Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media.

This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

Careful here, the line 4 (yellow line) of BCN metro will be closed until August 31. Tram and bus lines might be a better option to get to the congress venue depending on where you stay #ESEB2025

Many comments mentioned plants already, so I want to add something that's not really fluorescent but cool - plants are amazing to look at (anytime but) under polarized light or DIC, almost fluorescent like. 🧪🔬🌱Some super neat examples: www.canadiannaturephotographer.com/microscopicp...

Thanks @palmaraz.bsky.social for your seminar today, which was the last one of the season before the summer break at @ebdonana.bsky.social. A great example of how maths can help us understand complex ecological processes

I'm truly thrilled to be leaving the journal in such great hands. Thank you Xavier, and good luck!!

There’s no denying that microplastics have come to stay. So the more we know about their effects on organisms and natural systems the better. Thanks @cmartin3.bsky.social for yesterday’s seminar to learn how you’re going to deal with them. Still wondering about their effects on fitness though

Potser sí que la tècnica existeix i de fet la idea no ès nova. Una altra cosa és escalar el procés per a que tingui un impacte. Però la qüestió és reduir emissions i no què fer-ne.
