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

1️⃣❓️How to get published in ecology❓️

A great direct way to learn & ask questions about/to journals (i.e. some of their editors) @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025

2️⃣❓️Should we do a gofundme page for @uni-wuerzburg.de to get functional microphones?🤭❓️

Great activity!
