This should be in the 'must read list' for 1st year grad students. Loved the quotes, spirit, and important message. I do worry that science is necessary but not sufficient against the current challenges though.
In our latest paper in PNAS, we ask: How can scientific progress be accelerated to meet the urgent challenges of the Anthropocene? We point to significant barriers in forecasting & prediction efforts for the biosphere 🧵👇 🧪🌎🦋 1/n www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
