@guyshrubsole.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialBrilliant to be on a panel with @rowhoop.bsky.social & Lucy Jones at New Scientist Live today - chatting about symbiosis, lichens, how being in nature is good for our health, how landowners release 50m pheasants into the countryside annually… and how to campaign against nature loss!
@profpaulbehrens.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialTomorrow at New Scientist Live: an emergency briefing on nature and climate with @kevinclimate.bsky.social, Nathalie Seddon (@naturebasedsols.bsky.social), and @rowhoop.bsky.social. I'll talk about how unprepared we are for food system risks.
Sunday 14:40, Future Stage, ExCeL

@rowhoop.bsky.socialThanks - so good to hear this!
@donalde.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialLoved @rowhoop.bsky.social Togetherness. Especially the impressively upbeat final few chapters detailing how better understanding of symbiosis in nature opens up new ways to tackle the environmental challenges the world currently faces..
@rowhoop.bsky.socialOh man it was delicious. Am planning a visit to San Polino when the Italian translation comes out
@rowhoop.bsky.socialOff to New Scientist Live! On the Future stage at 14:40 today I'll be talking about ecology and SAVING THE WEB OF LIFE with @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and Lucy Jones and signing copies of Togetherness afterwards. Come along!
@rowhoop.bsky.socialAhead of publication of the Italian translation of Togetherness, I spoke about symbiosis with Altreconomia magazine (Italiano!) altreconomia.it/rowan-hooper...
@rowhoop.bsky.socialsadly Hafrun is no longer of this world
@rowhoop.bsky.socialThe Mitochondrial Theory of Ageing with Jonathan the tortoise (194) and Hafrun the quahog (507!) and @pennysarchet.bsky.social
@rowhoop.bsky.socialInstantly makes me think of Self Esteem's "I cannot stress this enough / You'll never know how to love"
@rowhoop.bsky.socialIce Cube gets the Nobel
@keithalexander.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialIt’s monstrous that people would consider trying to kill 1000 beings that are hundreds of years old and take 150 years to even reach sexual maturity, purely because they interfere with fishing for halibut.

@rowhoop.bsky.socialI thought it was @catamaroon.bsky.social talking about rewriting the narrative - away from dystopian doom. But it’s Sarah Hall 🙏
@rowhoop.bsky.socialRosalind Franklin had already noted the helical structure of DNA in photograph 49!
@florentwaltz.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialHuge congratulations to all three Nobel Laureates, and especially Peter Hegemann! 👏 His seminal work on the green alga Chlamydomonas 🦠 laid the foundation for optogenetics. Thank you for putting Chlamy in the spotlight! ✨ Proof that groundbreaking discoveries don't always come from animal models! 🔬
@rowhoop.bsky.socialI had a great chat about symbiosis and Togetherness with Jonathan McCrea on his show Future Proof (on at 17mins) www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/sym...
@rowhoop.bsky.social(More feathered dinosaurs) And the classic Velociraptor (these from the Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs)
@rowhoop.bsky.socialSome of the previously discovered microraptorines
@stevebrusatte.bsky.socialReposted by @rowhoop.bsky.socialDid dinosaurs evolve flight more than once?
Maybe! Not only birds, but microraptors too…
I unpack it for @newscientist.com with @rowhoop.bsky.social & @pennysarchet.bsky.social #fossilfriday
@rowhoop.bsky.socialExceptional fossil shows birds weren’t the only dinosaurs to evolve flight. Me and @pennysarchet.bsky.social have a fantastic discussion with the brilliant @stevebrusatte.bsky.social
