New AI tool can track dolphins by their 'regional accents' The tool can be helped to identify dolphin species and to study the impact human activities, like fishing, have on the aquatic mammals.

After over 10 years, this Wednesday at 8pm GMT #LTHEchat will take place in Twitter X for the final time.

We look forward to bringing our weekly #LTHEchat here to Bluesky in the new year. Our incoming organising team for 2025 are already preparing for this!

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections.

For lovers of snow ❄️ I give you the greatest snow ball fight in history. In 1854 300 people including stock brokers went into snowy battle at Liverpool’s Exhange. The Liverpool Mercury reported “Hats flew away, By the force of the ball, From heads that were grey, Or with no hair at all”.

Lovely picture - my favourite loch
