Super cool PhD position!🌍

Not here to discuss the choice of Time's #PersonOfTheYear but I have to ask it... Is this cover meant to reflect how AI can make images but they're always kind of wonky somehow?

Deze puinhopen opruimen gaat jaren en miljarden kosten

Kijk naar de livestream over het Klimaatakkoord, aanstaande vrijdag om 12 uur op xrtv.nl!

Texelse milieuwetenschapper Joshua Nooij vertelde vol vuur over alles wat er leeft in de Noordzee, en hoe boorplatforms dat leven dwarsbomen. Joshua probeert samen met andere wetenschappers en activisten gasboringen in de Noordzee te voorkomen of vertragen. Lees het hele interview hier ⬇️

The UN General Assembly resolution against torture was rejected by only three countries: the US, Israel, and Argentina, who remind the world that they oppose even the most basic principles of humanity.

Science of the total environment (elsevier) gets deindexed. This is your regular reminder to please stop chasing impact factors and shitty metrics so we can stop feeding this awful system... An alternative is to publish in more society journals (when possible).

Fijn dat de Waddenzee -voor nu- gered is, maar belachelijk dat we NAM moeten betalen om onze natuur niet te slopen. Criminele acties afkopen zijn maffiapraktijken.

Although the precariousness for non-profs is a major issue the the volume of teaching for profs is also really wild. 9 hours of teaching every week, every semester, which you cannot pass on to anyone else. Research time is about 10-20% if you are lucky (and have headspace left for anything). 🤯

I cannot stress this enough. Germany is becoming a phd factory while there is limited future, especially for foreigners after.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

"Toen natuurkundige Tjerk Oosterkamp zich twee jaar geleden aansloot bij Extinction Rebellion, ontdekte hij tot zijn eigen verrassing wat er eigenlijk wél en niet mocht. “Ik wist niet eens dat ik op de snelweg mág staan,” zegt hij." […]

'A shutdown of the AMOC “cannot be considered a low likelihood risk anymore in view of the evolving science over the past years,” said @rahmstorf.bsky.social , a physical oceanographer and climatologist who has studied the AMOC at @pik-potsdam.bsky.social '

A great excursion to the Ruhrverband in Essen with our Master's students from the Environmental Conflicts course today! We learned all about reservoir management, stream #restoration and managing #IAS while accounting for other interests - thank you for having us!😊 @valentinecology.bsky.social

this is incredibly lucid and valuable research.

"The Hague’s fossil-fuel advertising ban is more than a policy- it’s a signal. By rejecting the normalization of fossil fuel promotion, the decision to implement a ban locally can challenge entrenched norms globally... FF advertising bans present a compelling opportunity for governments to act"

Hey everyone, is there a literature (can be grey) discussing the ethics of using #generativeAI in #conservation and-or #ecology? I have to persuade some folks to consider the “darker” side of it and some authoritative/academic sources would really help. Thanks for any links. 🌍#conservationscience

From Dr. Rachel Cleetus: "Humans still have agency over this dire problem we have caused... The choices our political leaders make now — including at #COP30 — will determine the future we leave to our children and grandchildren... Global cooperation is absolutely essential to solve this challenge."

My favourite autumn activity!😍

Toeslagenaffaire, Groningers kapot, zorg kapot, onderwijs gesloopt, wooncrisis veroorzaakt, mensen de armoede ingewerkt, PVV groot gemaakt, PVV nog groter gemaakt, PVV de grootste gemaakt, in een flutkabinet met nul oplossingen gestapt. En nóg verliest de VVD slechts één zetel. Wat een land.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

The #ClimateCrisis isn't waiting for us. Not for citizens, not for politicians. Not for elections, not for formations. It's the largest problem we are facing as humanity, and we call on the politicians that are taking part in the elections on 29 October to start taking it seriously by promising to:

Och svag är det sämsta en kan vara som maskulin. För då är en inte maskulin. Då är en feminin. Och detta kära vänner är den absolut mest toxiska biten med maskulinitet och hela ideen om att maskulinitet och femininitet ens är en grej.

Spotify sucks. I recommend Qobuz because they have the most high resolution (24/96+) versions of songs/albums. Tidal is also very good so I use both. If you have a streaming server at home get Roon since you can combine all your music services plus they have the best player & playlist generator.

My heart was jubilant while reading this story this morning - more than 100 Chinook salmon have passed the former Klamath River dam sites as well as the fish ladder at Klamath Lake and are naturally spawning in Oregon headwaters for the first time in over a century! 🐟🧪🌎 www.opb.org/article/2025...

Det här är det viktiga. Ja, det är vidrigt att Greta utsattes för det här, och det bör såklart uppmärksammas, men tusentals palestinier utsätts hela tiden för värre.
