ALT Screen shot of the first page of the PDF of the research article, Do seabirds dream of artificial lights? Understanding light preferences of Procellariiformes, authored by Elizabeth Atchoi & co. The screen shot also shows part of the abstract, starting with the sentence, 'Seabirds, and particularly fledglings of burrow-nesting species, are greatly impacted by light pollution' and the introduction.
Many many pages later there’s my #PhD thesis done 👍👸🤓 now to wait for @uacores to B set my defense. My brain n body collapsed but I’ll be back soon 🏴☠️. To continue the seabird x ALAN detective 🕵️♀️ series. Most lucky 2 have the best coordinator in this here world 🦤@Airam_Rguez
And a big hug to all my friends who submitted now and are dying as well <3 @okeanos research center

Jesus christ. I think I need to turn to alcohol or drugs or therapy or SOMETHING. I had seen the AMOC overturning warnings, but I had not seen this graph. I though somehow mostly the North Atlantic and Europe would be affected, but no, it's global boiling.

Your research is still valuable even if you don't publish in the "top" academic journals.
And I couldn’t leave #NZ without taking a pit stop at @HobbitonTours. As a #woodelf myself I had to go pay visit to some #hobbit friends and have an ale at #thegreendragon #LOTR
#starlightconference @darkskiesnz was a blast, and what a scenery to enjoy. #lightpollution #keepthelightsdownlow #ALAN #matariki thank you #NewZealand

Portugal has recently created Europe’s largest Marine Protected Areas network, helping protect the unique underwater ecosystems of the Azores. 🇵🇹
