1/ A very busy time
But in this late moment of calm before the weekend, I'm finding myself truly humbled that our #LMHRpaper is finalized and has crossing so many interested eyes.
I hope many will agree with us this phenomenon is well worth researching.

2/ Via @nicknorwitz: "... this paper has stimulated vigorous discussion, risen to the top of its journal for all time reads, and is among the top 15 trending papers across all American Society of Nutrition associated journals for the year 2021." nutrition.org/15-trending-nu…
3/ There's quite a bit more work in the pipeline from the many great collaborators I have the honor to be working with. We're passionately working on a #LipidEnergyModel paper, the #LMHRstudy (currently underway), and a couple other projects I can't announce just yet...
1 #ISTC20 Low reproductive success threatens long-term viability of many #shorebird populations. Hooded Plovers (aka hoodies) are highly threatened #BeachNestingBirds along AUS southern coast and impacted by threats like human disturbance and introduced & superabundant predators. 
2 #ISTC20 Threats’ impact on egg & chick survival is poorly understood. We set up remote-sensing cameras on 81 Hoodie clutches along the Victorian coast to confirm nest fate, and radio-tagged 27 Hoodie chicks (from 27 broods) to monitor survival and determine causes of mortality.
3 #ISTC20 Threats' impact on egg and chick survival is poorly understood. We set up remote-sensing cameras on 81 Hoodie clutches to confirm nest fate, and radio-tagged 27 Hoodie chicks (+22 untagged siblings were monitored) to monitor survival and determine causes of mortality.
1 #ISTC20 Monitoring from 1980 onwards revealed a decline in Hooded Plover population along Victorian coast (southern Australia). From 2006, @birdlifeoz runs a broad-scale adaptive management project to improve this declining trajectory by managing threats to breeding birds.
2 #ISTC20 We identified human disturbance and invasive predators as major threats. Our objectives are to ⬆️breeding success to ⬆️population & protect habitat. >500 trained #CitizenScientists monitor breeding Hooded Plover pairs across ~300 sites in Victoria and South Australia.
3 #ISTC20 Taking the Bellarine Pen & Surf Coast as an example, within 12 years of recovery effort, the population has increased from 9 to 22 breeding pairs. Working with land managers & volunteers, we’re protecting 22 breeding sites via on-ground actions, education & regulations.
What’s that you say? I haven’t tweeted in a few days about this AMAZING JOB w @AutisticaUK & @turinginst that I’d love for you to apply for or share with anyone you know?

The values are attached as a pdf to the job description linked above. Here’s the direct link: turing.ac.uk/sites/default/…
Before I dig into them I want to give a quick shout out to Georgia Aitkenhead who wrote the first draft based on our long conversations. THANK YOU Georgia!

The values are only loosely ordered. Don’t read too much into which ones come first etc. They’re ALL important.
When you apply for the job PLEASE address the values in your cover letter. It’s an essential requirement that you have a commitment to these values.

Moving on from #Asteroids #Exoplanets #SolarEclipse #StarSpectrum we now focus on #Satellites
Sputnik 1 was the first satellite to be launched (1957). Over 1200 active satellites are currently orbiting Earth.

Satellites come in different sizes: from the size of a lunch box to that of a small school bus.
And they are used for different purposes: Climate Monitoring, Agriculture, Telecommunications, Research....

Can #CitizenScientists access data from these satellites?
Yes! NASA makes available near LIVE data from many of its satellites in an interactive interface.
Allows browsing full-resolution, global satellite imagery!
