”Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. But how does it differ in forest conservation assessment. New article of today.

Glad midsommar! Dagen till ära kommer ett låtsläpp om hur det gick till under firandet när seklet var ungt.

Today we are celebrating midsummer eve in Sweden. I recorded an old song about this.

I was talking about the spruce bark beetle during ca 30 min in a podcast named ”Dra åt skogen” organized by Skogsällskapet. Unfortunately, only in Swedish. open.spotify.com/episode/6IQB...

Me on Swedish radio talking about grass snakes. The angle is a awkward as I talked about how to approach them to have a nice experience, and they talked about how to not get attacked by them. It’s how media can angle everything they want. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/slin...

Suck. Ja varför lyssna forskare? De brukar ju komma med ganska jobbiga besked. Enklare att stoppa huvudet i sanden och köra på...

10 years ago, I defended my thesis. Now (or soon) is the last chapter out there. 7 years of fieldwork and 1000 bark samples. Apparently, I am a researcher on fungal communities as well…

How did your academic journey start? For me it was aquariums and terrariums as a kid. Now I am associate professor in biology. The Swedish authorities doesn’t like house pets and now they want to destroy that opportunity. You will need a ~1m2 terrarium at minimum, and not feed with live insects.

"Självklart ska politiker lyssna på väljarna men det är att förnedra oss att lova det omöjliga och sedan skylla på oss när det inte går att leverera, för att vi trodde på löftet. Och det är att undervärdera oss att behandla oss som skrikande barn som kräver godis och genast ska få allt vi vill ha."

A very touching moment to see Carl von Linnaeus collection of reptiles and amphibians. Here I am with his grass snake. At the Evolutionary Museum of Uppsala, Sweden.

Busy days at the museum. Working with >100 year old specimen. The extensive number and variety that museums have are a goldmine for research. Evolutionary Museum of Uppsala this time.

Me and my family is living in a old house. Today I got an old bible as a gift from a neighbor. We bought the house from A, and A bought the house from B, and Bs great grandfather was born in 1812, and moved to our house in 1846. It was his bible. I sense the tide of history.

New paper in @nature.com led by @patricepottier.bsky.social! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? See thread🧵

At home we have a small-scale aquaponic system (give herb nutrients via live fish). Too many fish and large growing sallad, basilica and coriander now 😂. Inspire us to build something larger…

The spruce bark beetle in Sweden has spontaneously killed the non-native lodge pole pine. No one knows why?

Oh oh oh. Bark beetle surprise 🪲What happens under the bark? What we found was that nature conservation areas did matter less than local forest characteristics per se. And a roooookie enemy. Don’t miss!!!!
