Our bias towards charismatic species leaves 'ugly' animals behind in conservation efforts. But should looks determine which species we protect?🐡 🎧 @ipbes.net podcast ep feat. the world's ugliest animal "Mr. Blobby": https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-j54ym-17ac1d1

Hello Bluesky! We are Scientist Rebellion Finland and just started our blue journey here. With love and rage!

It is quite obvious who labours in this household. #herroyalhighness #Marx #CapitalVol1 #NewTranslation

5/15 Meillä on lajeja jotka sinnittelevät vain luonnontilaisten metsien rippeillä. Mitä pienempi alue, sitä todennäköisemmin laji vielä häviää. Uutta ei tilalle tule, koska.. mistäpä tulisi. Suojelualueet kehittyvät luonnontilaan, mutta kaikilla lajeilla ei ole aikaa odottaa vuosisatoja. Ja SIKSI..

The fact that the most thorough and technologically advanced genocide of our time, the rise of fascism & destruction of US academia, are all being justified under the umbrella of opposing antisemitism is not just a heinous trick of history. It means something quite profound.

Two of my favorites at the same time: It's the International Day of Happiness and the World Parasite Awareness Day. I do love being happy and I do love parasites.

Microplastics damage plants' ability to photosynthesize. According to a new estimate, 4-14% of global production of staple crops like wheat is being lost due to microplastics. Other stuff too. How come trying to get rid of microplastics isn't on the news every day?

Aloite puolustushankintojen sääntelystä -kansalaisaloitteessa esittää, että puolustushankintoja tehdessä huomioitaisiin jatkossa kansainväliset ihmisoikeussopimukset ja kansainvälisen humanitaarisen oikeuden tavoitteiden toteutuminen. lakisarmaan.fi

I just used again so much time on email today. To be fair, I have a 20 week streak on less than 5 h of email per week. But STILL, it's so easy to get flooded when sorting my inbox. I'm dreaming of focusing on my book manuscript. And world peace.

Tammikuussa sai ensi-iltansa Onko tulevaisuudella toivoa, Ele Alenius? -dokumentti, jossa esiinnyn yhtenä asiantuntijana talouden teemoista. Seuraa tiedote oman näytöksen järjestämisestä esimerkiksi opintopiirinä:

It's always a bit weird to come across my own work in searches. I guess it proves I'm in the same field, from which I'm searching? This time my recently published essay "The political economy of ecofeminist degrowth" came to my attention. The other alert item is super interesting, downloaded!

Fire chiefs warn UK is not prepared for climate crisis impacts

Suomen soista yli puolet on ojitettu, eli pidetäänhän lopuista erityisen hyvää huolta 💚 #maailmankosteikkopäivä #WorldWetlandsDay

Reading The Dawn of Everything ruins at least half of popular history books you try to read afterwards. Because if an author starts building their case with a simple, linear narrative of human history…you already know it’s bullshit. What else are they going to be wrong about?

Yesterday was #puistokatu4 day with a lunch meeting at Elm restaurant. I was reading in the soft room next to the sleeping bear 🩵 I'm in the middle of an article manuscript revision crunch and pre-examining a Phd thesis. A full January! #academicwork #academicselfie #ravintolaelm

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

What a week of culminations 🎉 (1) Wednesday was the premier of the documentary 'Onko tulevaisuudella toivoa, Ele Alenius' produced by #kslopintokeskus I was one of the interviewed experts back in May 2024. The movie is touching, informative and hopeful.

Climate science is complex! 2 recent studies show that 1) A decline in cloud cover (over oceans) has likely contributed to the recent accelerated warming insideclimatenews.org/news/0512202... & 2) a decline in cloud cover (over land) has likely done the opposite! www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

This has barely made a dent in news coverage. Absolutely devastating impacts of the cyclone in Mayotte: "There are severe shortages of food, water and shelter in certain areas. Some 85% of the territory remains without power." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

All I want for Christmas is for my R&Rs to be accepted with no more revisions. #tenuretack #academicsky

🧪 A JAMA study finds men use more promotional language in biomedical grant applications, improving funding odds. Younger applicants and those seeking larger grants also employ this strategy more often. #WomenInSTEM #AcademicSky

This cannot be true

Oh no! These poor farmers will end up in jail for blocking roads, just like the climate activists currently in prison (who tried to ensure farming will remain a possibility in the coming decades) Unless the government, police & justice system was biased? (www.theguardian.com/environment/... )

It seems organising a funding info is among the top means to get scholars present (online) in great numbers #academia #academicwork #academiccapitalism #academiccompetition

Miten voin olla ylpeä maastani, jos täällä oikein valtion väkivaltakoneiston voimin varmistetaan, että Natsit saa marssia pääkaupungin kaduilla ja lukea natsikirjoja sen pääkirjastossa rauhassa ja häiriöttä?

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää, Suomi.

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

I support a strong Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. Join me greenpeace.org/internationa...

People with HIV will be able to receive kidney or liver transplants from donors who also have HIV, federal health officials announced Tuesday. The landmark move, which takes effect Wednesday, is expected to shorten wait times for organs for all patients.

Absolute must-read: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... We critically examine ten key hypotheses that form the foundations of mainstream economics. Each fails to satisfy one or more of the basic requirements of scientific practice.

James Bond movies never show the part where the supervillain collects government subsidies to build his death tech.

An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
