Marine conservation is for everyone! 👋 Restoration Forth recently welcomed members of the Deaf community to survey oysters in the Firth of Forth, supported by a British Sign Language interpreter - a first for many! Language and nature are deeply interconnected. We must protect both. 💙

Happy Sign Language Week!🌟

New British Sign Language signs for marine species are here, making conversations about nature and climate more accessible to everyone! 👋 The @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Scottish Sensory Centre tested them out while cleaning oysters with #RestorationForth 🦪 #SignLanguageWeek #SLW2026

I learned about a brilliant project yesterday to support British Sign Language (BSL) users, creating new signs for scientific terms in chemistry, oceanography, data science & more. And they're fabulously descriptive. Do have a look and share! www.ssc.education.ed.ac.uk/BSL/index.ht...

So glad this is out! Still wish we had the data processed in time for @jmhenner.bsky.social to use but pleased to have his contribution in more ways than 1. See below for a brief commentary re Jon, deaf linguists & participating in SiL research and doing it in a way that disrupts or crips it all

We recently added to JDSDE’s Special Issue: Critical Studies in Deaf Education & Linguistic Research. This is a personal, powerful editorial by Julie Hochgesang (@jahochcam.bsky.social): "Talking the talk-or signing the sign: Sharing our data as open access" @oxfordunipress.bsky.social (1/2)

What an amazing week! Thank you everyone who made it so special. This was a career highlight that will be tough to beat. #GRCCERP #MoonAgents

Day 13 of posting cool mushrooms every day: Witch's Butter (Tremella mesenterica) is a brainlike gelatinous mass of a mushroom. It's one of the few mushrooms that will grow any day of the year, usually on softwood decaying logs. It's edible, however it has little flavor.
