Richest nations ‘exporting extinction’ with demand for beef, palm oil and timber Consumption in wealthy countries including US and UK is responsible for 13% of global forest loss beyond their borders, study finds

"Globally, habitat loss is the biggest threat to most species and about 90% is caused by conversion of wild habitats to agricultural land."

Bunbury is lovely - enjoy the heat !

Word writing secrets in a nutshell.

Most academics make writing harder than it needs to be.

Your 10,000-word paper could be 7,000.

And it would hit harder.

Love this cool wordcloud generator using my pubs from PubMed - really helps clarify what my research is about - figuratively and literally the patient is at the centre

All - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
