This is a must read! I Spoke w/ Prof Buchmann about seals & parasites & learned that his work includes a fascinating situation where a man very likely contracted a seal-borne parasite in his nose after swimming around seals (and their feces). Didn't know this was possible!
Thinking about going for swim in the ocean or sea this summer? Read “Parasitic Nose Worms: Seal to Human Transfer of Parasites” first & learn more about seals & parasites in the waters of the Baltics and the research of KU Prof Kurt Buchmann survivingsealingstigma.com/2025/06/26/par… @UCPH_Research

European unity in Greenland. President Macron warmly welcomed in Greenland by the Greenlandic PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen. The 3 leaders had important discussions on Arctic security, economic development and climate change – key topics for the region.
Seals, Stigma and Survival introduces the philosophy of non-violence addressing the questions: (1) What is non-violence philosophy?; (2) Why does non-violence matter in anti-sealing activism?; and (3) Who claims to adhere to non-violence? survivingsealingstigma.com/2025/06/16/int…

This book sheds light on the human costs of activists and the repercussions for vulnerable people when activism normalizes forms of violence as acceptable to achieve their desired outcomes. #OpenAcessChapters available: spr.ly/60122z9ea
