Wow. @fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social you’ve forgotten to take your tablets. Time for fifa to go.

William Bond was an extraordinary ecologist and his influence will be felt for a very long time. I’m glad to have learned from him.

Three books by W. Bond and collaborators: Fire and plants (1996), Fire in Mediterranean ecosystems (2012), and Open ecosystems (2019).

I'm very sad to say William Bond, of the University of Cape Town & Fellow of the Royal Society (@royalsociety.org ), has passed away. It is a great loss. He was an enthusiastic ecologist and a critical thinker. I learned a lot, and I still had a lot to learn from him. RIP. 😢

O no. That is very sad news.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending a couple of weeks with him in Brazil. I too learned a lot, laughed a lot, had my logic torn apart a lot, and was shown how to put it together again. I had dearly hoped to see him again.

I’ll have a gin and tonic this sundown🍸

lol. What a thoughtful gift. You’ve outdone yourself this year.

I’m in. Totally support this model.

That’s not fair, you know I can’t say no to you

What’s the new journal?

Think I might be done reviewing for for profit journals.

Here's a new PhD scholarship in ecology or taxonomy at Lincoln University, New Zealand. Open to domestic and international students with applications due on 28 Feb 2026.

Best to chat to potential supervisors first.

It honours an amazing life in science.
