We've got some fantastic nature news to brighten your day 🎉

Wicken Fen has become the first UK nature reserve to record an incredible 10,000 species. A moth that imitates a wasp was the 10,000th species to be recorded. This work is possible thanks to a major grant from The Nature Recovery Project.
A close-up of a glow-worm with a black plated body and a bright green glowing tail clinging to a stem of grass in the dark The scaly brown and beige head of a lizard in side profile, its black eye seemingly staring at the camera A dark grey moth with bright beige splodges on its wings. It sits of a bright green leaf against a black background A small brown bird with a cream chest and darker brown tail feathers perches on a reed against a background of blurred brown and green reeds

#Rydercup - why am i watching someone warm up? I haven’t seen any shots from Lowry, Hatton or Macintyre - are they still playing @skysportspl.bsky.social

#Rydercup fails by @skysportspl.bsky.social 1. Endless shots of fans, players walking, landscape or so-mo of players staring - missing the golf. 2. SOOO many adverts - missing the golf. 3. Split screen of 2 simultaneously shots - why? Who can watch both? @bbc or @itv pls take back #rydercup

You ask where this is going … perhaps (1) Elon has realised that men should bear more responsibility for contraception and stop leaving this burden to women. Or (2) he will try to ban contraception to make women constantly pregnant! Who knows? Note: you don’t know me - my question is said with irony

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us.

Same happened to me. I reported it to the journal editor who is taking action, and our uni library services who are following up. we pay huge amounts for access to high quality journals - the journal publishers need to take action

Thank you SO much for this - I laughed and laughed and laughed and then searched through my booze cabinet to see if there was any sherry at the back - I’m now making the custard!

Thank you @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social for this poem in @theguardian.com. I work with amazing people from all over the world. Spain, Ireland, Philippines, India, Iraq, Syria, Poland and many other countries. Labour's language around immigration is so disappointing.

A UKRI Policy Fellowship is available with my employer, The Environment Agency. It is to look at applying social and behavioural science to increase natural hazard resilience in diverse communities.

Might be of interest to the #EGU25 science-policy community.

Dear Journals - it is very irritating that I have to set up an account to turn down review requests. They are not part of my job. I will end up just not replying to your editors. Thank you.

Meta used my latest book, along with several of my published articles, to train the AI it plans to profit from on a massive scale.

Authors, search for your name in LibGen "the pirated-books database that Meta used to train AI" here:
