Indigenous Australians share the racist messages they receive online: ‘No one’s feeling safe’ Australia has announced an inquiry into racism and hate directed at First Nations people, as Lidia Thorpe says racism has ‘never been this bad’

Important read about the incredibly ugly racist hate, abuse & threats Indigenous Australians get

"Many noted a marked uptick in violent rhetoric since the failed voice to parliament referendum in 2023."

“A lot of people in general feel really comfortable being racist.” 1/

Done! Sorry about that

If you’re interested/able, can you send me your email in a DM? I’ll share the background to the project and methods 🙏🙏🙏

Learning from the past to inform future seabird conservation (PASTBIRD) - Local Ecological Knowledge, stable isotopes, seabird islands.

If you're wanting to do a PhD project with us, please apply by 1 April.

Do you live in the UK or Canada? Could you spare an hour to help me with an important science project focused on excessive packaging? (all you need is a ruler and a basic kitchen scale) 🤞🙏♻️

Really proud to see the new @royalsocietypublishing.org special issue now open: "Beyond Boundaries: Celebrating Global South and Indigenous Contributions to Molecular and Cellular Biology", led by Dr Jennifer Lavers @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social, Prof Sandhya Visweswariah, and Dr Temitope Fadipe.

This little nugget was snoring so loudly it caused an interruption to my online work meeting this afternoon 😴 🤣 #dachshund

Andrew had a hard day cutting wood and was looking forward to an evening relaxed in front of the TV. Farley had other ideas: hogging the couch and forcing Andrew into one corner 🤣 #dachshund

A very thought-provoking seminar from @thelabandfield.bsky.social this afternoon on the challenges - scientific, societal & personal of studying the increasing problem of macroplastic pollution and its ingestion by seabirds: thanks for coming over Alex!

Can you share the recording, once available

Plastic pellets are not harmless cargo. 🐣

Decades of research show they are persistent, widely dispersed, ingested by wildlife, and capable of carrying hazardous chemicals across oceans. 🌍🌊

In our new perspective, we call on the IMO to recognize the risks and strengthen global regulation. ⚓

We miss you! 🐦💙

Farley & Vienna, inseparable (absolutely love a car ride!) #dachshunds

Really tired of the #PlasticPollution denialism dressed up as “peer review”.

Please be constructive and kind, or be quiet.

Oh, and we’re using quotes in this new paper. Because apparently we’re not supposed to do this, either.

That’s it. We’re writing a paper about this endless bullshit that others choose to call “peer review”. These bogus denials of the issue are a type of obstruction similar to what we see in climate science: Deny, deflect, accuse

I too am tired. And angry.

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

I see you read my email then! What an absolute nightmare, year on year 😡‼️

Living with an invisible #disability: cracked ribs (again!). Why? Because I coughed 😮‍💨

Handsome boy 💕 #FarleyMowat #dachshund

Today we planted a Red Lantern (Banksia caleyi) inside one of our big stumps. Looking forward to this one reaching 3m (hopefully it brings in the cockatoos!) #revegetation #LandForWildlife

Adorable hot dog for some cheer…?

Are you in TASMANIA? This is for you ⬇️

In November, #AdriftLab gathered for one of our famous #WritingRetreats. This one was a little different, with 2 team members about to relocate after being promoted into exciting research positions in NZ & NY. So, while we wrote & shared ideas, we also prepared for the inevitable separation

Unsurprisingly, water restrictions are now being discussed 😮‍💨

We are in the north where the #drought is 10/10. It has barely rained in 2 months; no rain forecast for the next 30 days. Today is 32°C (extreme heat by #Tasmania standards)
#ClimateEmergency

Not to worry, the remaining 110 acres (most of which is Conservation Covenant) will stay exactly as it is, providing food and habitat for our amazing, struggling wildlife 💚
