We show that glacial refugia and frequent openings of migration corridors may have played a substantial role human dispersal

Especially the twisted logic of “protecting women” by attacking non-binary individuals always makes me shiver. Distributed by men who literally attack women.

Bradford clean air zone saves NHS over £30,000 a month in first year After one year of the zone, which is the second largest in England, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by a quarter

“After one year of the zone, nitrogen dioxide from traffic was lower, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by 25% and those for heart problems decreased by 24%”

long story short:
- 98% of CO2 from flights
- noticeable decrease during and after (!) COVID-19
- lots of room to emit less CO2

💡 [4] How to save emissions? Most effective would be reducing intercontinental flights. However, professors fly much more than junior scientists, and many trips are shorter than 2 overnight stays. Combining short trips and limiting professorial travel activities would help, as well.

💡 [3] the main driver: flights to the USA.

💡[2] Flights create 98% of all travel-related emissions.

🧵1/ Ever thought about the carbon footprint of medical research? We analyzed travel patterns at a German University hospital from 2018 to 2023 and estimated the effect of reduction measures.
💡 [1]: Since Covid-19, researchers travel less.

yes, where should I sent it to?

Numbers and figures that speak for themselves and explain why Finland downgraded MDPI and Frontiers.

If you look at it that way, a coalition of Grüne+CDU might not be too bad after all

The book has been on my reading list due to its popularity - now I’m quite confused by these claims: tapping techniques, mantra recital, and AVOIDANCE of talking about the traumatic event to prevent re-traumatization. If that’s really the gist of it, that’s downright harmful?!

If that happens, I started to suggest more reviewers without being asked to. Sometimes that helps.

Heat stored in the Earth system: where does the energy go? Abstract. Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top of the atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth energy imbalance (EEI) is the most critical...

I don't often give hot takes, but this obsession with turning the 1.5C climate target into an annual benchmark & forgetting that global temperature is responding to only 1% of the heat that's being trapped inside the climate system every year is enough to trigger anyone's internal @andrewdessler.com

Sprachlich fantastisch, aber man muss das historische Setting kennen/googeln um mitzukommen.

Introductory course to German bureaucracy: I need a birth certificate for the mandatory registration with my professional body. To get it, I need an online account. To get this, I need an ID-App. To register, I need an online PIN. To get it, I have to PHYSICALLY visit the local citizen office.

Enjoy our current atmospheric CO₂ because we'll never see it this low again!

Interesting approach for EMA.

The warming stripes are such a great tool. Whenever I give talks, I add the stripes of the town or region I’m in. Sparks attention every time.

thanks!

Basically humanitarian work. Let’s all take a moment to thank the big publishing houses for their selfless and ceaseless production of more journals and even more special editions, so that each and everyone of us gets published.

Not to mention the ever-present imposter syndrome. “They think MY research is excellent?! Their standards must be really low.”

How about starting doing Bayesian methods - et voilà, there you have your evidence of absence!

The paper mills helping China commit scientific fraud In one Chinese research paper into prostate cancer, 50 per cent of the patients named were women – who do not have prostate glands.
