Wonderfully rich & hilarious session at the International Seaweed Symposium tapping onto the wisdom of the world’s #seaweed wizards - all of the them self declared accidental phycologists & including my first seaweed mentor Michael Guiry #ISS25

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️

Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally.

See the thread below for a digest 🧵

Check out this wonderful article about how languages are shaped by their environment and carry vast traditional ecological knowledge, which is lost when they disappear. Language preservation can & should be part of #conservation
My latest piece for @noemamag.com is about the connection between languages and nature. Where plant and animal species are disappearing, languages, dialects and unique expressions often follow a similar pattern of decline.
We’ve created languages that specialize in talking about subjects as varied as the stars to snow to seaweed. But just like so much of our natural world, climate change is putting them at risk, @jwebsterayuso.bsky.social writes.

Great to learn about #QualNotes from Danielle Drozdzewski and Jose Berengueres, an app to collect qualitative data combining text, maps, images and video

Dearest friend Kike Ballesteros left us on Nov 27th. Internationally renowned ecologist, naturalist, conservationist & science communicator.
I will deeply miss his generosity, curiosity, wisdom, joy & enthusiasm for life & nature. I will be forever grateful for his guidance & inspiration.
