We are super excited to announce 3 doctoral positions at the Bonn Centre for Dependency and Slavery Studies @dependencybonn.de. NB the deadline is soon: 5 June! www.uni-bonn.de/de/universit...

This study should make your Friday afternoon more enjoyable. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

It is sad to see that it is not obvious to hotel owners that the news coming out of the US is not exactly encouraging foreign visitors! www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you have never been at a German uni, you may not be familiar with how lectures end. At the end of every class, in faculty meetings, and after presentations, rather than clap, they knock on the table. It is a very old tradition and it is rather funny, but it is a sign of acknowledgement.

If you think I posted this because I am against NATO or I don't know who Putin is and the reason for the increased militarisation, wrong. I am AGAINST war, against the killing of people, including soldiers. I am FOR a world where the wellbeing of humans and ecosystems is the most important thing.

This is really grim. Imagine a different world. @tninstitute.bsky.social

Definitely interesting!

New paper "The paradox of climate justice" explores trade-off btw climate justice, effectiveness & political feasibility for mainstream & heterodox policies. Ambitious justice goals may inadvertently reduce support for effective policies - resulting in long-term injustice. dx.doi.org/10.1002/wcc....

Europa har minskat fossilberoendet snabbast av alla. Förnybart är plötsligt en konkurrensfördel. Vi är vinnare när Hormuzsundet har stängts. Så varför jublar inte Europa? För att fossillobbyn äger berättelsen. Lyssna inte på dem www.etc.se/ledare/att-h...

That this happened to a German is...haha. No one is better at the art of Vordrängeln (literally to push yourself in front of others) than Germans... www.bbc.com/news/article...

”Europa är den del av världen som snabbast minskat sitt beroende av fossilenergi. Vi är vinnare när Hormuzsundet stängs. Det finns en enkel anledning att detta utmålas som en kris – när det egentligen är en möjlighet.”

Can we please talk more about the justice dimensions of overshoot and how we are unlikely to have any control over how much we overshoot and probably will never be able to come down again? Technically we could probably do it but politically I have no hope, especially now. What do you think?

Some folks are (purportedly) continually surprised that pretty much anywhere that people live is warming faster than the global mean. It's not that tricky, since we mostly don't live in the ocean.

My 2 oldest cats have both recently passed & my energetic deaf young cat (3,5) is left & needs a pal (my skittish female lives in a separate part of the house/they do not get along). Please send all your best tips for introducing a new cat. I have found a possible new young friend at the shelter.

This is exactly what I fear sometimes when I see 'content' on social media about animals. It makes my blood boil. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is fascinating and the fact that this study may be wrong is no surprise to anyone who teaches any level of students....

A big study that was cited as evidence that text generators are good for students has been retracted: www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-wi... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

OK this is weird but certainly offers a distraction from other news. BTW the crocodile had bits of 6 different shoes inside him! www.bbc.com/news/article...

PhD opportunity- fully funded with stipend, fees and project costs covered. Explore the role of phosphite in treating kauri dieback disease. Applications due 8th May. Please spread the word! newzealandecology.org/phd-explorin...

Critical social scientists - our voices matter. Unfortunately there is a burden on us to develop thick skin to deal with comments about 'fluffy' science or questions about the point of our research. Don't hesitate to acknowledge that there may not be comfortable solutions (eg to climate change) 1/2

I just have to say that migraines really are so painful. It is really difficult to describe how painful they are. Exhausting too.

Are you aware of these 4 PhD opportunities at the @dependencybonn.de? www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/about-us/...

Just checked my tw!tter account for the first time in ages and was very dismayed to see how many people and organisations I really respect are still posting things there. After everything.

This. 🎯

Tonight I gave a public lecture in the City Hall in Bonn as you (should) do if you are a publicly funded prof. The women all showed up on time (really, just women at first). The men piled in late. Who do you think dominated the discussion and even questioned the point of my research? Not the women.

This is truly disgusting. Not to mention that the combined IQ of these two is probably far below 67…

I really hope this works.

I did not sign this but I 100% would if I could "We Reject the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence for Reflexive Qualitative Research" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I am not sure if I can even convey to my students what a different world it was to grow up as a child born in the 1970s. Maybe this nonchalant book about cooking for orgies could give them a hint of the wild times. lithub.com/hosting-an-o...

This is major www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

Swedish furniture takes over the world.

Knowledge plurality is the key. @lisaschipper.bsky.social at workshop on adaptation to climate change at IIT Delhi.

Very impressive presentations today on national scientific assessments on climate change adaptation in India. Extremely well conceptualised. Strong participation of social scientists and women. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

I am fully aware of the inequitable consequences of a world where mastering English is an academic necessity, but I still dislike when writing is 'edited' with AI tools for 'better' English language.

I just…I know we shouldn’t give up. But this is so infuriating.

How can climate justice inform policy design and global climate negotiations? 'Climate justice: The intersection of economics, the environment, and inequality'. Thank you @coreecon.bsky.social! @ipcc.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @ferroneandrew.bsky.social

Is Spain the only country in Europe with a spine? Bravo to them for standing up www.bbc.com/news/article...

SVT:s rapportering om klimatkrisen minskade från redan otroligt låga 2% av sändningstiden 2024 till försumbara 0,99% 2025. Medierna bestämmer med sina val vad som är viktigt, vad vi blir rädda för och därmed vilka frågor som hamnar högt inför det kommande valet www.journalisten.se/debatt/svts-...

If you ever want a good argument for why we need science in society, it is so that we can find out things like this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thanks for a stimulating panel today at the @ec.europa.eu Climate Pact event. And thanks for making space for these powerful Latvian musicians, activists and environmentalists, Be Brave to Act.

This is a great resource for cartoons on poverty, injustice and colonialism: polyp.org.uk/cartoons/wea...

OK svenska klimatnördar - jag skulle inte översätta klimatomställning som climate transformation, utan snarare som climate transition. Men finns det bara ett begrepp och isf hur ska man skilja mellan transition och transformation på svenska?

Have you heard of paper mills? If you are an academic and especially if you are a journal editor, you will know what this is. Even so, this video was really eye-opening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEwi...
