A cute cartoon with a powerful message. We can see that nature is suffering due to climate change. We can no longer delay our action against climate change. 🐦🐋🌳🏝Thanks for sharing @ClimateReality#ScienceNotSilence#ClimateEmergency
It's the middle of winter in Australia and somehow we've managed to have above average & very much above average temperatures across the whole country. 🌏🌡🔥#ClimateEmergency
Australia posted its third-hottest July on record for max temps, WA's hottest. (4th hottest for mean). Year to date maximums also running at record high nationally. Rainfall half the July av, 1/3 in NSW. @BOM_au@weatherzone#ClimateEmergency
Happy Friday! Here's some vintage footage of an echidna puggle emerging from it's egg to celebrate. Thanks @ausgeo & @CSIROnews for sharing! #ScienceIsForEveryone
Fair warning that this article may be difficult to read. Researchers who work on climate change are struggling with the anxiety, depression & anger that climate change inaction is creating. #ClimateEmergency 🌏🌡🔥 motherjones.com/environment/…
With an astrophysicist as the next Aussie Bachelor, we thought we should share this explanation of the difference between astronomy (science) and astrology (horoscopes). Thanks @CSIROnews for the great animation! 🔭📡🔭📡#ScienceIsForEveryone
What are some practical things we can do right now to improve Earth's outlook?

Happy Friday! Here are some photos of baby octopus hitching a ride on top of a jellyfish. Too cute for words! #ScienceIsForEveryone 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 Thanks for sharing @RebeccaRHelm !
Any cancer researchers in Brisbane interested in getting involved with the Brisbane Science Festival should get in touch with @the_funkydr! Pass it on!
Brisbane #Cancer#Researchers: Anyone keen to talk to the public at the Brisbane Science Festival between 16-18th August? It's the first public appearance of the Cancer Puzzle/#EscapeRoom and I'm hoping we can use it to spark conversations about cancer/research. Reply/DM if keen!
Women and solar power for the win! Women in Malawi have been trained to install solar panels to provide their villages with power. Powering rural areas in a sustainable way, what could be better? Thanks @AssaadRazzouk for sharing! #ScienceIsForEveryone
After 130 years of coal power, 1.2 billion people are still without electricity: Structure of the dirty coal industry favors the rich and leaves the poor behind
Meet Malawi's "solar mamas", fighting back village by village to bring energy to rural Malawi and improve livelihoods
What a great email to receive! If a 5th grader in the USA gets it, then why can't the rest of the population? #BanPlastic#WarOnWaste Thanks for sharing @mattwilkinsbio!
Just got the most amazing email! We need to give kids more agency to influence the world they will inherit. The "wisdom" of adults & the powerful influences of greed, convenience & inertia have led us to a crisis in #plasticpollution! We should all demand producer responsibility!
Sir David Attenborough with a simple message, don't waste! It requires a mind shift from the population. We have to stop being a throw-away society. Only then do we have a chance to stop the destruction that we have caused. 🌏 @davidattenburro#ClimateEmergency#BanPlastic

Low methane cows are being bred to reduce our carbon emissions. Changing the microbiome in the cow's rumen can significantly reduce methane production. Thanks for sharing the amoosing image of the 'burp collecting devices' on the cows @NatGeo#ScienceIsForEveryone
Armed with the knowledge that methane-producing microbes in cows are inherited, scientists think they’re one step closer to a more environmentally friendly cow on.natgeo.com/2xuL0RS
Pretty shocking to hear that Adani demanded names of scientists involved in groundwater review. They hired lawyers to investigate scientists & see if they might be 'biased'. Apparently searching social media for anti-coal & anti-mining sentiments. #SoundsLikeIntimidation
