i asked an ai to write a speech for the boss of a fossil fuel company and it turned me down on ethical grounds

If you are going to ASLO 2023 in Mallorca, and aren't sure where to submit your abstract about DOM analysis, look no further than SS111! Dr. Stacey Felgate

This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.

We have a postdoctoral stipend available in my lab for 1 year, applications welcome as long as you will have a PhD by the end of April and if your PhD is not from Uppsala University!

One thing I wish they taught more explicitly in school is the way we see the colors we do *because* they’re the brightest wavelengths emitted from our star. This understanding was a huge epiphany for me in terms of appreciating our place in the Universe. wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mob…

I gave some talks this week that seemed to go down really well, so I thought to share some key messages about climate change, last week’s IPCC report, and scientists as activists.🧵1/n

BREAKING: The meat industry lobbied to have the IPCC remove their recommendation of a plant-based diet to cut 50% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a leaked draft of an earlier report.

All I see is an awesome new way to plot my mass spectra!

I am hiring a PhD student to work on analysis of dissolved organic matter produced by fungi in terrestrial systems - read more below. Please share with graduating Masters students looking to work with aquatic carbon analysis in Sweden! uu.se/en/about-uu/jo…

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

Mandatory periodic reminder to this work of art

The majority of humanity lives within a relatively small bandwidth of latitude. This #map is one of my all time favourites. It was created by radicalcartography.net in 2008. A true classic! buff.ly/436j6Zd

One more week to to apply for this exciting interdisciplinary fully funded Postdoctoral Fellowship position at VIU! Please forward to anyone interested! The project is in collaboration with BC Cancer, UVic, and UBC. careers.viu.ca/vacancy/postdo… VIU BC Cancer University of British Columbia

Thrilled to see our new paper looking at freezing effects on DOM molecular composition published RSC Advances 👩‍🔬 🧊 🤔 A collaboration between myself & Jeff Hawkes @UU_University & Jeremy Fonvielle & Andrew Tanentzap Ecosystems and Global Change Group. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We have a new paper out in ES&T, another great collaboration with Lars Tranvik’s lab! We found that: Hydrophilic compounds degrade first, and they are difficult to extract and analyse with MS. MS is better suited to RDOM! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This graph illustrates why high-income countries need to reduce emissions much faster than lower-income countries, if the remaining carbon budget is going to be divided equitably (i.e., the area under the curve should be the same).

This week I gave a presentation about flying and offsetting in academia for the Climate Action Research Institute Swansea University. Here's a short 🧵 of the main points...

We made some CRAMs for DOM investigation! Check it out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac….
