📢 We are down to the FINAL WEEK of the FEMS survey.

If you have not shared your views on emerging science, career development, and community support, now is the time! It is quick—only about 12 minutes.

The survey closes on Tuesday 11 November: buff.ly/ZghfWnM

Happy Birthday, Uni Bayreuth! Die Universität Bayreuth feierte mit 500 Gästen im Markgräflichen Opernhaus ihren 50. Geburtstag. 

What a wonderful celebration of our University turning 50 this year. Half a century and going stronger than ever! And ecosystem sciences were prominent in research and teaching right from the start. 👏🥳

Bayreuth Researchers Call for Holistic Ecosystem Assessment Plants adapt the growth of their roots and shoots differently in response to environmental changes. This is the outcome of a study involving the Ecological-Botanical Garden (ÖBG) at the University of Bayreuth. The researchers challenge previous assessments of climate change impacts on plants, which often extrapolate from aboveground to belowground plant structures. Their findings have been published in the journal Plant & Soil.

Donald Trump: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft wirbt um US-Spitzenforscher US-Forscher fürchten Einschränkungen ihrer Freiheit unter Trump. Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft will sich das zunutze machen. Sie spricht von einem "neuen Talentpool".

EU may be slow to react, but Max Planck certainly has their shit together 👍
