A vibrant moment from the Chumash Day Pow Wow and Inter-tribal Gathering at Malibu Bluffs Park, celebrating 24 years of tradition. A participant in traditional attire, adorned with colorful feathers, intricate beadwork, and a bright floral headband, performs a ceremonial ritual surrounded by smoke, reflecting cultural richness and spiritual connection.

Indigenous and local knowledge can shape transformative change.🌏🧪

Many Indigenous Peoples and local communities have views and practices aligned with a just & sustainable world. Their ethics of care and values inspire equitable & inclusive change.

Throughout the creation process of this publication figure not only did I have the opportunity to learn about different types of justice, but also to work with a very good friend (and collaborator).
Congrats to all the authors!

Biophobias—fear of nature’s elements—don’t just impact mental health. They ripple through wildlife and public health, ecosystems & culture. We argue: it's time to frame biophobias as a One Health issue, tackling them with integrated solutions.

Another publication figure out! Why are subterranean ecosystems important? Read it here! (and congrats to the authors)

Thanks!

Exactly!

Great to see our paper and my illustration/figure out!

Close-up photo of a dark, metallic click beetle resting on a textured, dark brown and black surface. The beetle has an elongated body with parallel grooves running lengthwise along its hardened wing covers.

A photo of a small yellow and greenish songbird perched on the tip of a leafy branch against a plain blue-gray background. The bird is facing left, with sunlight illuminating its bright yellow chest and head.

Happy to see my illustration out as part of this interesting and very relevant paper!

My pleasure!

Voilà! This ( #graphicfacilitation) infographic summarises the main take-home messages provided by the participants in the Consortium Meeting at the Final Conference of ‘Cool School - Nature-based #climate action from schools to cities’ #research #climateadaptation #climatechange #education #schools

Thanks!!

Here is the image that I created for ‘Cool School - Nature-based climate action from schools to cities’ and its final conference. The elements within it represent the different work packages. coolschools.eu.

Locations of aquatic studies included in the dataset (n = 135 studies) classified within eight biogeographic realms. The sizes of the circles are proportional to the number of studies per country in each biogeographic realm.

📢 GLOSSAQUA is out in Ecology @esajournals.bsky.social. Big collaboration w/40+ coauthors led by myself, @chaevangelista.bsky.social & @ignasiarranz.bsky.social. It compiles global size spectra parameters from aquatic ecosystems globally👉: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.... #datapaper #aquaticecology 🌍🧪🧵(1/4)

New global data ready for assessing macroecological body size patterns across ecosystems! With @zzeynepersoy.bsky.social and @chaevangelista.bsky.social leading this effort plus 40 more researchers! Funded by @sibecol.bsky.social

It’s out! (with some of my illustrations, like the cartoon here)

💡Un poco de inspiración para fomentar los espacios de brainstorming

No te pierdas la infografía que realizó
@jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social en nuestro primer Workshop de la convocatoria Forward Thinking, #MACROsize

It was a lot of fun to create this infographic through the #graphicfacilitation of the #workshop on the project MACROSIZE. It explains/summarises how the workshop worked.
#biodiversity #research #scienceillustrations #scienceart #ecology #biology

Look at one of the amazing outcomes from the last workshop organized at the @iicg-urjc.bsky.social made by the brilliantly scientific illustrator @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social!

It summarizes key aspects in how to foster workshops, framing a space for brainstorming, and planning future strategies

Great illustration by @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social on how to organize a scientific workshop with our example of MACROsize @iicg-urjc.bsky.social @ignasiarranz.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure!

👀Jagoba Malumbres, a scientific illustrator who participated in our first ‘MACROsize’ Workshop, has prepared an infographic on the process of promoting research workshops, using this workshop as a case study.

💡A bit of inspiration to encourage brainstorming spaces 💡

New paper figure is out! So happy to see it published after a few years. Congrats to the authors!
