The Global South isn’t waiting for the West to save the planet.

I don't need AI to help me with research and writing. I need AI to do all my chores and manual labor (e.g. laundry, cleaning, etc.) so I can focus on more important work and my writing.

Pope Francis sheltered the homeless. Now they wonder who will follow reut.rs/4jGiXof

Pope Francis spoke often about the importance of environmental stewardship in a way none of his predecessors had, connecting climate change to social inequities: cnn.it/4jnHRbX

💧It's #WorldWaterDay! This #WaterDay, learn about WRI’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, showing that 25 countries, housing 1/4 of the global population, face extremely high water stress each year, regularly using up almost their entire available water supply. Get the data: go.wri.org/water-day-25

Journal publications should do the same. Research reports and scientific articles based on public records or those that are publicly-funded should be open access.

Extreme weather events last year displaced the most people since 2008 and exacerbated a food crisis in more than a dozen countries, the World Meteorological Organization says

Primum non nocere.

Freshwater biodiversity is declining twice as fast as in oceans & forests. A new UNEP-led project will help Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania & Zambia restore Lake Tanganyika’s ecosystems and promote sustainable resource use: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

THREAD Things that didn't make the news that will likely change our lives for the better The news is not an accurate reflection of the world. Good news doesn't get reported as much. Here are the wonderful things researchers have achieved recently. 1/24

An interesting take on the intersection of art and nature.

Countering #misinformation isn’t just about the facts—it’s about how those facts spread through social networks and communities. #Science being right isn’t enough; it must be accepted within social circles to make an impact. https://buff.ly/4b3knWe

The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care. Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress. The people you want in your corner are the ones who celebrate your growth.

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn. Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday. Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

Ignorance & arrogance - move fast, break things and by the time the law catches up, people are dead, institutions are destroyed ... fait accompli ... that's the strategy. The impact will be felt in decades: that's what we learned in the Philippines. www.amazon.com/How-Stand-Up...

If you can, do something, speak up and act up. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Even Ronnie Chieng understands climate change. 😁

Wetlands are vital for #biodiversity, including as critical habitats for many migratory species.🐦🌍🧪 — @ipbes.bsky.social #LandDegradation Assessment Yet, many of these #wetlands are now threatened. Learn how wetlands support biodiversity with Ramsar for #WWD2025: www.worldwetlandsday.org

I am worried about the future of open, collaborative, and transparent scientific research given what is happening in the world today.

Global inequalities hinder climate action (good paper from Susan Ann Samuel, Leeds) theconversation.com/how-global-i...

Environmental risks dominate @weforum.org Global Risks Report 2025. Extreme weather & #biodiversity loss top 10-year threats. Pollution rises in short-term urgency. 🌍 The IPBES #NexusAssessment just showed how important it is to tackle interlinked crises together. www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

It's like what our parents told us in the past how video games and computers destroy our minds. In Filipino language, they used to say "Kaka kompyuter / video games nyo yan".

The new #IPBES Nexus Assessment Report highlights the importance of the biodiversity-health nexus. Specific response options suggested include nature on prescription & embracing a #OneHealth approach. Topics close to our heart! ipbes.canto.de/v/IPBES11Med...

Happy New Year to all! Wishing everyone the best of 2025. 🎉🥂

Exactly a year ago, during my visit to the Tate Modern in London, I got a copy of Nobel Peace Prize awardee Maria Ressa’s book and shared my excitement on my old Twitter account. To my surprise, she replied, asking me to share my thoughts—a promise I’m finally keeping. @mariaressa.bsky.social

Merry Christmas to all! 🎄✨️

A new UN report #NexusAssessment by @ipbes.bsky.social launched today, explores 70 response options to maximise co-benefits from action across five ‘nexus elements’ ➡️ biodiversity, water, food, health and climate change. Read the summary for policymakers here:

🎉 Congratulations to SciX Community's Dr. Stephanie Jarmak @sjarmak.bsky.social on being elected AGU Secretary for the #Informatics Section! 📢 If you’re at #AGU24 hear her speak at her talk today: 🕑 2:55 – 3:05 PM (2:10–3:40 PM session) 📍 Marriott Marquis, Liberty M 🔗 Details: s.si.edu/3BuA37r

I like how I am able to use this platform to reconnect with people in the science community. So happy to see @wolfgangcramer.net and @timfouqueray.bsky.social here who I met during the Future Earth autumn school 2023.

The biggest room in the world is the room for self-improvement.

Finally, you are here!

This is a welcome development for academics and researchers!

This is a major step in reclaiming truthful public discourse and trust in legitimate sources of information. This organic grey rocking can lead to the demise of such platforms. Contrary to claims that it creates an echo chamber, it actively disrupts the cycle that disinformation peddlers depend on.

I am now considering this option. I won't delete my X account (yet). But I will no longer engage with others in the platform. I'll fully transition to Bluesky from the 1st of December 2024.

1/16. ⚠️USEFUL INFO: The fourth meeting (B4) of the Board of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage will start on Monday in Manila in the Philippines 🇵🇭, yet shockingly 🤯 the only document 📜 available at this time is the provisional agenda. 🔗See: unfccc.int/event/fourth...

It's oddly insane to spend billions looking for ways for humans to live in outer space. Meanwhile, we keep destroying that blue-green planet that's proven to be habitable.

"31–67% and 51–91% of the planetary boundary breaching responsibility could be attributed to the global top 10% and top 20% of consumers, respectively, from both developed and developing countries."
