Blown away by the incredibly varied & holistic ways of involving communities in kelp restoration from all over the world #ISS25
Wonderfully rich & hilarious session at the International Seaweed Symposium tapping onto the wisdom of the world’s #seaweed wizards - all of the them self declared accidental phycologists & including my first seaweed mentor Michael Guiry #ISS25
Huge congratulations to the team at La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Gamay Rangers for launching their #SeaCountry plan this week - great work and a truly momentous occasion

How vulnerable are #amphibians to extreme heat? 🐸🌡️
Our paper in @nature.com shows that many amphibians are already overheating, and many more species will be impacted by climate warming globally.
See the thread below for a digest 🧵

Finally got to have our belated Xmas party - feeling very grateful to work with such an awesome group of people! #marine #restoration #climatechange
Check out this wonderful article about how languages are shaped by their environment and carry vast traditional ecological knowledge, which is lost when they disappear. Language preservation can & should be part of #conservation
Great to learn about #QualNotes from Danielle Drozdzewski and Jose Berengueres, an app to collect qualitative data combining text, maps, images and video
Dearest friend Kike Ballesteros left us on Nov 27th. Internationally renowned ecologist, naturalist, conservationist & science communicator.
I will deeply miss his generosity, curiosity, wisdom, joy & enthusiasm for life & nature. I will be forever grateful for his guidance & inspiration.
Looking for a #PhD #student to kick start a new stage in our #OperationCrayweed #kelp #restoration work in #Sydney - please share widely! Deadline January 17th
