Happy international day of #womeninscience! #Istudy biodiversity change @syke.fi @helsinki.fi @nathist.bsky.social @hkilabornithology.bsky.social @ipbes.net @jappliedecology.bsky.social Currently, I am working on how #climatechange affects #birds #butterflies #moths #minätutkin

Today we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🌿🔬 From fieldwork to data analysis, from mountains to oceans, women play a vital role in advancing biodiversity conservation and shaping a more sustainable future. #WomenInScience #Biodiversity #Conservation #SCBItaly

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! I’ll be doing science today, and I hope you will be, too. Don’t forget to encourage and support the littles - all children are born scientists.

Happy #womenInscience day! I research climate and habitat change impacts on biodiversity dynamics at landscape scales @helsinki.fi @nathist.bsky.social @hkilabornithology.bsky.social Super grateful for all amazing female researchers, be it mentors, colleagues or students! #minätutkin ⬇️

Happy #WomenInScience Day! I'm Ronja Saarinen, a PhD researcher in HelLO @nathist.bsky.social, studying how interannual climate variability affects the phenology, distribution, and morphology of species to better understand the mechanisms behind long‑term #climatechange effects. #WeAreHelsinkiUni

Happy International Day for #WomenInScience! I’m Lisa Kreye, a HelLO master’s student studying whether species traits can explain variability in birds’ responses to environmental change. Grateful for the mentorship of amazing women scientists like @jellybb.bsky.social and @laurabosco.bsky.social 🐦
