Does evidence exist if you cannot read it? Maybe time for all paywall papers to not be evidence, for many of us they are rumour. I'm no longer retweeting papers which are not open, but I guess a good abstract might get a share.

We just invaded the Houses of Parliament, singing loud and clear: #StopRosebank ! No new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea! The Rosebank oil and gas licenses will cause an extra 200m tons of CO2 emissions, while doing nothing to lower our energy bills #GreenEnergyisCheapEnergy

A very interesting paper that highlights how little we know about the importance of bogs and mires for breeding waders🐣. A thread about the Eurasian Curlew and the potential food abundance across its breeding habitats 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Fijn, lachgraag publiek op de Weidevogelkennisdag, en leuke gesprekken achteraf! Dank aan de organisatie om het verhaal van de Grutto buiten Nederland ruimte te geven. Ik sprak vandaag namens Global Flyway Network over mijn Doñana-onderzoek en over de Taag en het werk van Eco Flyway.

Excited that our paper on Black-tailed Godwit arrivals has been nominated for 'Best Early Career Researcher paper 2023' BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈 😊

While Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) #CMSCOP14 alarming nrs are presented for #migratory sp, our research to stop Montijo airport in the Tagus estuary made it to the evening news. Funny it reads 'Bt-godwit threaten airport plans'; how disconnected are we?

Fantastic mist-netting session in the Tagus estuary rice-fields. Targated bt-godwit flocks on stopover & deployed several #GPS tags to further study this sp locally & across the #flyway . Team work makes the dream work!
