Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke: Q: What did Crick & Watson discover? A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.

Es wird höchste Zeit für den einzigen wahren Tankrabatt: Das 9€ Ticket. Es hat weder Ölkonzerne & Diktatoren finanziert, 1,8 Mio.T. CO2 eingespart, in 23 von 26 Städten Stau reduziert, höhere Umsätze fürs Gewerbe gebracht und 30 Mio. Menschen entlastet. Es muss wieder reaktiviert werden💪

Gerade in einem Essay über sexuelle Gewalt (Autorin Susanne Beyer) über diesen Satz gestolpert: "Jede Frau sollte und muss die Disziplin aufbringen, keinen Generalverdacht gegenüber Männern zu schöpfen." Ich muss gar nichts. Selbstschutz hat immer Priorität! Dieser Generalverdacht kann Leben retten

Whenever I find myself doom-scrolling, I immediately slide over to the knitting feed. It never fails. This week is lace week on #showmeyourknits and there are some really inspiring designs! Also, did you know knitting has a long history of civil resistance? knittingforclimate.com/knitting-as-...

ok, sorry, this is now a thread for re-posting all my dumb survey-themed valentine poems from past years on twitter

reposting a couple pixel Valentine pieces for you💚

The science is clear. The stakes are real. AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability. We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy. buff.ly/wX1BQ2t

13th February 2026 marks the 29th anniversary of the Great Lego Spill, when nearly five million pieces of Lego fell into the ocean after a cargo ship laden with goods was hit by a storm.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

The project will be co-supervised by Maire Holz and myself @zalf.bsky.social as part of @bexplo.bsky.social. You will spend time in the greenhouse and the lab as well as in data synthesis and conceptual thinking. jobs.zalf.de/jobposting/a...

Tomorrow I'll be talking about mental health in the geosciences as part of the EGU BG ECS webinar series. www.egu.eu/webinars/694... #AuDHD #AcademicMentalHealth

in dem Wort „Schmerz“ steckt Merz drin

Die Armen kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie, die Kranken kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie, die Alten kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie. In ihren Villen mit ihren Privatflugzeugen, bezahlt mit dem Geld, das ihre Familien seit Generationen aus der Gesellschaft saugen.

Become part of our team 👇! Really cool project in a fantastic research environment 🤓 More info on our institute: www.iesw.uni-hannover.de/en/

The fact watermelon exists implies the existence of earthmelon, firemelon, windmelon, and heartmelon

In addition to the 2 postdoc jobs posted yesterday, we’re recruiting 2 PhD students (environmental microbiology/ molecular ecology) to join us from April. The projects will map microbial populations across niches in bioelectrochemical systems relevant to biomethanation & link them to performance.

Everyone is looking for the fountain of youth–but dare we say, we probably found it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Die Zukunft sieht rostig aus.

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

Dear #Root / #PlantScientists 🧪, Do you know of any #ProgrammedCellDeath #PCD genes that are specific for #RootHairs only? The 🌱 species does not matter. RP pls. #PlantScience #PlantResearch 🧬👩‍🔬

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the ISRR Mini Symposium next week — a day of online presentations focused on roots 🌱 #ISRR @rootscientists.bsky.social @hutton.ac.uk

So, when my contract at the university is over in 2.5 months (!!!), I'm stepping out into the great unknown. What will I do? Industry research, venture capital, patent law...? My call for help is: what are you doing after a science PhD, how did you get there? Or just leave a word of advice 👇

NEUER Cartoon auf meiner Website: ruthe.de/static/carto...

New World Economic Forum Global Risks data provides a stark warning: While short-term crises dominate headlines, "Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse" jumps to the 2nd highest risk over the 10-year horizon. The long term is sooner than we think. Science-based policies via IPBES are crucial.🌍

#hiring again: you are looking for a postdoctoral position in the field of machine learning? You love Biogeoscience? Your chance to join #TeamTERRA! Find the full job ad at: www.terra-cluster.org -> career

Our postdoc, @martasu.bsky.social, will, in her MSCA project, study the symbiotic relationship between cable bacteria and seagrasses, exploring how these microbes may improve plant health, mitigate toxic sulphides and support growth under nitrogen limitation via N₂ fixation. 🌱🔬

🧶All diejenigen, die eine #ProfessurHaben, sind zu dem Zeitpunkt m.E hinreichend abgeklärt, sodass zwar Erleichterung nach der Berufung eintritt, aber die Erwartung sich in Grenzen hält. Das ist bei tenure track-Stellen umso früher der Fall - was eigentlich ein unintendierter Vorteil ist: Realismus!

Guten Morgen! Heute ist der Internationale Dankeschön-Tag!

Lustiger Zufall: Mein Budget für Geduld mit Überreichen ist auch schon ausgeschöpft.
