Hello beautiful #Brussels! Very excited for another #Ukraine workshop tomorrow with Sachin Shah (Univ. of Texas), Olga Trofimtseva (Ukraine Facility Platform), and others to discuss policy avenues to transform Ukraine's #agriculture to become more sustainable and align with #EU #CAP regulations.
As #Texas and #Oklahoma head into a weekend of extremely low #temperatures, I remember the #freeze there 5 yrs ago, with budding nature encased in ice that occurred alongside major power outages, frozen pipes, raided store shelves, and many deaths. Stay safe everyone. #txwx #okwx
The authoritarian, violent, and anti-science actions of the Trump admin over the past week show clear contempt for democracy and the public good, endangering people in the US and around the world.
Congress must uphold its constitutional responsibility and hold the administration accountable.
The 5 warmest years for Europe have occurred since 2020. It's as if something has changed. 🤔
The 9 warmest years for the Contiguous U.S. have occurred since 2012. 🔥🔥🔥

Wissenschaftsbarometer 2025. „Die Mehrheit sieht wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse als wichtige Grundlage für Diskussionen und mehr als die Hälfte der Menschen ist bereit, mit Andersdenkenden zu sprechen. Diese Offenheit ist eine wertvolle Ressource, die es von der Wissenschaftskommunikation zu heben gilt.”, sagt Liliann Fischer, Leiterin des Programms Insights bei Wissenschaft im Dialog.

Am 4. November stellen wir die aktuellen Ergebnisse des Wissenschaftsbarometers vor. Schwerpunkt 2025: Wahrnehmung von Polarisierung. Mit Benedikt Fecher, Liliann Fischer, Olaf Kramer @unituebingen.bsky.social , Bastian Kremer und Felix Streiter @carlzeissstiftung.bsky.social.

I’ve been thinking that too. Not to mention, research on feasible solutions takes time, which we will have less and less of. I’m worried the solutions we come up with will fail to often, wasting precious time and resources and eroding trust in science. Slippery slope 🫤
Other ways to support our work:
1) tell educators in your life that they can get a match with a scientist at skypeascientist.com!
2) buy an advent calendar for yourself or ship one to a friend!3) tell people about our merch shop! Squidfacts.net

Koonin spending an entire WSJ column criticizing @nationalacademies.org’s report for not being a review of his DOE climate contrarian report when (1) to my knowledge, the Academies have never reviewed a gov’t report without being asked (though such an independent review, or comparable, is necessary…

Was für ein toller erster Tag bei der Wissenwerte 2025 #WW25. Bekannte Gesichter gesehen, zum ersten Mal etwas über #Ozeankalkung gelernt, und von Patrick Cramer (Präsident der @maxplanck.de) eine wichtige Botschaft zur Gefahr der (zurück gehenden) Wissenschaftsfreiheit für die Demokratie gehört.
It is cool that Mosel ist much more than Riesling. However, moving the focus away from Riesling to other grape varieties is crucial. Climate Change increases average temperatures, leading to declining Riesling quality in the mid and long run.
And of course, many thanks also to our panelists for making the trip to ZALF 🙏 For some it was a walk down the street 🚶♀️ for others it was a 2-hour journey 🚗
Months of meetings, phone calls, and emails went into preparing this event. Huge thanks to my fellow postdoc rep, Dr. Marlene Palka, our Ph.D. rep colleagues Clara Rohde, Tara Meghana Kaila and Daniel Edem Halolo, and our early-career research coordinators Dr. Sandra Kerbler and Lena Domke.
I'm glad so many of our peers followed our invitation and attended the panel discussion, participated in the breakout sessions with our panelists, and connected over tea and coffee. It was so rewarding to hear all the positive feedback we got.
Our goal was to shed light on #non-academic #careers to our #Ph.D. #students and #postdocs, which is so important. Many of us only see academia as the path forward, without understanding the slim chances of becoming a professor and w/o gaining the skills necessary to succeeding elsewhere.
Our panel experts worked in the private sector (saschareth.bsky.social), in academic publishing (atinsharma.bsky.social), in public service (Lena-Katharina Schmidt-Rudolph), and in the non-profit sector (Martin Müller-Butz).
This week, my colleague Clara Rohde and I interviewed a wonderful panel of experts at @zalf.bsky.social, all of whom have Ph.D.s but none of them work in #academia, about their work and the skills they need to succeed.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
