🔎Today, as part of European Researchers’ Night 2026, we held a #workshop “Wildlife Detective: Discover the Invisible Wildlife Around Us” for primary school #students. They explored eDNA, biodiversity and invasive species through a short lecture and a #game “eDNA bingo”🐗🌳

🌊 3 years. 10 case studies. 1 incredible journey. 🇪🇺✨
PRO‑COAST wrapped up at the European Parliament in Brussels! 🏛️🎉
Hosted by MEP André Franqueira Rodrigues, and
MEP César Luena reminded us:
"We must develop policies WITH coastal communities, not just FOR them." 💬

People living with HIV face unusually high rates of PTSD and depression. The ongoing health issues and stigma they face could make these conditions harder to treat. Psychedelic research often targets treatment resistant PTSD and depression, but only one study looked at people living w HIV.

🔥 Commercial kitchens are cooking the workers too
68% of US kitchens with gas stoves topped 90°F, some over 100°F. Nearly 70% exposed staff to pollution and heat beyond safety guidelines, even with ventilation running.
🌊 Frigole Beach, Italy – New PRO‑Coast short film 🇮🇹
The Italian case study applies the Social‑Ecological Systems Framework to understand the interactions between local communities, conservation, and sustainable coastal management.

🌊 New PRO‑Coast film on Slovenia's coastal treasure
This video captures the remarkable biodiversity in Strunjan – The Slovenian case study has pioneered citizen science through the SRNA wildlife monitoring app, camera trapping (150,000+ images, 16 species)

🧪⚒️ Interesting: modelling of length of day changes suggests that primary coupling between core and mantle is mainly a gravitational torque (dense bits of core and mantle attracting each other) rather than mechanical drag at core-mantle boundary or interaction with geomagnetic field.
Hurricane watch for Hawai'i and Nor'Easter headed for the East Coast in today's update for the All Hazards Consortium. So sorry for all those recovering from previous storms. Please stay aware, prepare as best you can, and stay safe. Our thoughts are with you. 🧪🌀
What is the #Nuvaxovid COVID vaccine and how is it different?
@paulseaman.bsky.social and I have put together a comprehensive document summarizing the available information regarding the main differences between Nuvaxovid and the more common mRNA based #COVID vaccines. 🧪🧵1/

A study in Nature Communications shows that meltwaters from below Svalbard glaciers transport ancient, geologic methane. Methane mobilization is greatest where thawed glacier beds overlie organic-rich shale, suggesting that increased melt may initially enhance emissions. go.nature.com/4iZpPPK ⚒️🌎🧪
🧪 “Although we’ve experimented with using AI to accelerate lab work with initiatives like the Model Hardware Standard, this approach is less conducive to the sort of ad hoc workflows that are involved in our molecular biology research.”
📷🦡Wildlife monitoring – part 4: Žabnik-Obrov
With the Žabnik-Obrov Hunting Society, we completed four years of #monitoring with camera traps and SRNA #app. Above-average ungulate densities and #diverse carnivores were recorded.🐺🐻🐱

🌡️ Post-Paris emissions worsened Europe's heat
Emissions since 2015 made Europe's summer extremes fiercer, and the June 2025 heatwave would likely have been 0.34°C cooler on 2015 levels. Worse for anyone who works outdoors.
