So proud of Fran and Siri, 2 former BtwnTheFjords PhDs who published a really cool paper with experimental support of the 'stress gradient hypothesis'. Also, this paper took two PhDs 👩‍🎓 👩‍🎓 and a pregnancy 👶 before it was ready... Read the blog post here: betweenthefjords.w.uib.no/challenging-...

Congrats to former MSc student Linn Vassvik and Silje Östman on having their theses published! Very cool paper on landscape scale variation in plant reproductive success in the alpine 🏔️🌸🐝🪰📈👩🏻‍💻👩‍🎓👩‍🎓 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Coffee (with milk) and some help to see humans, and humankind in a more hopeful light. That, and a hike in this cloudy Western Norwegian summer day is what I need today.

Summer solstice is here - as a friendly reminder that we live on a wonderful planet and depend on the ecosystems it supports. For the next orbit, I urge everyone to give nature the love and care it deserves, and to take action to help protect and restore it!

Friendly reminder that we should *not* take the projected energy (or material) production (or demands) for granted! We collectively shape our future, and we have options, agency, responsibility for future generations! #climatecrisis #naturecrisis #IPCC #IPBES

From 2016: ”And even if it does meet all its targets, aviation will still have consumed 12% of the global carbon budget for 1.5C by 2050, Carbon Brief analysis shows.” www.carbonbrief.org/aviation-con...

I ettermiddag vil politikerne i Bergen få tilsendt eit opprop der vi ber, utfordrer byen vår til å ta et tydeleg politisk klimalederskap. Over 250 "bergensere" - frå akademia, næringsliv og sivilsamfunn - har signert til nå. Du kan bli den neste 👇 forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Det er kanskje på tide at politikere slutter å lage mål som skal nås (av noen andre) en gang i fremtiden, og heller begynner å gjøre noe nå. www.nrk.no/klima/ny-rap...

Ny rapport: 90 prosent av oppvarmingen i 2023 var menneskeskaptwww.nrk.no Naturlige årsaker sto for under 10 prosent av den globale oppvarmingen i fjor, ifølge ny forskning. Samtidig går oppvarmingen av planeten stadig raskere.

Gratulerer med dagen! 🇳🇴🏔️🫐❤️

#FieldSeason coming up! This is your periodic reminder that Aud Halbritter and the #ClimMani team put together this useful resource on how & why to use standardised #field & #lab methods for #terrestrial #ClimateChange and #GlobalChange #ecology! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The handbook for standardized field and laboratory measurements in terrestrial climate change experiments and observational studies (ClimEx)besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com <em>Methods in Ecology and Evolution</em> is an open access journal publishing papers across a wide range of subdisciplines, disseminating new methods in ecology and evolution.

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

Women end up doing the academic houseworkkifinfo.no

Happy March8th, everyone! Let’s use it to value, and fight for, what is dear to us - nature, knowledge, rationality, openness, a more equitable world and basic human rights for all! #Womensday #Kvinnedagen #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

In the @BtwnTheFjords @UiB we are rather serious about science communications - for a variety of reasons. But it requires effort and training - @RagnhildGya shows how it’s done! twitter.com/vvandvik/sta...

Folk flest verden over ønsker faktisk klimahandling. Dessverre tror vi (og politikerne våre) at vi er et mindretall. Det er et problem, fordi det hindrer effektiv og populær klimahandling. www.morgenbladet.no/aktuelt/fors...

Idag overleverer vi #NOU om #Naturrisiko til klima- og miljøministeren. Viktig innsikt i hvordan norske næringer, sektorer, og samfunn eksponeres for #risiko pga #naturtap. Ikke minst gir vi råd om hvordan norske aktører og samfunn kan håndtere denne risikoen. www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/n...

Ok, I’ll give this a go… I miss ‘old’ twitter and my eclectic feed of all things plant, nature, ecology, global change, science, science-policy, world news, alongside norsk politikk, naturforvaltning, samfunnsliv, formidling … and ppl who make the world better. Let’s see if it can reemerge here…
