There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

One week to go! I am recruiting a postdoc, call ends October 7 🍃🌿☘️ In ecology, University of Helsinki is the leading university in Finland and the Nordics and the fifth-best in Europe (ShangaiRanking's 2024). And for 8 years in a row, Finland is still the happiest country in the world :-)

Can we please stop using LLM-generated images in scientific presentations? Why do we need to illustrate our slides with completely made up “organisms”? #rant

Wow! I am very much against this. The deep value of GenBank is in it being a public domain database with 0 limitations on use. The norm that when we publish, we share the sequencing data supporting its claims *with 0 limitations on use* is so important for open science. I hope it doesn't change!

Happy International Microorganism Day! 🎉 Today, we are celebrating the tiny powerhouses that have a massive impact on our world. From the bacteria in our gut to the fungi that give us antibiotics, these incredible organisms are essential to life. Let's make some noise for the microscopic!

On the same 9/11 that marks one of the worst crimes against humanity—the coup perpetrated by Pinochet and the USA in Chile against a democratically elected president—justice is served to Bolsonaro and his troupe. Brasil shows it can be done, it’s about time for other countries to follow.

We need to talk about geoengineering ⚠️ In a rapidly warming world with looming net zero due dates, there's growing polarised debate about whether we should intervene in Earth’s natural systems. This is a thread about the state of polar geoengineering, and how we should be talking about it ⬇️ 🧵 1/6

🚨 Postdoc opportunities! 🚨 We’re looking for postdocs in 🌿 biodiversity science, 🧬 genetic indicator assessment, and 📊 ecological statistics. Join us in unraveling the drivers & consequences of global change on biodiversity — and be part of a supportive & collaborative environment! DL 24 September

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in statistics to develop methods for analyzing large scale biodiversity and ecosystem function data at the University of Helsinki. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to do advanced Bayesian modeling with direct link to real world applications.

So long, A23a. 🥹

Dear UK media, Dial it down, loves. Take a day off. Press a reset. We can't live in this fever dream about AI and riots. We're so tired. Let's reconvene in a couple of days after you've given yourself time to calm down and start thinking straight, okay duckies? Yours, Everyone.

Once again on the “achievements” of the most right wing government in the history of #Finland. Sigh. To warn others to learn from our mistakes. On the left, government projections of new jobs (blue) vs the reality (red); on the right, distribution of tax cuts by income decile.

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

@theipcinfo.bsky.social warns: the worst-case scenario of #famine is unfolding in #Gaza. Mass starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths. @who.int calls for urgent access for food and medical aid into Gaza at scale. Ceasefire. Peace is the best medicine!

How may theoretical ecology & evolutionary theory push microbiology forward? At Environmental Microbiology, I am commissioning a series of Perspectives exploring that question. Excited to share them in the 🧵 below The series is open, so do get in touch if you'd like to propose a new contribution!
