Light pollution is causing birds around the world to sing for longer each day, prolonging their vocalizations on average by 50 minutes, according to a new study in Science. Learn more: scim.ag/3Uz7vzP
A figure showing that light pollution prolongs avian vocal activity by nearly an hour. (A) Most diurnal bird species show bimodal vocalization patterns with peaks in the morning and evening; in light-polluted landscapes (yellow shading), the first vocalizations occur earlier in the morning and the last vocalizations occur later in the evening. (B) Globally—averaged across species, space, and season—onset of morning vocalization shifted 18 min earlier in the brightest landscapes versus the darkest landscapes. (C) Similarly, evening cessation was delayed by an average of 32 min. In (B) and (C), lines are means and shaded regions are 95% confidence intervals (CI) of model predictions.

Nothing could beat the artistic wonder that is Preacher’s Daughter but this album is a close second. Influenced by underground goth clubs and sad country folk, nobody does queer yearning like Ethel ❤️ her story-building is something else... She’s making history in the industry as a trans artist

Hayden Anhedönia’s Southern-gothic storytelling made her a sensation. But her new album, “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You,” underscores her unwillingness to be a celebrity.

‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related. The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.” The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.” FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.

What a shame our Minister of Education is convinced kids’ brains are computers and is rebuilding our whole education system on junk science. But then, when you think education is about the replication of cultural power, the brain as computer metaphor is perfect.

Meeting our new undergrad Māori and Pasifika tauira tomorrow! I got asked to introduce myself and summarise my University journey so far and like… how do I put 4 years on to one page??! I think I did pretty well 😅
2021: 24 years old, after working a depressing job during COVID I was looking for purpose. First in my whanau to go to University. Went to Uni thinking I'd be a clinical psychologist . Picked Moori Studies on a whim. had no cive what twos colng.
2022: Enjoyed forensic psych, thought maybe I wanted to do Criminology. Took Crim 207: Indigenous Criminology, decided it wasn't for me. Really started to re-connect with my whakapapa.
2023: Still not sure what I wanted to do but was awarded the Prime Ministers scholarship to Asia which meant I spent summer living and working in bangkok thanks to the Uni! Worked for a Mäori professor as an RA indexing Waitangi Tribunal documents. Still not sure what I wanted to do, spoke to Michelle who suggested Honours (didn't really know what that meant but thought why not). Interviewed for what I thought was a casual Research Assistant job, turns out it was for Honours research,
2024: Got an Honours scholarship. Fell in love with research, got to travel to England for my first conference! Got to share te ao Maori with an international audience Started thinking about a future in academia working as a lecturer, supervisor and/ or tauira Māori and Pasifika support.
2025: First year doing my PhDI Graduated with First Class Honours which means a full PhD scholarship.
Working as a Tuakana Mentor and stage one psych assignment support, giving my first lecture in a few weeks 😱 absolutely LOVING conducting research ond so excited for the future. Found my passion working with tauira & helping them reach for exciting new opportunities.

There’s zero political incentive for someone no longer running for mayor to use the election spotlight to contribute to the current ‘conversation’ about gendered harassment pushing people out of NZ politics. Imagine knowing for years that a bunch of your male peers are fixated on your sex life.

Having women remove themselves from public is no solution to gendered online violence & abuse. I repeat, the solution to men abusing women is not, and never should be, for women to be less visible or less vocal. The issue is men being abusive. Men need to hold abusive men to account, not women.
