do you wear bands (other than aids) on your fingers? or rings? ๐
Yeah, and most germanic languages call it a variation of "ringing" - no idea why the US decided to go with "bands"!
*ringing ;)
Dore's illustration of Moses coming off the mountain with the Ten Commandments; it has been modified. It has been hand tinted. Moses' head has been replaced with Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse avatar's head. The Tiktok logo appears in the bottom left corner of the stone tablets.
Mark Zuckerberg has a problem with your friends: they're the reason you signed up to use his platform, but they stubbornly refuse to organize your socialization to "maximize engagement." Every time you and your friends wrap up a social interaction and log off, Zuckerberg loses revenue.

Abstract submission may be closed, but it is not too late to sign up to attend the NLSEB Annual meeting. Great plenary talks and a great line up of talks and posters. And thanks to our sponsors NWO and @isme-microbes.bsky.social for helping making this meeting possible.
Hey @britishecologicalsociety.org you're listed as still posting on the twitter. Every post you make, every click, you're supporting Elon musk, a man who makes nazi salutes in public. As a member I think you should stop now.
@ox.ac.uk any chance you might rethink your collaboration with OpenAI and the free access to the edu version to all staff and students now?
I won't hold my breath.
Donโt miss out. If you are in the Netherlands and consider yourself an evolutionary biologist then this is a must attend event!
Are you, or do you know, a masters/undergrad looking to take part in a cool research project in bird behaviour, in a lovely field site? Look no further! ๐

Calvin & Hobbes walking along a tree trunk laid across a river as a bridge.
40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.
I'm from PT, have worked in Oeiras and have ridden the monorail a bunch of times. This episode was phenomenal and your grasp of the "Rouba mas faz" ethos was on point. I know you've "been" to Portugal a few times on the podcast, but please please do an ep. on Fรกtima Felgueiras or Valentim Loureiro!!
One week left on this! Good opportunity for someone interested in #behaviour, #genomics and #migration to come work will some fun seabirds and some fun people ๐งฌ๐ฃ๐ฐ๏ธ
