🎓 Please join us for a PhD in Remote Sensing of Vegetation Structure at Aarhus University. It's a great place to live and work, and an inspiring university to do research 😊 phd.nat.au.dk/for-applican...

It isn't too late to submit an abstract for the @biogeography.bsky.social meeting in Aarhus in January! They just extended the deadline to 8 September. Hope to see you there!

Apologies in advance if you know but if you add " -ai" to the end of any Google search it doesn't do that standard ai summary. Saves on the rubbish and a tiny wee bit "greener" on the energy use front

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Proposed cut to NSF Biology budget is 70%. 70%. Seventy. Call your senators & reps nonstop. Give them numbers on NSF impact for state/district. tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/NSFbyN... explain this will decimate the economy if their districts, especially if it has a major research univ. 🧪

Spring picnic in Uppsala with team 🇧🇷!

The time has come to value tropical fieldworkers as equal partners. With billions spent on watching forests from space, the skills of foresters and botanists have never been more vital. In our #Nature correspondence we show why - and what needs to change. #GEO-TREES rdcu.be/enT5S
