Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita eri puolilla Suomea. Rovaniemeläinen maanomistaja kertoo, miksi möi metsää juuri nyt.

"Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia".

Jutussa mainitaan hakkuiden talouden ja ilmastotoimien välinen ongelma, mutta ei korkeiden hakkuumäärien haittaa luonnon monimuotoisuudelle. Jälkimmäinen unohtuu liian usein.

YK: Venäjän iskuissa kuoli kesäkuussa enemmän ukrainalaisia siviilejä kuin kertaakaan hyökkäyssodan aikana YK:n mukaan Venäjän iskuissa kuoli kesäkuussa ainakin 232 siviiliä ja haavoittui 1343 siviiliä.

Ukrainalle ilmapuolustusjärjestelmiä nyt.

Venäjälle veret seisauttavia pakotteita nyt.

”Your application was ranked 1st of all the 43 Academy Project Funding 2025 applications reviewed in this panel. Only applications with the final rating of 5 or 6 are ranked."

Let me just say that after 25 negative (+1 positive) decisions from the Research Council of 🇫🇮, this feels damn good 🥳💰

Why you should write your PhD thesis backwards By considering the central statement of your entire PhD, you can structure your writing around it, says Tuuli Toivonen.

Struggling with your PhD synopsis? ✍️ Try this - The reverse-order approach! 📚🧠

@tuulitoivonen.bsky.social and @digigeolab.bsky.social have been using the reverse-order approach to structure article-based PhD synopses — and it works!

Olen ikäni retkeillyt Keskuspuistossa. Silti aina on ollut sama: vähänkin vieraammalla paikalla meinaa eksyä, eivätkä opasteet ole auttaneet yhtään.

Nyt juoksin pitkästä aikaa lenkin koko Keskuspuiston halki.

Ja voi että on upeat ”uudet” opasteet! Helppoa menoa! 🤩

Kiitos @hel.fi ❤️🙏

No kyllä! Olisi tärkeää, että visioita rohjettaisiin jakaa, ja myös puolueiden toimesta.

Mikä oikein on se mielikuva hyvästä tulevaisuudesta, jota kohti kilvoittelemme?

Kestävyyspaneelissa yritimme taannoin (2020) hahmotella joitain näkymiä:

Akateeminen johtajuus etenee murroksesta toiseen - pdf

Tässä tekstissä pohdiskeltiin Riku Reunamäen kanssa joitakin akateemisen uran kulkuun liittyviä juttuja, vaikkei ihan suoraa tuota mistä aloitit.

Ehkä kiinnostaa kuitenkin, jos tällaisia pohdit!

Varmaan sekä ulkoinen & sisäinen paine. Mutta jos alkuperäinen kysymyksesi pohti lehtoria vs tenure proffaa, niin lehtorin tehdessä tutkimusta ja saadessa ulkopuolista rahaa, kyse on positiivisesta ekstrasta (vau!). Proffalle suhtautuminen: Miksei enemmän tuotoksia? Mutta proffuudessa muita plussia!

Tämä tuntuu vaihtelevan paljon yliopistoittain ja ihan sopimuksenkin mukaan. Kokemusta on kaikista mainituista hommista ja ajattelen, että tenurella on huomattavasti enemmän neuvotteluvaraa kuin lehtorilla, mutta neuvotella tod. näk. täytyy/kannattaa. Monenlaista painetta on kyllä muuten enemmän.

We are stuck. Declining. And spiraling. We need a breakthrough | Amana Fontanella-Khan We live in dark, depressing and – frankly – terrifying times. Will technology push us over the edge or help us exit our many crises?

“Technology might well be the thing that pushes us over the edge. But it could also, if we play our cards right, allow us to exit our era of polycrisis. But that won’t happen on its own. The path towards better technology – tech for the 99% – can only be achieved through a politics of the 99%.“
