Air pollution particles don't just enter your lungs, they attach themselves to red blood cells and move around the whole body. We don't breathe them out, so pollution accumulates in the body causing organ damage, dementia and more. Reduce emissions and clear the air. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Read a nice short story after a long time...heartwarming and humane www.thedoe.com/article/poor...

Wie wird der Wissenschaftsstandort #Deutschland 2040 aussehen? „Die Relevanz von Wissenschaft muss höher sein als heute. Sonst fahren wir vor die Wand“, sagt Wolfgang Wick, Vorsitzender @wissenschaftsrat.de www.zeit.de/wissen/2026-... [ZEIT (+)] Die Zukunftsagenda im Original findet Ihr hier 👇

Alpine areas are heating up faster than the rest of the planet: all the cities that staged the #WinterGames since 1950 have heated up in the years since by an average of 2.7C, according to scientists. That’s well above 1.4C, the warming average for the entire planet www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Not all #tsunamis come from the seafloor, some are triggered by the atmosphere, driven by fast-moving storms and pressure waves, and can strike coasts with little warning.🌊 Learn more in @eos.org: buff.ly/aS3Lsxa #NaturalHazards #Oceans #SeaLevel #meteotsunamis @reviewsgeophysics.bsky.social

Let’s save the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the prime climate research lab in the US. ✊

Sand & dust storms (SDS) are major hazards. This month, Libya was hit by winds of up to 80 km/h. Libya’s NMHS issued forecasts & warnings to keep casualties to a minimum. WMO seeks to strengthen operational forecasting to reduce the impacts of SDS. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3NI6GV3

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

„Fungal #volatiles drive #lifestyle-dependent, systemic metabolic reprogramming in poplar“ Can plant #roots recognise the odours of #fungi? yes, & much more: they can distinguish them & adapt the metabolism of the plant. #PlantScience @andrea.Ghirardo.BSky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

🌡️ WMO confirms 2025 was one of warmest years on record. 2025 was one of the 3 warmest years on record, with the global average surface temperature at 1.44°C ± 0.13°C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of 8 datasets. 🔗 https://bit.ly/49xpkWP

During the interwar period (c. 1918-1939) universities were in economic crisis, rising authoritarianism, ideological polarization & global instability. Sound familiar? What did successful academic leaders do? 🧵⬇️

@wcrpclimate.bsky.social APARC releases a landmark report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption 159 scientists. 21 countries. 3 years. One report. More information here: https://bit.ly/493hOmz #WCRP #APARC #ScienceforAction #HungaEruption

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Harvard scientists today announced a study where they were able to piece together that you are much too hard on yourself, trying to fulfill many unreasonable expectations. You are awesome the way you are. You are loved. You have worth. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Be kind.

🌍 The Global Atmosphere Watch Programme provides trusted science and information on air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and other atmospheric constituents that affect our health, climate, and ecosystems. #GAW #WMO #ScienceforAction

Great to see so much support from our community for NCAR.

The Weather and Society Conference 2026, under the WMO’s World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) will take place online from 23–26 February 2026. 🌍 Conference dates: 23–26 Feb. 2026 (Online) 🔗 Registration: https://bit.ly/3LL5cZl

Anyone fancy a PhD looking at the chemistry involved when bushfire smoke taints wine? 🍇🍇🍇 Co-supervised by #CSIRO's Fabienne Reisen in my team scholarships.adelaide.edu.au/Scholarships...

Air Quality Research using PTR-TOFMS! New work from IISER Mohali used High-Mass-Resolution PTR-TOFMS to precisely trace the origins of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Delhi's atmosphere. Read the full story of their essential research! 👇 www.ionicon.com/blog/2025/ii...

If you work on sources and impacts of VOCs (biogenic or anthropogenic) from measurement to modeling perspectives please submit an abstract to our atmospheric organics session at #EGU26! Our invited speakers are @dbm.bsky.social and @jacquirickard.bsky.social See you in Vienna! tinyurl.com/55vda8u7

Postdoc opening: airborne NH3 measurements Join our team! The UMN atmospheric chemistry group is recruiting a postdoc to collect and analyze airborne NH3 measurements as part of NASA FarmFlux. See z.umn.edu/aw67 for details, & contact Julieta ([email protected]) and I ([email protected]) with questions!

An early sunset behind Bear Peak in Boulder.

In my experience of serving on national and international science steering committees the best , balanced, well thought and above all most helpful inputs have come from women colleagues 😀, if only more glass ceilings for leadership positions could be smashed for them, we would all do better!

Beautiful autumn day on the campus of @fz-juelich.de today.

The eyes that see cannot speak The mouth that can speak cannot see Alas! Even if the mouth could speak would the ears hear ? To what avail therfore all such!

Professor Baerbel and Dr. Savita Datta's work from IISER Mohali on Biogenic VOCs and proposal of a new index for selection.of best suited trees in urban environments in ToI today @igacproject.bsky.social @igac-ecr.bsky.social timesofindia-indiatimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/timesofi...

Lidia Morawska, an internationally renowned expert in air quality and its impact on human health, has won Australia's most coveted prize for scientific research.

Half known half unknown , much unknown unknown from the unknown pie 😉.....

This week.....maybe...

No news is good news !

timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/w... The message from the studies is clear -- Delhi’s air-quality strategy must differentiate between visible pollution and chemical toxicity.

We have a new PhD project to study ozone formation from fires. If interested in atmospheric chemistry, fires, living in Zurich, and studying at ETH, consider applying here: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

Could a “smoke alarm” for airborne contaminants monitor and improve the quality of the air indoors? (Where Americans spend 90 percent of their time!) An interdisciplinary research team led by @linseymarr.bsky.social will create such a system that could cut respiratory illnesses by 25 percent. 👏

Global action for #cleanair! G20 ministers adopt the Cape Town Ministerial Declaration on Air Quality, protecting vulnerable populations, sharing best practices, and expanding access to reliable data. Read the full declaration here: bit.ly/42X2eGO

The words will resonate for many scientists working in the global south/ less privileged insts...tokenism runs high...but to expect science which is also a human driven enterprise to be any different from other sectors is utopian perhaps..hope Science remains better off than other domains...

The obsession with economic output as a measure of human development puts sustainability on the back burner Time to end the GDP mania Our editorial inspired by a @nature.com paper that looks at how the world should really measure prosperity 🧪 #SGDs #doughnuteconomics www.nature.com/articles/d41...
