Borg cube #Perovskite it is! #startrek 🤩

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

This is simply scary! I fear that many in the climate community privately already made their ‘peace’ with this scenario 🫣😬. political action is so 1980ies that any optimism that humanity will pull the rudder around in time seems just far-fetched

Yes indeed 🤗👇 as detailed as this new record is, we need more and longer such time series - but we will get there… it just takes time! 😎😅

Watch and learn about caves and climate in Angola! 🤩 members of the Speleoclub Berlin participated in the expedition 👇

Here some nice story and commentary on our recent work in #Yucatan with @olakwiecien3.bsky.social, the Godwin lab and so many others! Kudos to all our friends that support our research in this lovely region! 🥰

Drought was likely one of many stressors affecting Classic Maya cities. This paleoclimate record can help construct holistic pictures of how Maya cities responded to climate stress. eos.org/articles/maj...

I just received Science Under Siege written by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and @michaelemann.bsky.social The timing is so apropos having recently read The Deadly Rise of Anti-science: A Scientist's Warning

#ScienceUnderSiege went to press months ago. But this ending paragraph feels like it really resonates today:

This! 👇

Add to that that #titanite provides TiO2 - a billion dollar worth of pigment (titanium dioxide is found in ca 65% of all 🐷ments)!

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

This is amazing.

#stibnite is poisonous and used in fireworks that pollute our environment - so #perovskite it is! It just reminds me of the #starwars Borg Cube - what could be cooler? 😎🤩

Okeojeoje! 🤦 ja, und Coaching Coalas! 🫩 @pucicu.de @olakwiecien3.bsky.social @laurakrone.bsky.social

Space octahedrites forever ! As a major constituent in Fe-Ni meteorites #taenite it is! 🤩 ☄️

Wenn Rechtsextreme von "Remigration" sprechen, dann meinen sie ethnische Säuberung. Ein Ex-Neonazi bestätigt, was wir ohnehin schon wussten: Faschisten wollen den Faschismus. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

„Wie steht es um die moralische Anteilnahme am Schicksal eines Mannes, der so wenig auf andere gab? Sind wir ethisch zum Mitgefühl verpflichtet, selbst gegenüber jenen, die auf das Leben und die Würde ihrer Mitmenschen spucken?“ Meine Gedanken zur Ermordung von Charlie Kirk.

Oh, and here's the best part: Glendonite = #Calcite #TeamCalcite, you know what you have to do!

New paper alert led by Christina Song & Micha Campbell Working at Wombeyan Caves, we identified potential recharge events by logging cave drip water in a shallow cave During our monitoring, an intense fire occurred above the cave. Find out what happened here... andy-baker.org/2025/09/14/u...

A tough choice, but we're going with #tugtuptite in today's #MinCup25 matchup for this fun fact: The red mineral takes its name from the Greenlandic Inuit word for "reindeer blood"🩸😱

The Arctic is warming roughly 4x faster than the rest of the planet. How do we know how fast it will warm in the future? Models, alright, but palaeo-analogues from the deep past offer real data! In our new study… (1/2) cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...

It’s that time of year again! #MinCup25! Vote for your favourite mineral as long as it is #calcite! In the form of #speleothems this mineral tells us so many stories about our #climate through the ages! 🤩 from precipitation to temperature to wildfire to past forests…

While fluffy crystal balls are cute I stick with unhealthy #stibnite! If your coffee tastes a wee bit bitter it doesn’t always point to arsenic ☠️

Hey @bemorebob.bsky.social - your T-shirts are very much liked 😛 Pebble cleverly photo-bombs @olakwiecien3.bsky.social to join the terrier family 😂😂

Study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg shows that almost half of the rising carbon dioxide emissions after the ice age may have come from thawing permafrost. phys.org/news/2025-08...

Do you agree with these policies? @olakwiecien3.bsky.social @airedalefrodo.bsky.social

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

To no surprise food packaging is harmful not only for the environment but also human health
