👋 Bonjour hi!

We've built a whole new website, and @ctrlalttim.com has thoughts about the long-term dynamics of research groups to share.

The next challenge is to better understand how public institutions implement these actions and to explore how this knowledge makes research more useful and inclusive.

This work is part of the Poisot Lab @ctrlalttim.com

Some key things I found:

1️⃣ The jointly designed indicators show a stronger policy link.
2️⃣ Socioecological studies underrepresent some dimension of biodiversity.
3️⃣ Effective biodiversity policy requires aligning expert-driven analysis with broad stakeholder participation.

Today I presented at #LivingData2025 / #DatosVivos2025.

My research explores how people conducting socioecological studies use indicators and how those indicators are taken up in public policy.

#LivingData #DatosLivos is starting three days, and the lab (and friends) will be well represented. Here are some presentations you simply can't miss. 🧪🌎

On Oct 21, @crcruzr.bsky.social will tell you everything about socio-ecological indicators and what they don't yet do well.

El problema de la sociedad exponencial Tenemos una política cortoplacista ante dinámicas han alcanzado unas dimensiones que sobrepasan ciertos límites naturales o que plantean daños irreversibles

El avance científico y tecnológico crece exponencialmente, pero también las crisis ambientales, el crecimiento poblacional, entre otros. A su vez, las políticas cortoplacistas no logran adaptarse. ¿cómo propiciar un desarrollo inclusivo que reduzca el impacto ambiental?
