Yesterday, I went back to Doñana's marshaland after almost one year. The extraordinay flooding of this spring and summer made innaccesible the area by car until now, what is a problem to replace batteries and cards of #AudioMoths. Always a luxury to work here. #BIRDeep

Following Matthias Rillig's advice, I'm celebrating that the just received evaluation of the grant #BIRDeep (2022-2024), in which I was the PI, is overall positive. The evaluation committee qualified the results of the project as "satisfactory". It's a relief and a small milestone in my career
Celebrating the small wins in academia….a reminder to myself (and maybe you….)
Please share with someone you think might also need this reminder :)

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.
