"The steepest increases in unemployment levels during Covid were experienced among minority-ethnic workers, intensifying the pre-pandemic ethnic penalty here." Read the piece in Big Issue by @traceyw_soc, Luis D. Torres, Annegreet Veeken & WBG. bigissue.com/opinion/the-co…

Honored to be nominated as Minister of Education, Culture & Science of the Netherlands. Leaving the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) with a heavy heart and earlier than planned but I’m comforted to know it’s in able hands. Looking back at a wonderful decade--the Institute will always be in my heart!

On the way to EGU2022! We are bringing a lot of work to contribute to the meeting, and in case you are interested just come on by!

I know it's Friday, I know the sun in Vienna is really nice, but my talk at #EGU22 combines two things you can't have heard enough about: pollen and traits! 14.20 room 3.16/17 :)

After 2 years online, so great to have the sTeTra group here iDiv Biodiversity Research exploring assemblage-level changes in traits through time (e.g., using BioTIME). Thanks @maadornelas, Franziska Schrodt and Inês Martins for leading this exciting group, and for all involved in person and virtually!

1/3 On the 20th of July we are organising a student away day in the School of Geography for year 10, 11 and 12 students from Black, Asian, Arab, or other marginalised backgrounds who are interested in studying geography.

🚨Still places available for this event! 🚨 Open to yr 10, 11 + 12 students who: 🌍are BAME 🌍are disabled 🌍have a learning disability 🌍neither parent has been to uni 🌍received free school meals 🌍from a military family 🌍are a refugee Travel costs are covered.

🚨EVENT POSTPONED🚨 Unfortunately due to a number of issues outside our control, we will be postponing the 'Widening Participation in Geography' event to the autumn term. Students can still register for a place for the event in autumn.

Thrilled to announce the publication of my first PhD chapter in Ecology Letters ! Using pollen records, we show the impact of the onset of agriculture on plant trait composition: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Together with my amazing supervisor team Franziska Schrodt Suzanne McGowan Dr. Maria J. Santos
