Co-hosting this session at #EGU2026 and we're looking for YOUR research! 🌱

📢 Call for Abstracts – @egu.eu 2026 Join our session on VOCs at the Biosphere-Atmosphere Interface: From Molecular Mechanisms to Global Models🌱🧪🌐 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio... @molteniu.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @riikkarinnan.bsky.social @voltcenter.bsky.social

Mindscape 331 | Solo: Fine-Tuning, God, and the Multiverse. In which I shamelessly steal material from the #PhilosophyOfCosmology course I am teaching to talk about some big questions. #MindscapePodcast www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025...

‪ The lightweight and minimally invasive ECOvette enables real-time measurements of VOCs, CO₂, and water vapour at the leaf level. Integrated multi-sensor monitoring of leaf temperature as well as ambient temperature and humidity ensures robust field data under natural conditions.

We are searching for a Forest Ecophysiologist (tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, University of British Columbia Faculty of Forestry. Please share! Details are here: ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/ubcfacultyjobs

Join us for our next Biodiversity Seminar (24 Sep) with @sofiavanmoorsel.bsky.social (University of Zurich): Drought Responses and Intraspecific Variation in European Beech Across Europe. All welcome, in-person or online! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/de...

Mindscape 327 | Cass Sunstein on Liberalism. He defines "liberalism" broadly, including folks from Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to Martin Luther King and Franklin Roosevelt. #MindscapePodcast www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025...

The first of many! We have published the first individual video from JuliaCon Global 2025, the Introduction to Julia Workshop! Check it out and look out for over 200 additional videos from Pittsburgh to be published over the coming weeks! youtu.be/46hkaaDBgX4 #JuliaLang #JuliaCon #Programming #CS

Air pollutants, biodiversity loss, and climate stress - the pressures on forests have changed. Long-term measurements are crucial for identifying impacts at an early stage. They are a basis for forest management and environmental policy. @waldwissen.bsky.social: www.waldwissen.net/en/technique...

#FWF Präsident Christof Gattringer befürchtet starke Budgeteinsparungen für #Grundlagenforschung in Österreich: 800 Arbeitsplätze könnten durch Kürzungen wegfallen. Die Unis würden dadurch weiter an Boden bei der Spitzenforschung verlieren. via @derstandard.at 👉 www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

📢 The Federal Council plans to reduce the SNSF's budget by 270 million Swiss francs. The SNSF rejects these cuts. However, in order to be prepared, it has decided to cut costs in consultation with all partners. ➡️https://sohub.io/n2b1 #research #science #CHParl

Last Saturday, around 250 people gained an in-depth insight into afforestation and other #research work at #Stillberg in #Davos, where the #SLF and @wslresearch.bsky.social planted 92'000 trees 50 years ago. More impressions can be found in the news article: www.slf.ch/en/news/ruec... 📷️ Haoyun Liu

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers are working backward — starting with the result to learn the rules behind it. @georgemusser.com, SFI’s 2025 Journalism Fellow, explores how this could reshape computation and self-organization in Quanta:

@clechartre.bsky.social reimplemented #BIOME4 into a modular, high-performance #Julia version, enabling 1 km vegetation modeling 🌱 and integration of #CHELSA climate datasets. 🌦️ We can now simulate biome patterns across complex terrains ⛰️ and define biome boundaries with greater accuracy. 🎯

More and more dangerous forest pests and diseases are entering Switzerland with trade or travellers. Since 2025, these are being monitored throughout Switzerland. The WSL has published a new factsheet on this topic: www.wsl.ch/en/news/inte... #ForestProtectionSwitzerland #QuarantineOrganisms #Pests

Con le merci o i viaggiatori entrano in Svizzera sempre più parassiti e malattie forestali pericolose. Questi vengono monitorati in tutta la Svizzera dal 2025. Il WSL ha prodotto una nuova scheda informativa sull'argomento: www.wsl.ch/it/news/rile... #ProtezioneDellaForestaSvizzera #OrganismiNocivi

Full house at our exciting PhD course on #BVOCs and #isotope techniques: advancing #ecosystem #research that will run for 3 days at @voltcenter.bsky.social

We are hosting a PhD course on volatiles in ecosystems for 30 international PhD students. Today we heard flash talks by all participants, got an introduction to isotopes, a lab tour and a tour in the Botanical Garden of #SNM. We are thankful for Faculty of Science @ucph.bsky.social for funding.

Mindscape Bonus Episode | Cuts to Science Funding and Why They Matter. I try to lay things out in a way that would be informative to partisans on both sides of the spectrum (with my own views perfectly evident). #MindscapePodcast www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025...
