It is a real shame that many German research institutions systematically abandon young scientists. This is not limited to the Max Planck Institutes, but is a widespread problem in German academia. 1/3

🌎 It’s time to reclaim social media. Billionaires & venture capital shouldn’t control our digital lives. #FreeOurFeeds is raising $4M to build a public-interest alternative. Chip in today to make it happen freeourfeeds.com

What's the impact of herbivores and pathogens on plant communities? That's what we investigate in our global Bug-network with many collaborators from across the world! Today we had our global meeting - what a great BugNet-spirit! Thank you all for joining!

That was fun! Creating a summary figure for a paper on pitcher plants escalated slightly when I couldn’t find what I needed and decided to draw it myself…

Absolutely delighted with blueskys decentralised design which makes it possible to follow and interact with people on other platforms like mastodon and vice versa. All you have to do is follow @ap.brid.gy and your account is bridged. That really is the future of social media! fed.brid.gy

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Our first starter pack is here! A list of members and alumni of @wslresearch.bsky.social working on biodiversity research and outreach. It will updated as more people join. Let us know if you'd like to be added. go.bsky.app/3Gzw93e

Starter pack about researchers interested in plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions! This list is by far not complete - so please help me to get it extended. Leave suggestions or self-nominations in the comments and I'll add you. go.bsky.app/4JR67t6

Surely a great talk about why biodiversity matters, and probably a great example of how to do talks about biodiversity and outreach!

I tried to build a starter pack for researchers in ecology sensu lato. Who am I missing? go.bsky.app/2MdGeqi I can add more people and spread it around.

What do #SLF researchers do in summer? For example, they are investigating #insect diversity and the interactions between #plants and living organisms. There are two videos about this on our website: slf.ch/en/news/of-p... #CERC #biodiversity #climatechange

#SLF -Wissenschaftlerin @annekempel.bsky.social und ihr Team haben im Sommer 2024 in #Davos Insektenkameras aufgestellt. Diese fotografieren automatisch die #Insekten, wenn sie sich auf dem leuchtgelben Schild befinden. Mehr dazu im Video: youtu.be/omFmS3aAu3c #CERC #Biodiversität

Absolutely thrilled that our Biotremology meets Klangkunst tour with the fantastic Chuchchepati Orchestra from last year has been released on vinyl! And I can hardly believe that @monikaeberhard.bsky.social and I were invited to write the foreword - what an honour! unitrecords.com/artists/chuc...

Very nice public lecture by @annekempel.bsky.social about Biodiversity (and why it’s important for our beer) @ the World Biodiversity Forum in Davos! Btw: the economic value that pollinators bring to humanity is equivalent to the annual revenue from beer consumption worldwide! #WBF2024
