Climate change is far reaching and we must curb emissions.
Many years ago Nico and I found an oil painting in a small Alpine Broki. We soon found out it is of a famous 'study' spot in Blatten. Today it is no more.
We must do more to protect species, culture, and landscapes.

Finally after really fine tuning the prompts, I got some amazing images but it was so hard to get images with women in leadership who did not look like models...
But I am SO pleased with these ones!!

Eventually I realised the word I needed was "plus size" and I should just draw cartoons to avoid make up and models... but even then things got a bit weird

I tried so many different prompts even trying to get some body diversity by mentioning the Dove body positive campaign but that was a disaster as everyone ended up hals dressed...

I had quite a lot of trouble at first getting it to generate pictures of women without make up, with professional clothing, in leadership roles etc

As the world is very dark, I wanted to lighten it by sharing some amazing ( 😜 ) AI pictures of scientists I got while making some outreach images in co-pilot....

Protected Areas are important for global conservation. However, their impact on genetic diversity has long remained unclear.
Check out our new paper lead by @chloology.bsky.social which answers this question for mammals and fish. 🧪

After repurposing genetic and genomic data, we found several shortcomings with current archiving practices. In this paper we discuss file format standards, key metadata, and more, that could improve genetic data reuse-ability

ACORN's oaks are continuing to thrive this summer! Probably 10cm of growth in just 3 weeks!! This tree is only part way through its third growing season...
Hopefully this common garden will reveal lota of key information about drought adaptation and help with assisted migration of oaks!
