“Why Are We Funding This?” Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Why government funding of basic research is essential to scientific progress🧪:

To remember William Bond, you could listen to his powerful talk on behalf of grasses! It is a seminal lesson in savanna ecology. Personally, I also find it nice to hear his voice.

What an honor! Thanks to the many group members and project collaborators!!! 🧪 @icos-ri.eu @fluxnet.bsky.social @jena-experiment.bsky.social

Thanks to all who worked with me in the last decades, across the globe!!! This honor also goes to you!!! 🧪

What a shame! What a disaster for those having been funded for their PhD or postdoc!!🧪

thanks for showing the rich history of @noaa.gov 🧪 Keep it up and running!!!!

if you are interested to combine remote sensing with fluxes, have a look at our open postdoc position jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP... 😉🧪🧪

Doctoral student in ecosystem COS exchange

Interested to work on a less-studied greenhouse gas, namely COS exchange of a forest with the atmosphere? We have an open 4-yr PhD position in our international group. at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. 🧪 More details here: 🧪

🧪a great paper indeed ... on a sad topic ....

🧪🧪any news on slashing the station and NOAA at large? How can the international science community help? Even when this is only one of many open issues. @fluxnet.bsky.social @icos-ri.eu @co2earth.bsky.social @eth-eaps.bsky.social @usyseth.bsky.social

Tearing down federal funding in so many areas of science in the USA will have long-lasting effects. Read a great article linked below🧪

Good bye Twitter! 😥
HELLO BLUESKY!!! 😀

welcome!

🧪 you can never please everybody...., we learned it the hard way. But why - over decades - do we hear the same dumb statements?? Hope my daughter does not need to agree to such posts in the coming years...

🧪Congrats to great results on biodiv and restoration!

any reasons given for this back and forth? 🧪

Australopithecus at Sterkfontein did not consume substantial mammalian meat 🏺🧪

This study finds that Australopithecus at Sterkfontein did not engage in regular mammalian meat consumption.

This gives me such hope for biodiversity conservation, mammals and future mammalogists! Go young people!! 🧪

🧪 Just spotted new research from @cgiar.org that is very relevant to @EIT Food's Mission: Reducing risk for a fair and resilient food system. Might be of interest to contacts working in #Policy, #FoodSecutity or addressing #Inequailities. on.cgiar.org/4am96jg

Open letter: There are more than just trees and forests to be conserved and restored Click on the article title to read more.

🧪 Restoration of terrestrial ecosystems is a good thing. However, there are a couple of aspects to urgently consider. Here an open letter about such topics: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🧪 Still looking for PhD candidates interested in water fluxes over grasslands and croplands 😉

I thought you should know that in 2024 New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, California, and Maryland have all enacted legislation that bans book bans & censorship in both, school and public libraries, and protects librarians.
