Free #embroidery technique (traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, crewel, stumpwork, and more). 📸 What to submit? 3 high-resolution photos of your embroidery (1 full design and 2 detail shots) and a short narrative (max. 150 words) explaining how your piece reflects #WorldMigratoryBirdDay and the theme “#EveryBirdCounts – Your Observations Matter.” 📅 Submission deadline: 30 September 2026 🏆 Winners announced: November 2026 🔗 Learn more and submit your entry through the link: migratorybirdday.org/contest… #CommunityScience #WorldEnvironmentDay

🌊⚡ TIDAL ENERGY – Power from the Ocean! ⚡🌊 Did you know that the rise and fall of ocean tides can generate clean electricity? 🔬 Tidal Energy is a renewable, non-conventional energy source that harnesses the natural movement of seawater caused by the gravitational pull of the 🌙 Moon and ☀️ Sun. 🌊 How does Tidal Energy Work? 1️⃣ Tides rise and fall due to gravitational forces. 2️⃣ Moving water creates powerful tidal currents. 3️⃣ Underwater turbines spin as water flows past them. 4️⃣ Generators convert mechanical energy into electricity. 5️⃣ Clean energy is supplied to homes, schools, and industries. ⚡ Why is Tidal Energy Important? ✅ Renewable and sustainable ✅ Predictable and reliable ✅ Produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation ✅ Long operational lifespan ✅ Helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels ✅ Supports a cleaner future 🌎 Types of Tidal Energy Systems: 🔹 Tidal Barrages 🔹 Tidal Stream Turbines 🔹 Dynamic Tidal Power Systems 💡 Did You Know? 🌊 Tides are more predictable than wind and solar energy because they follow the gravitational cycles of the Moon and Sun. ⚡ A single large tidal turbine can provide electricity to hundreds of homes! 🌍 Countries like the UK, France, Canada, South Korea, and China are investing in tidal power projects. 🔬 Tidal Energy is an excellent example of how science and engineering can work with nature to create sustainable solutions for the future. 🌊⚡ Harness the Power of the Oceans for a Greener Tomorrow! ⚡🌊 #TidalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #GreenEnergy #OceanEnergy #BlueEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateAction #NetZero #EnergyTransition #Renewables #EnvironmentalScience #EarthScience #Engineering #MechanicalEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #STEM #ScienceEducation #ScienceFacts #Technology #Innovation #FutureEnergy #GreenTechnology #Sustainability #OceanScience #MarineScience #ScienceCommunication #CommunityScience #GUJCOST #ScienceCentre #SaveEarth #CleanFuture #RenewableResources #EnergyAwareness #DidYouKnow @UNEnvironment @UNESCO @UN @UNDP @IRENA @IEA @WorldBank @NASA @ESA @NOAA @NationalGeographic @ScienceMagazine @NaturePortfolio @DiscoverMag @NewScientist @WorldResources @moefcc @IndiaDST @VigyanPrasar @NITIAayog @MNREIndia @GUJCOST @CSIR_IND @TERInews 🌍 "The oceans don't just sustain life—they can help power our future." 🌊⚡

🦎🌟 REGENERATION – Nature's Amazing Superpower! 🌟🦎 Did you know that some living organisms can regrow lost body parts? 🔬 Regeneration is the biological process through which organisms replace or rebuild damaged or lost tissues, organs, or body parts. 🌿 Amazing Examples from Nature: ⭐ Starfish can regrow lost arms. 🦎 Many lizards can regrow their tails. 🪱 Planarians can regenerate an entire body from a small fragment. 🌱 Hydra can rebuild itself from tiny pieces of tissue. 🦎 Salamanders can regrow limbs, tails, and even parts of their heart and nervous system! 🧬 How does regeneration work? 1️⃣ Injury or loss occurs 2️⃣ Special cells divide rapidly 3️⃣ A blastema (regeneration tissue) forms 4️⃣ Cells differentiate into new tissues 5️⃣ The lost structure is restored 💡 Why is regeneration important? ✔️ Helps organisms survive injuries ✔️ Repairs damaged tissues ✔️ Inspires medical research and regenerative medicine ✔️ May help scientists develop future treatments for humans 🤔 Fun Fact: Humans have limited regeneration abilities! Our skin, liver, and bones can repair themselves, but we cannot regrow entire limbs. 🔍 Scientists around the world are studying regeneration to unlock new possibilities in medicine, tissue engineering, and stem cell research. 🌎 Nature continues to teach us how life adapts, heals, and survives! #Regeneration #Biology #LifeScience #CellBiology #StemCells #RegenerativeMedicine #Biotechnology #ScienceEducation #STEM #ScienceFacts #BiologyFacts #MedicalScience #Genetics #Evolution #Nature #Wildlife #ScienceCommunication #LearningScience #Education #ScienceForAll #CommunityScience #GUJCOST #ScienceCentre #FutureScience #Research #Innovation #STEMEducation #DidYouKnow #LifeProcesses #AmazingScience @NaturePortfolio @ScienceMagazine @CellPressNews @WHO @UNESCO @UN @NationalGeographic @DiscoverMag @NewScientist @TheRoyalSociety @NASA @NIH @HHMINEWS @IndiaDST @VigyanPrasar @moefcc @GUJCOST @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @NCBS_Bangalore 🧬 "Regeneration shows us the incredible power of life to heal, rebuild, and begin again." 🌱

🌳 We need YOUR help. The Goldspotted Oak Borer (GSOB) is an invasive pest quietly damaging oak trees across Southern California. It spreads quietly, and by the time trees show signs of damage, it’s often too late. The GSOB Blitz is a community effort where people like you help spot and report signs of the beetle while you’re out in nature. Your observations can help experts track the spread and protect healthy forests. If you hike, camp, or spend time outdoors in Southern California, you can be a part of the solution and help save California’s oaks. 👉 Get involved: bit.ly/GSOBlitz 📹️ Full video: youtu.be/UPCvyWzuBBg #CALFIRE #ForestHealth #CommunityScience #ProtectOurOaks #InvasiveSpecies

🎥🌏At this year’s DC Climate Week, AGU Thriving Earth Exchange premiered four short films highlighting community science projects creating local solutions. 🏝️One featured story follows KAʻEHU in Maui, where a new water monitoring program—developed with the Kansas State Center for Hazardous Substance Research @kstate—blends traditional knowledge with STEM education to restore wetlands for future generations. “KAʻEHU is rooted in the lands here. In the people. The waters. The plants. The common ground that connects us all is still a fundamental guiding light for us.” — Keolamau Tengan Thanks to support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation @moorefound, these films celebrate the people, stories, and science that make this work so powerful. ⬇️WATCH ⬇️ spklr.io/6010EzWTO #AGU #ThrivingEarthExchange #CommunityScience #Maui #WetlandRestoration #STEMEducation #IndigenousKnowledge
