About two years ago I made a series of three videos about toxic workplaces in academia. Consider the possibility that you might end up in such a place as real, plan accordingly, and do your research to avoid getting into such a situation. Hope this helps someone... youtu.be/VUXz9EJMAbo

The US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Research Division can’t use the words “climate”, “vulnerable”, and “safe drinking water” anymore, as well as the below list 🤯 newrepublic.com/post/193395/...

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights: 1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

"We notably predict that Madrid’s climate in 2050 will resemble Marrakech’s climate today, Stockholm will resemble Budapest, London to Barcelona, Moscow to Sofia, Seattle to San Francisco, Tokyo to Changsha" By 2050! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Longer dry & rainy periods are reshaping our soils! 🌱💧 A 16-month study shows that persistent #precipitation regimes degrade #soil by reducing stability, water retention & infiltration—potentially worsening #climate change impacts on #grasslands. @olgavinduskova.bsky.social 🔗 buff.ly/v4wwgwp (MK)

The first announcement of ISEE13 is up! Hope to see all earthwormologists in Wageningen on August 23-28, 2026! We will still improve the website a bit, but we already have the best organizing team and an amazing logo (thanks @tulca.bsky.social !) With @niooknaw.bsky.social, VU, Louis Bolk Institute

Reading in journal club Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📣 Our paper is out 🌍💧🌱 More persistent precipitation regimes induce soil degradation in @geoderma.bsky.social with @simonreynaert.bsky.social @k-oron.bsky.social Open access ➡️ tinyurl.com/persistprecip Here’s what we discovered⬇️🧵

Hello, Bluesky world! I'm new here and long story short: I love soil. Sometimes I wish I could bury my whole head in it, but turns out this only works for ostriches, more specifically, only the cartoon ones.
