th-14th, Penryn. We will draw on academics, industry, planners & NGOs to explore issues & seek solutions. Free registration, but limited places!

Insect populations are undergoing significant declines, and artificial light at night has been identified as a potentially major – but often poorly understood – threat to insect biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Our international symposium, the first of its kind, aims to bring together leading researchers, conservationists, policy makers, NGOs, and those working in industry, both locally and globally. We will aggregate existing knowledge concerning the direct and indirect consequences of artificial light at night for insect biodiversity and will use workshops and an expert scan of future research priorities to explore new avenues to reduce the ecological impact of light pollution.

Done with my first semester of lectures at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences!

My favorite moment is shown below - students play with the stand-up spinning top 😍 much like nobel laureates Wolfgang Pauli and Niels Bohr.
