U scientist? Then #ChooseEurope 🇪🇺 Believe it or not, but here you can use words like "gender", "climate", and "diversity" in your project proposals ✌️

I lifted a bark and then found the smallest #millipede we have in Central Europe: Polyxenus lagurus (Polyxenida: Polyxenidae) Size is only 2-3 mm 📏 It seems to use bark beetle tunnels 🤔 #millipedes #SouthTyrol #Südtirol #AltoAdige #Pustertal #ValPusteria #Polyxenida #millepiedi #Tausendfüsser

There are still some #GoodNews out there 🥳 It is a pleasure to accept your manuscript entitled "Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline" in its current form for publication in Biological Reviews. Thanks to everyone involved! Happy Easter holidays ✌️ #AlpSoil_Lab #GMBA #AlpineSoils

When the freedom of science is threatened, it is not only the scientists who suffer, but society as a whole. When researchers are silenced, democracy erodes! This is a message to all students and scientists at risk. We stand with you. We will not stand by and watch science being attacked!

Took my new #Nikon 600mm f/6.3 PF lens out for a walk in Naturpark Karwendel — originally got it for wildlife photography, but I’m starting to see landscapes differently through it. Amazing how a new piece of gear can completely shift how I look at the world. #Photography #Nature #Outdoors

This really #Zucks 👎 I'm not a fan of WhatsApp but "need" to use it sometimes because "everyone has it" 🙄 Now they have added an AI button... Parents: "Remove it!" Spoiler: you can't 🤯 www.computing.co.uk/news/2025/ai...
