I'm posting this thread to share what I've come across thus far in the quest to find an image of Eunice Foote, prompted by @KHayhoe's request during a keynote for @AAAS #AAASmtg earlier this year. #EuniceFoote 1/
I transferred my tweets to Bluesky mainly to preserve this thread on Eunice Foote I’d started in 2018. I think some made it through but it got fragmented. 😐 I’ll make an attempt to find them all and post them below 🤷

Her published results even allowed @earthsciinfo.bsky.social and @rolandjackson.bsky.social to calculate how much the world would warm if atmospheric CO2 doubled, 170 years later.

Themes of “eco grief, “climate anxiety” & “compassion fatigue” etc came up again and again at #ICCB2025. But always coupled with the need for hope, optimism, and ACTION. That’s the only viable path forward. Stoked to see this initiative brewing up in the Bay Area, will be supporting from Brisbane!🤙🍻
Doom is loud. But despair doesn’t protect oceans. Action does. That’s why we built Ocean Hoptimism: a movement grounded in story, grit, and the radical belief that hope isn’t fluff, it’s fuel. Here’s our case for hope with teeth. #OceanHoptimism #HopeToAction #OceanOptimism

There’s a bunch of ways to connect with the SCB Conservation Marketing @scbconsmark.bsky.social working group, and today at #ICCB2025 we announced the first consmark conference since 2021 will be held online during the first week of December 2025! Stay tuned for more!

#ICCB2025 @meg-shaw.bsky.social: Avoid using photos of ourselves interacting with (especially touching) wildlife b/c it makes others want to do it too & think wildlife would make a good pet & also that the species is less under threat. Plus 41% don’t read IG captions (ie researchers “explaining”)

Stoked to see so many #ICCB2025 delegates posting here! 🤙 Appreciate the opportunity to present in the Participatory & Citizen Science session on behalf of my team; I shared some takeaways on volunteer engagement & retention within a koala citizen science context. And some memes.

Some people hear “optimism” and think:
Unserious.
Unrealistic.
Out of touch.
Let’s bust that myth. Optimism isn’t denial. It’s strategy.
Here’s why we believe in hope with teeth. 🧵

🧵 Why does some content go viral?
A dance.
A jingle.
A sea shanty.
“Baby Shark” has 14 billion views.
What if we used that same energy, not for a cartoon shark, but for real people keeping oceans alive?
Let’s unpack.

Happy to see things have finally (for the most part) transitioned to #WorldOceanDay i.e. #DropTheS 🌏🏆
Had forgotten my tweets about that ported over here 👀
I made it a “tradition” to post something annoying every year complaining on one platform or other, going back > 10 years!😂🤷 World OCEAN Day FTW

Social media can both help & harm wildlife. Misused images fuel illegal trade & false perceptions, but they can also drive change. Join us at @iccb2025.bsky.social to co-create guidelines for ethical imagery that supports conservation, not harm.

If you use marketing to influence behaviors for health/social/environmental good, or know others who should be on the list, let me know and I'll add you.
