The High Seas Treaty has officially come into effect 🌊
High Seas sustain global-scale ecosystem functions and provide essential benefits.
As stated in the IPBES 🌍 #GlobalAssessment , improving shared governance is crucial to facing these challenges and protecting biodiversity. 🏡🧪
The official state reptile of Nevada has been classified as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act since 1990, with habitat loss due to human development, increased predation and disease all contributing to their declining numbers....

Join Deepa Senapathi for “Land management for beneficial insects & smallholder livelihoods” on 📅 8 July for #InsectHour.
This talk explores how insect-friendly land management can support biodiversity, food security and livelihoods, particularly for farmers in the Global South.
I have to believe there was some alcohol involved in this production: 🔊 #AGoodPlace

love magnets!
very very sad to hear that Tony Cox passed away. He was my postdoc boss for the four years I was at the Cambridge Centre for Atmospheric Science and was great to work with. Such a lovely and interesting person, and a giant of UK atmospheric chemistry history.

Screenshot from BBC news summarising a section of the latest UK Covid Inquiry report, detailing how initial assumptions that Covid spread by droplets were wrong and that by understanding it is airborne we could better ventilate schools and upgrade PPE for healthcare professionals
Shameful that a stubborn refusal to admit errors and update guidance led to so many unnecessary deaths. Utterly deplorable that this continues to be the case. Ventilation and air filtration in schools and healthcare settings should be mandatory, not just guidance.
warfare makes pollution :(
The daytime darkness and overhead smoke reminds me of the so called "high fog" (in fact pollution) that hung over UK cities through the late 19th and early 20th century. Indicative of really severe air pollution.
for various reasons I am not exercising at pool and sports centres at the moment. Restarted my seated workout routine which I did when I was waiting for my ankle replacement. V pleased Paul Eugene's seated workouts are still going as they are great!! #activelife

The burst of green light emanating from this orange crystal when it is gently placed into a bed of silica gel is a dramatic demonstration of how a material’s surroundings can change its properties. Read more: cen.acs.org/materials/Ch...

we are starting a interest group for #ammonia #sensors for outdoor ambient monitoring. This is assoicated with my work on the CEN Standards working group 42 Ambient air - Air quality sensors. If you are interested get in touch. Hopefully first online meeting in March or April. #airquality
This amazing bus is the Moon Palace - a wonderful project between art and Physics to create a space to inspire people how the universe works. If you’re in London over 20-21 Feb, drop into the courtyard outside Royal Astronomical Society and take a look eps.leeds.ac.uk/faculty-engi...
Black-and-white historical photograph of renowned Chinese-American physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu. She stands confidently in a white lab coat, facing the camera with a calm, poised expression and direct gaze. Her dark hair is elegantly styled. Behind her is a large, complex rack of mid-20th-century electronic equipment, including tangled cables, multiple control panels, dials, switches, and connectors. Prominently visible is a device labeled "CU1721" (a linear amplifier), with additional markings such as "GUIDANCE CONTROL," "FOR AC ANALYSIS," "TIME CONTROL," input/output ports, and other technical labels typical of nuclear physics instrumentation from that era. The setting captures the intensity and precision of experimental nuclear research in the post-WWII period.
Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997.
She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

In 2016, an intrepid group of scientists stepped onto the #Greenland Icesheet and setup a camp to collect the most comprehensive dataset ever made. They made simultaneous measurements of microbiology, glaciology, geochemistry, atmospheric parameters and remote sensing for 6 weeks.
