* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

Europe may have up to 500,000 landfills: many unmapped, forgotten and compromised. Our modelling shows the scale of risk. We also documented sites leaking PFAS, heavy metals, plastics and other toxins.

Australia, good news! Introducing the Australian Brydeβs Whale Catalogue (ABWC). We are slowly growing a dorsal fin catalogue of whales that are seen in Australian waters.
Team effort- @happywhale_official and the ABWC is teaming up to help collect observations.

This is great. Id guess that we potentially have 1000s...maybe 10s of 1000s of relevant behaviour associated with presence observations in the Australian fishes project

π§΅1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

Published records of fish social systems are valuable, but often lost in the literature; informal observations can fill gaps. ShoalBase can centralise literature and log new observations so patterns become visible. Know a paper? Please add it! Seen a behaviour? Please add that too! shoalbase.org

Time series of annual GISTEMP data from 1880 onwards with an estimate for 2025 based on Jan-Oct data showing that it will be cooler than 2024, but probably a little warmer than 2023.
Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

Visual summaries of the additions made to the datasets and recordings in FishSounds Versions 2 and 3. Top: Lollipop plot of the number of total and newly added references per publication year. Left: Spectrograms of select recordings added to the FishSounds database in the latest versions, showing representative grunts and boatwhistles of the Gulf toadfish and very fast repetitive ticks of a salmon that could not be identified to species. Right: Bar plot of the number of total and newly added recordings on the FishSounds database, either hosted on the website or through links to FishBase and the Macaulay Library.

New publication about all the exciting additions we made to FishSounds throughout versions 2 and 3: doi.org/10.1111/geb....!
Since then, we've added even more recordings thanks to the FishEye Collaborative, and we have a lot more planned for next year!
Rogan claimed that climate models have been wrong and thus global warming predictions canβt be believed. Itβs easy to set the Impossible expectation that models must be perfect, but in reality, climate models have been remarkably accurate, unlike predictions from contrarians like Lindzen (7/11)
