straight up Gestapo shit
Same for me!! 3 compared to 1 🥲
At least is a positive review. With only one sentence I was expecting far worse!
An innovative event in Lagos Nigeria used storytelling as its central framework, placing film, medical insight and cultural reflection side by side to explore how silence and stigma continue to influence women’s health outcomes in Nigeria.
I had the same thought!
Yay for the new discovery but also… is it supposed to be that “early”?
VERY daft question, considering their conservation status. Is it possible that the sexual maturity age is changing?
A pair of sea otters are pictured. Text on the image reads, "The Trump administration plans to auction off 1.27 billion acres of ocean habitat for offshore oil and gas drilling. That's bad news for beloved species like sea otters..."
A polar bear is pictured. Text on image reads, "Polar bears..."
A pair of beluga whales are pictured. Text on image reads, "Whales..."
A sea turtle hatchling is pictured. Text on the image reads, "And other marine wildlife--as well as people, coastal economies, and our global climate."
TAKE ACTION: Current attempts to expand offshore oil and gas drilling in American waters put our country’s cherished wildlife, oceans, beaches, and people in peril.

I agree it's probably not the right term to use (+ they don't actually define it).
Only 46%?! That's actually surprising! What were the rest?
They might be marketing geniuses, because they really made me want to know where these plots came from and what the actual results are!
What's the difference between people (n=10?) using coconut oil and olive oil? Now I really need to know! And that 3D plot will not tell me.
Nothing to add.
I love how they tried to make them look “fancy” with that 3D view. Really shows the effort on the important things.

I talk with my Research Methods students about publishing during the semester... and I was had a difficult time explaining why I personally avoid Frontiers similar to MDPI.
I will have less difficulty this coming year.

🐼 Pandas, 🦁 lions, 🐢turtles … get the spotlight while less cute species quietly vanish.
charisma driven conservation is not just flawed, it can be harmful.
If we want real biodiversity, we must look beyond the photogenic.

Lately I cannot stop thinking about this. Within my lifetime (and I’m not that old) the difference is shocking. Insects are just GONE! 🦟🪰🐝🦋🪳

🧠🐒 When chimps vocalise, human brains spark in a unique pattern that we do not show for other primates. Not bonobos, not macaques, just chimps.
✨It is like evolution left a little secret button in our heads and chimps know exactly how to press it✨
