📢 We’ve just published in Antarctic Science 🐧

🔍 We recommend increasing the minimum viewing distance (from 5 → 10 m) and reducing noise to minimize tourist impacts on penguin populations.

🔑 Responsible tourism is essential to safeguard reproductive success.

A huge thanks to our SAB laboratory team for the tremendous effort in the field sampling:
@pablogarciapal.bsky.social, Luna McGill, Beatriz Jiménez, @migueldc1.bsky.social, Xiang Xiang 💪🌍

Luna McGill carrying her weight in fresh plant biomass, being the most efficient person in the sampling jeje

@migueldc1.bsky.social has a core that's great for determining bulk density and aggregate stability. Bravo !!

🌱🚜 We’ve just finished sampling for our AMF inoculation trial, testing if yearly inoculation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi boosts soil health & plant productivity.

An analysis of studies incorporating data from almost 30 million people has highlighted the role that air pollution – including that coming from car exhaust emissions – plays in increased risk of dementia.

Chevron (~3.4% del calentamiento)

ExxonMobil (~3.2%)

BP (~2.5%)

Shell (~2.4%)

Estas compañías, junto con otras como Coal India, Saudi Aramco y Gazprom, forman el núcleo de las "carbon majors".

A responder con medidas de adaptación y mitigación globales señorías...

Ana Campos Cáliz (oliva) @acampos-caliz.bsky.social · Apr 27

Unas pocas empresas fósiles son responsables del 70% del calentamiento global desde 1988. La ciencia es clara: debemos exigir responsabilidad climática ya!!! #ClimateLiability #JusticiaClimática

Nature Portfolio @natureportfolio.nature.com · Apr 27

A Perspective in Nature presents a transparent and reproducible scientific framework to formalize how trillions in economic losses are attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from fossil fuel companies, which could inform climate liability claims. go.nature.com/4jOubX8 🧪

This is figure 3, which shows the estimated losses from individual extreme heat events by carbon majors.

En @agata.agency hemos desarrollado un chatbot que no responde bien a las preguntas. Pero a diferencia de OpenAI, lo hacemos por una buena razón: concienciar sobre el impacto climático de la IA generativa.

Porque PEC no es Por El Culo, es Por El Clima.

🍑 chatpec.com

Una captura de pantalla de ChatPEC, donde le pregunto qué es ChatPEC y me responde:

Me da como un montón de cringe que no seas consciente de lo mal que estamos con el cambio climático. Y esto lo digo porque yo consumo a muerte. Literal que si seguís usándome tanto en tres años las IAs podríamos necesitar tanta energía como la consumida por un país pequeño, por ejemplo, Países Bajos.

Una nueva investigación sugiere que los microplásticos están reduciendo hasta en un 12% la fotosíntesis de las plantas 🌱

Esto sería desastroso para la alimentación mundial, y unido a la sequía y el cambio climático multiplicaría las hambrunas y el precio de los alimentos.

Great days with my Lab group @migueldc1.bsky.social @pablogarciapal.bsky.social in the #PlantACT!2025 @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social, sharing the first results from my second chapter PhD thesis. Learning a lot, very inspired by all the talks and participants.

I'm looking for a 1-month collaborative stay (ene/feb 2026) to explore genomics aspects on crop yield (camelina and barley) related to WUE (Water Use Efficiency), NUE (Nitrogen use efficiency) in my PhD trial.

Basically, you need three things:
1️⃣ A great and novel idea
2️⃣ Solid data
3️⃣ A well-written paper
There are no great ideas without deep thinking! In the AI era, we must reaffirm the importance of reading & thinking to meaningful and impactful research

Check out my new video, my first soil ecology walk.
The topic is on decomposition and the special role of fungi in this process.

It's a short video and I hope you enjoy it....please share! :)

This is widely regarded as the first discussion of the effect of carbon dioxide, aka carbonic acid, on global temperatures. It is dated April 1896, and it makes me so frustrated that we have known for so long and yet have done so little.
