👀📄 Happy to share a major effort, by +50 (early) career scientists, arguing that todays academia is holding back scientific creativity and the development/pursuit of high risk and bold ideas! Those particularly burdend? Early-career researchers!

This is a great read about why the "Ocean Cleanup" project didn't work as well as hoped. There are so many parallels with other well-intentioned efforts -- including in the climate space -- that don't pan out because folks ignored the science.... therevelator.org/why-ocean-cl...

Why The Ocean Cleanup Hasn’t Solved the Plastic Pollution Crisis • The Revelator

Global problems are rarely solved by one person or invention. The Ocean Cleanup didn’t work, for the reasons experts said it wouldn’t. What can we learn from this?

For every £1 directed toward protecting nature in 2023, £33 went toward destroying it. A landmark new @ipbes.net report sets out what businesses need to do, and the tools already exist to do it. We've written a short explainer on what it means in practice. buff.ly/nXdzzW7

A new study in @nature.com shows that abrupt changes to Antarctica’s currents, ice and glaciers are already underway – and likely to significantly intensify in the future, with global impacts for generations to come.🧪🌏 Read more in @theconversation.com

From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them

The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.

💡 Think carefuly about the analytical choices made when relating #eDNA #concentrations to species #abundance and #density! ⚠️ We show that a variety of (suboptimal) methods are used to investigate these relationships, and that these problematic statitiscs lead to flawed outcomes 👇 #OA article below

Script that automates visualization of several biodiversity metrics with some neat features: github.com/thesnakeguy/.... Largely relying on the #obisindicators package.

I combined my love for snakes🐍 with data science to study climate change impacts on the snake diversity in Europe. Cold‐adapted snakes and W. Europe will be impacted the most. Protecting refuges & resilient habitats is key. Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Snakes in Europe Under Climate Change: Is It Getting Too Hot for the Cold‐Blooded?

Modelled projections indicate a widespread decline in ecological suitability for snakes across Europe, with cold-adapted species demonstrating particular vulnerability to global warming.
