- Today, 166 years ago Alexander von Humboldt died (he was 89 years). He changed the way we think about nature (describing it as a web of life) & predicted climate change. Can't believe it's been 10 years since I published 'Invention of Nature'. It's change my life. In so many ways.
- Terrific book that lives on my “inspiration shelf” near my computer.
- That’s wonderful. Thank you

- Thanks for writing this book. It changed my life too--it inspired me to develop research projects with fantastic colleagues in Ecuador, and now it's fun to be on sabbatical here in Germany as a Humboldt fellow (named after AvH!). I even have a print of the naturgemälde on my office wall :).
- Ah .. thank you … that’s amazing and really wonderful to hear.
- Here is my first little outing of the man I’ve spent the last 4 years with … www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti...
- Reading many books at once, I hardly finish any. But this one was a joy; I wished it'd been longer. "Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self" by @andreawulf.bsky.social is the story of a literary 'set' and a place. But most of all it is a homage to Caroline Schelling.
- Thanks so much! Glad you also liked Caroline so much
- 1 weekend, 5 plays, Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg … Anthropolis-Marathon ... best theatre l've seen in a long time. Very topical those ancient Greeks.
- Last photos … goodbye Polynesia. Loved following George Forster’s footsteps #research
- A day off, snorkelling and a visit of a baby reef shark … definitely not research #GeorgeForster #FrenchPolynesia
- Hello beautiful Raiatea & Taha’a … and then I twisted my ankle.

- Thank you.
- Raiatea is the sacred homeland of Polynesians and Taputapuatea marae is where it all began. Hobbled through it with my twisted ankle but so glad I finally saw it #research

- Tauahi’ura - Huahine's mountains that look like silhouette of a pregnant woman on her back in profile (head, nose, chine, breasts, belly). George Forster saw exactly the same view 250 years ago #research #GeorgeForster #Huahine

- You’re absolutely right. It’s very strange how little they make of it.
- Our ride out of Dusky Sound … rain, clouds & lots of mountains. Not my favourite combination 😂

- Thank you very much!
- Two images ... 250 years apart... this is the tree the Resolution used as their gangway in Pickersgill Harbour in Dusky Sound NZ in March & April 1773. Time portal to George Forster #research
- Hunkering down before the thunderstorm ... magical & eerie ... in Wet Jacket Arm, an inlet in Dusky Sound that was named by the Resolution crew after Forster and a few men got stuck here in a storm. So it feels very appropriate #research #GeorgeForster
- Dusky Sound … where George Forster first encountered the Māori and New Zealand #research
- Hiked at Lake Tekapo today … #NewZealand #research
- Just hiked 92km in 4 days. This is the best place to forget about Trump & German election for a little moment. #NewZealand #research #GeorgeForster
- That was worth the 27km hike. Queen Charlotte Sound where George Forster came 3 times in 1773 & 1774 with Cook‘s Resolution.

- „Research“ ….
- Patterns #NewZealand
- Queen Charlotte Sound NZ … it started with a downpour … and then it was glorious… following George Forster‘s footsteps who came here in 1773 #research
- Bloody marvellous … one of the best novels I’ve read in a while.

- Thank you sooo much. Really appreciated
- Lake Taupo NZ (almost research)
- View from my office @sfiscience.bsky.social … perfect for writing. It’s heaven here.

- Explorer & revolutionary George Forster.
- Delighted to have played a tiny part in Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibition on Casper David Friedrich (for the audio guide) www.metmuseum.org/press-releas...
- Would love some recommendations for books on explorers & scientists for 4 & 7 year olds. Asking for my family.

- That’s so wonderful! You must have been an inspiring teacher.
- Something incredibly satisfying about sawing old branches from the garden for next winter. Wood that warms you twice - today and then in the fireplace.

- Hallelujah!
- Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...
