SEAGROW is GO!
The world is your…. 🦪 fantastic work from @ulsterwildlife.bsky.social and Belfast Harbour!
It’s a grey thing, with creamy patches around its eyes and large mascara-like smears running from the eyes outwards. Long arms clinging to a narrow tree branch. General Chewbacca vibe.
Good morning here is your emergency sloth
It’s Trinity Open Day and one of the most common questions I get asked is ‘what kind of jobs do zoologists do?’ - so we asked our alumni… youtu.be/lJr4AsZ_rLc?...
Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest.

We also launched the BRICONS project this week! There's a lot of work to do restoring habitats in the face of global change!

SEAGROW has begun! We cannot wait to get started quantifying all the benefits of regenerative ocean farming! @tcddublin.bsky.social
Delighted to see the Living Seawalls in Ireland!

Ugh so frustrating! Just hurry up and build it! 🚆
The Irish media bear significant responsibility for Ireland's lack of progress.
The example below illustrates this clearly. Their deference to climate-denying billionaires like Michael O'Leary is so deeply ingrained that it's often overlooked — but it continues to undermine real progress.
She’d definitely get my vote! #Aras25 #spéirghorm

this is why #InverteFest encourages you to smell the flowers and ogle the critters. cameras have gotten exponentially better over the years and EVERYONE has a high chance of making scientific discoveries in normal places.
the brilliant @marianacerca.bsky.social is highlighted this week by EU4Algae! Read about her groundbreaking work linking seaweed science and society! maritime-forum.ec.europa.eu/eu4algae-int...
This review clearly shows that macroalgal decomposition rates vary significantly between experimental approaches and are severely underestimated when a refractory pool is not considered, impacting scaled-up estimates of macroalgal carbon export to the deep ocean 🌊🌱

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.
