I am so excited to kick off this project.

Current #tourism models are unsustainable for local communities & their ecosystems but traveling is still so important to connect people & cultures. VERNE will promote #sustainable #circulareconomy solutions! I would encourage anyone interested to follow 🐋
Curious about #VERNE? Over the next 3 years, we’ll be:
🌿 Promoting #CircularSolutions to cut emissions & boost reuse in #tourism
🌊 Co-developing solutions with diverse stakeholders
💡 Launching a one-stop hub for sustainable tourism

…and so much more! 🌍✨ #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

Essential steps for #ScienceCommunication to foster evidence-based decision-making in policy and society. 👇

While created for scientists in biodiversity conservation, these Dos and Don'ts offer valuable guidance for communicating in any scientific field.

Read the paper for more details 🤓
We emphasize the role of science journalism and other institutions specialized in science communication in critically mediating the complexity of scientific knowledge.

A reason to love working in Italy - receiving massive box of pasta as part of a Christmas gift 😍 looking forward to trying some new recipes… although I am not sure how I will eat 5000 grams of pasta! open to #recipe suggestions & I need to plan a #pasta party soon 🎄

We didn't find many reptiles and amphibians while in Colombia, but I did spot this cute little glass frog while on my way back to the lodge one night. 🌿🧪

I hate getting up for early morning flights but this view definitely helps… as does the ability to sleep on a plane 😅

One of my favorite photos of an #mammoth skeleton. It is enormous and so freaking cool! It was discovered in the Abruzzo region of Italy in 1954 and has been housed in a #castle there ever since.

Just to note I have no idea who the guy I used for scale is but thank you stranger 👋
