On my academic bucket list: publish an empty book (with a fancy title) about a topic I want to write about but haven’t yet found time to do so. Make it 400 pages and footnotes. #academicchatter

Cool topic! Was there a slide on some tips to survive the modern world?
Vibe coding is the creation of large quantities of complex AI-generated code. Executives push lay-offs claiming AI can handle the work. Managers pressure employees to meet quotas of how much code must be AI-generated... yet results are far from what was promised 1/

Le sénateur Duplomb prétend que la filière des betteraviers pourrait disparaître si l’on n’autorise pas à nouveau l’acétamipride. Or, selon des chiffres déterrés par “Le Canard”, se passer de ce néonicotinoide n’a que peu d’impact sur les récoltes…

PFAS are linked to cancer and contaminate our water and food - yet chemical giants are lobbying to weaken protections to our health. Europe can still act. I just signed. Will you? action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-01...
Insect acoustic communication, yay! #bioacoustics
Such cool results
Intriguing! Does anyone at #bioacoustics know other species with the same biais?
Could we get a video to listen to the frogs? I am curious to hear how "tiny" they sound.
Merci!
Nice initiative! Tagging 🧪
Students at @umeauniversitet.bsky.social turned bacterial math models into a playable game, BacMan, with IceLab researchers Josephine Solowiej-Wedderburn & Eric Libby.
A fun way to explore microbial competition and cooperation!

Koen de Reus recorded 1,000+ hours of pup calls for his PhD at our Institute and Radboud University, with @pieterburen.bsky.social He discovered seal pups take turns when they ‘talk’ and even develop local accents. Surprisingly human!

Which is why the habitats they fight to return to must be protected.
Weakening protections for key sites for nature would push our already struggling wildlife closer to collapse.
Yet the UK Government is considering doing just that.

They produce this sound in the mound.
Not so interested in where they stridulate but more in what context. I did an experiment but I have hours of recordings to sift through... and a project to finish before I can dive into this question.
Stay tuned! 😉
Vidéo drôle et pédagogique. Quelles sources sont disponibles pour comprendre le fonctionnement de ces pesticides?
L'ARN c'est une molécule qui transporte de l'information génétique et qui ne fait rien toute seule🤔
Décevant de voir qu'on n'applique pas le principe de précaution.
Interesting! Tagging because it is about an acoustic repertoire #bioacoustics
This #NationalNestboxWeek, remember not all birds nest the same way!
Here's a few options to get you started...

Thanks! It was really exciting to see in real time too
