Czy policzyliśmy wszystkie zwierzęta na naszej planecie? Ile globalnie potrzeba pieniędzy, żeby ochronić ptaki przed wyginięciem? Skąd ponownie wzięły się dziki w Wielkiej Brytanii? Na te i inne pytania odpowiadam w podcaście Nauka XXI wieku. https://www.podkasty.info/katalog/podkast/410-Nauka_XXI_wieku/_172_Ptakoliczenie
It's the first phone I bought in 7 years, and only my second ever new (as in, not a hand-me-down) one. Three things about it make me happy:
1) it's a #Fairphone: fixable, sustainable technology,
2) it's de-googled, so no third-party snooping, and
3) "murena" means moray eel in Polish.
One downside: the income tax on it (thank you, #Brexit).
Yes, #platypues are just as evolved as all the other mammals, thank you very much!

A very good, though sobering, set of explanations about the current issue of student non-attendance in #HE.

Just learned that Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside in 2014 and saw that tons of wild mice used it just for fun as well as frogs and slugs? All the creatures of the forest wanted a turn?? Absolutely phenomenal

I worked on an article with colleagues for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Climate Science but you'll never see it because it's behind a paywall. We should have just edited #Wikipedia instead. Let's normalize putting Wikipedia edits on CVs.

1,600 bats fell to the ground during Houston's cold snap. Here's how they were saved - After hundreds of Mexican free-tailed bats went into hypothermic shock during the city's recent cold snap, they lost their grip and fell. But they found a temporary home: the attic of Mary Warwick. #npr
