Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

"The doubling of the energy imbalance has come as a shock, because the sophisticated climate models we use largely didn’t predict such a large and rapid change.

Typically, the models forecast less than half of the change we’re seeing in the real world"

Die #FUBerlin finanziert sich v.a. durch Landes- und Drittmittel - viele davon sind langfristig gebunden:
Gehälter, Mieten, Forschung. Die Kürzung um 37 Mio. € trifft die Uni daher schwer. Kurzfristig sparen? Kaum möglich.

In it, we bring up four main hurdles we and other women around us have faced through the early stages of our careers, and outline several (of many other) actions that we see as necessary for achieving gender equity in academia.

(Nice synthesis of our piece here: www.fu-berlin.de/en/presse/in...)

Thanks to @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social 🙏🏼

🚀Yet we also suggest a range of structural #measures for achieving more gender equity in academia:
1) Strengthen #representation and leadership opportunities
2) Restructure career #support systems
3) Foster #accountability and #allyship

❌We identify four major obstacles that disproportionately hinder women in academia:
1) Fostered intellectual insecurity
2) Exclusion from the “Boys’ Club”
3) Higher risks and additional challenges in fieldwork
4) Gendered expectations and emotional labor

Systemic sexism in academia: an early-career viewpoint Over the past years, a theme has recurrently popped up in conversation among us (the present authors): Discussions over Zoom, at conferences, on bumpy road

Just published a piece in BioScience with @mariapiquerr.bsky.social, Gabriela Fontanarrosa, and Silvia Lomáscolo on what systemic sexism looks like for us as early career researchers.

‘He stopped me from talking to male colleagues’: new research shows how domestic violence so often starts with isolation and control First came psychological abuse, then physical, then came sexual abuse.

Study (N=815) finds domestic violence starts w/ coercive control over who a partner can see, what they wear, where they can go or questioning the partner's sanity. On average, physical abuse doesn't start until after marriage or moving into together.

Men Get More Patent Credit Than Women, Even For The Same Idea A new study finds that scientific papers authored by women are cited less often in patented inventions than those by men. Here's the reason and why it matters.

400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it(114s for male authored; 98s female). www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Trying to kill a 30-year running longitudinal study is fucking arson.

All this destruction for GOLD.

Illegal gold mining in the Amazon is poisoning rivers, wildlife, and Indigenous communities.

In 2024, the price of gold rose by 44%. Many central banks are declaring their intent to stock up on gold reserves.
