School/retreat I organised with @intp-science.bsky.social. No publications, big name speakers, $$ benefit. Just people - PhD students, young professionals, academics, independent researchers, activists, artists, +2 teenagers and 1 toddler - exploring science, creativity, and the beautiful Pyrenees 💗

Magnifique soirée à l'INTP pour la sortie de résidence artistique de la Compagnie Popolo Balangan autour du spectacle Le Silence des Oiseaux !

Un mélange de musique, de découverte de l'ornithologie et d'initiation à la bioacoustique, à la croisée des arts clownesques et des sciences de la nature !

The program is constructed jointly by the lecturers, revisiting a broad spectrum of topics from niches to networks and stability, in order to emphasize the many explicit or implicit bridges and gaps between leading theoretical approaches.

Reflecting on temperatures over the last three months, all latitude bands observed temperatures warmer than average.

Plot shows zonal-mean temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data from GISTEMPv4 using their 1951-1980 baseline.

Bar graph showing zonal mean surface air temperature anomalies for the period of April-May-June 2025. All latitude bands observed above average temperature anomalies.

Dernière conférence de l’année : L’éthologie presque facile !

Et pas des moindres puisque nous recevrons Agatha Lievin-Bazin qui a travaillé avec nous au café pendant quelques années et qui nous parlera éthologie. On est donc très heureux de finir l’année avec Agatha et des zanimos 🦜

À Jeudi 😉

Every day is a trainwreck for climate science. Stay aware of what is happening, and speak out!

Fortunately, I saved all of these documents in advance of the rumors of the USGCRP being targeted (which I was really hoping were not true).

The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.

The target of the school is an interdisciplinary audience of researchers (including graduate, post-doctoral and early career) with strong prior experience in theoretical community ecology and modelling.
