.European Commission this is untrue. World Meteorological Organization reports that Europe is warming 2x global average, NOT 2x faster than other continents. Warming is enhanced over land, and other continents with lots of land in high latitudes (eg Asia) also experience enhanced warming Source: Met Office (1/n)

How do Arctic soils respond to environmental change? We installed geoelectrical sensors in newly deglaciated sediments in Svalbard to continuously monitor the soils. Here Mihai Cimpoiasu & our team report how temp & moisture changes propagate with depth & time onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp…

The media's failure to treat this with the unprecedented urgency it deserves is the biggest mistake in the history of humanity

A few people have asked me about this. I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to seeing what the science team publishes, though also want to caution that they are NOT suggesting that they've found signs of life on Mars. It sounds like a pretty cool rock with some really

Join us for Microbial Diversity 2025! Life changing…

Ok, let's talk about it. Everyone complains that in Italy there are no opportunities for young researchers. Then you open a 2y position well paid (by Italian standards), funded by an ERC and you barely get any application? Really?!? #AcademicChatter donatogiovannelli.com/vacancies

Are you an analytical aqueous geochemist interested in a postdoc to study biogeochemical element cycles in terrestrial polar environments ? Come join our team in Potsdam. Application deadline Jan 5th 2025 via gfz-potsdam.de/en/career/job-…

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral candidate to work with SPC Facility & Garcia-Alai Lab @EMBL Hamburg @EMBL and myself on an interdisciplinary project combining Biochemistry of #extremophile and #StructuralBiology. The position will be held at EMBL Hamburg in collaboration with myself Unina Federico II #postdoc

I know—it snuck up on us too… The application deadline for the 2025 Microbial Diversity Course Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has been extended to 10 February. If you would like to participate in a life-changing experience, please apply: mbl.edu/education/adva…
