Can’t stop sleeping - JUST graduated! 🎉 Life milestones apparently take a lot of mental processing, especially when you’re a mature student who has wished for this for 20+ years! Finished top of my cohort, 3x academic prizes, an award and a prize related to the award. Absolutely crazy. Who am I?!

Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

A new way to prevent HIV delivers dramatic results in trialwww.npr.org The testing of lenacapavir was halted because results were so impressive — 100% effectiveness. The decision was made to give all participants the injection rather than the alternative daily pill.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Please enjoy this small elephant hawkmoth 💖 To help moths like this, leave some weedy/unmown areas in your garden if you have one. Do less. Don't mow eeeeverywhere. Have a sit down. If anyone asks, tell them you're looking after your local flying kittens 🦋🐈 Thank u from the Moth Promotional Board

There is nothing more DEPRESSING than this election! So here is a picture of rewilding. Rewilding is HOPE for people, nature and climate.

Excited to be taking my first CIEEM training, building CPD hours for my new career! Training is about UKHab - all about how to survey & classify habitats using this newer system that can be used for Biodiversity Net Gain planning. Loving the coding system - well structured for analysis!

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

And, now #ShowYourStripes goes to Hollywood... Ozi will soon appear in cinemas! The film, produced by Leo de Caprio, tells the story of an orphan orangutan whose home is destroyed by deforestation. Becoming an influencer, she travels across the forest to try and save it. ozivoiceoftheforest.com

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history... ...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred... ...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

🚨 Sea ice across the Hudson Bay (Canada) is observing a historic spring with record early losses of #Arctic sea ice... Each line represents one year from 1979 (purple) to 2023 (white). 2024 is in red. Data from the NSIDC using the passive microwave satellite record.

Today is #ShowYourStripes day, highlighting global warming and climate change. These stripes show that Nottingham, where I live, is not immune. We’re dangerously close to making +1.5 deg C the new norm. Find and share the stripes for where you live: showyourstripes.info 🌍 @edhawkins.bsky.social

(Plus that’s my current academic tutor on the left, who surely must think I’m stalking him by now! 🤣) You can find a Wilding showing near you at this link below - many cinemas are extending their showing dates due to popularity! www.wildingmovie.com 🌍 #Rewilding

Was wonderful to see the Wilding documentary last night, plus fascinating discussion with Q&A! Topics ranged from the green finance market to measuring baselines in the early days of rewilding (including fixed point photography!), pollinators, and #rewilding at all scales including gardens. 🌍

I've been having fun with this one. A cross-section of the Assiniboine River Valley near Miniota, Manitoba, Canada. You have to zoom in for all of the details. The final panel is going to be 8 feet wide. 🌿🎨

Times weren’t better back then. You were just in your carefree youth and are missing that time now. We tend to claim that music, fashion, TV, and society peaked when you were in your teens. It’s not the world it’s you that you are melancholic about.
