25th year of fieldwork at Glen Finglas
Beautiful Flanders Moss
Had the opportunity to test the new FIT Count quick guide I helped write for @pomscheme.bsky.social with some brilliant volunteers from @tcvnational.bsky.social and West Dumbartonshire Council. Perfect weather for counting pollinators!
Gotta love the Toon
New projections of British biodiversity under plausible climate & land-use futures
Severe futures have 12-20% birds, butterflies, plants going extinct & major changes to ecosystems
More sustainable scenarios only decrease & do not stop loss; but require urgent action

My second publication from my PhD looking at using a molecular diagnostic method (which I developed for my first paper found here: doi.org/10.1111/afe....) to look for the main parasitoid of the oak processionary, an invasive pest of oak trees, to help inform conservation biocontrol strategies!
I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.
“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.
Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.
Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”
