Puh – was gab es im Sommer für Prügel für meine Aussage zur Bedrohung der Landwirtschaft. Nun steht auch im aktuellen Aufruf der Meteorologischen und Physikalischen Gesellschaft genau dies drin. Ich bin fast erleichtert. Weil ich ständig selbst reflektiere, ob ich manchmal zu drastisch kommuniziere.

"Von Maßstab und Menschlichkeit" von Sebastian Seiffert @sci-ffert.bsky.social, geht gerade viral 💪

Schaut es euch an, — und teilt es, auch gerade außerhalb "unserer Bubble" 🙏

Very happy to have given a talk and presented my phd project at this year’s @gfoesoc.bsky.social about insect trends
Grateful for the inspiring discussions and feedback on my research and my colleagues and supervisors @ekengelhardt.bsky.social @christianhof.bsky.social @globalchangeeco.bsky.social
Christian Hof Eva Katharina Engelhardt and me in front of a wall where my poster is attached. We smile and enjoy drinks. On the poster, you can see my phd project about exploring regional insect rends. the sun outside is shining and other posters are in the room, too

Just quoting the final key point, which very few leaders seem to be acting on:
"While policies are needed to protect people from heat, a rapid shift away from fossil fuels is the most effective way to avoid hotter and deadlier summers."

The summer is over - and for about 16,600 people across 854 European cities that doesn't mean autumn comes, but death. People who would still be alive if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. - New study with @lshtm.bsky.social www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

If you are curious about Wallace type of regionalization re-assessment @bugecology.bsky.social mentioned #gfoe2025

Come to my talk & let's talk about the legacy of yet another old white dead men's legacy.

Congratulations dear Volker Grimm (www.ufz.de/index.php?en... to the honorary medal of the @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025

He helped me a lot in my early synthesis years @idiv-research.bsky.social always calling for involving theory

Maybe we still write the paper we talk about since 10 years.🤭😱
