Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.

🎓 Last Friday at @imares-group.bsky.social we held our #TFMday!
A great opportunity for our MSc students to share the research they’ve been working on these past months.
Here's a short thread with their work 👇

Interesting opportunity to learn about tipping points from the #GES4SEAS project
Tick…Tick…TIP. Don’t miss it!
It starts on June 5th.
The #ges4seas #mooc is back, and we are shifting to a new phase. We will explore how marine ecosystems can suddenly change when they reach a TIPPING POINT.

What a fantastic week in my other professional home (ICM). I learned so many new things and I cannot wait to apply them!
📽️✨ Here’s a recap of the #TEF Workshop! 🦑🌊
Five days of learning and discussion on marine trophic interactions, combining traditional and cutting-edge techniques—from chemical tracers to genetics and modeling. 🧬
Huge thanks to everyone who joined! 🙌
