@pf_fire Prof. Michael Fletcher challenging science as a fully objective pursuit. Instead it is Strongly influenced by myth and societal perspectives. Especially the interpretation of wild landscapes and fire management in Australia. Aborigines care for country. @InquaRoma2023

Fires and floods - love splitting new cores. This one from an urban billabong in Melbourne will shed further light on the remarkable long-term economy of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations @pollenpal @SciMelb

In this essay, @lucyjones discovers the magic of slime molds. Lying at the edge of our understanding, they invite us into their mystery and remind us of the vast possibilities of life on Earth. Read “Creatures That Don’t Conform.” emergencemagazine.org/essay/… Photos by Barry Webb.
