Moth Survival Strategies And A Rodent Thumbnail Mystery Moths’ evolutionary split between bright warning colors and subtle camouflage depends on the context. Plus, mysteries of the rodent thumbnail.

From blending in to standing out: A new study explores what helps moths avoid predation best. Plus, would you recognize a rodent hand if you saw one?

The High-Tech Lab Unlocking Secrets Of Coral Reproduction At a lab in the heart of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, scientists are breeding corals to be more resilient to rising ocean temperatures.

In a cutting-edge lab, scientists are growing baby corals that can adapt to warming oceans. What they discover could help save reefs around the world. 🪸

We’ve also looked at the mental health impacts of increasing and more severe extreme weather events in Ireland in our paper: “Identifying impacts of extreme weather events on mental health in Ireland using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) index and machine learning”

Can’t wait to read this! We discussed similar points in our paper, “Evaluating the GHG emissions, land use, and water use of dietary patterns in Ireland.” We also modelled 2050 scenarios vs. ‘business-as-usual.’

It’s crazy when you realize that Ireland has one of the lowest levels of forest cover in Europe (~11.6%). With most just Sitka spruce plantations, short-term economics over long-term resilience. Mixed native forests would be better for biodiversity, carbon storage, and resistance to fire or disease.

One of my favourite views ☺️

Aye, need to prioritise people and not cars. What about the logistics of Dublin (e.g., being fairly cramped and narrow with limited space)? Or the roads along the Liffey or in the city centre? Like the canals hardly have room to expand their bike paths w/o eating into private property or walk paths.

We definitely need this!
With the narrow roads in Dublin (pedestrian path, “bike lane” (aka bus lane), bus lane, and car lane), what do you propose can be done?

Exactly! And One Health is also a key aspect 🌍

“Assessing the One Health (ecosystem, animal and human health) impacts of current dietary patterns based on farm-to-fork life cycle assessment in the Republic of Ireland”

We see outdoor BBQs quite often in the Liberties! 😊 (Along with increased food poisoning cases after nice days)

🙌 Exactly! And absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!

💬 “Despite innovations in healthcare waste disposal, there is no scalable, global green solution at present.”

We hope this work informs both research and policy toward safer, more sustainable healthcare systems globally.

There’s an urgent need for:
・Scalable, sustainable healthcare waste disposal technologies
・Equitable global access and infrastructure
・Stronger policy frameworks and training programs

Our review highlights a growing contributor to the global health crisis: poorly managed healthcare waste. Without intervention, these methods will continue to pose serious risks to both the planet and public health—especially in low-resource settings.
