Lotteries used as a tiebreaker for #academic #research #funding? I love this idea! This would automatically increase diversity in funded research, reduce bias and assessor workload. Are there any downsides? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I’ve just had a holiday, and unlike many my dream holiday is being at home. One of my greatest pleasures is to work ON my home, not just in the DIY sense but on ‘home-making’, making it an increasingly pleasant place to be. To me this is also a deeply political issue. /1

How much #biodiversity is being saved from avoiding impacts? This is not an easy question to answer, but we attempt to make start in our new paper doi.org/10.1002/fee.2496 @wildbusiness @LauraSonter @DivyaNarain1 @april_reside @LuisSanchezUSP Amrei von Hase and Fabien Quétier

Loved this article in the @GuardianAus, and in particular this plot of actual and projected emissions by country or region. You can instantly see where a country's climate pledge seems feasible. theguardian.com/environment/…

A lack of long-term governance regarding #biodiversity no-net-loss policies risks failure of objectives & could distract from much needed transformative change. Read more in this insightful Perspective from Florence Damiens, Anna Backstrom & @ascelin @RMIT cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/…

Thanks for the nice commentary on our #offset paper @sophusticated. It's seems the current political climate means we're a long way from offsets resulting in transformational charge. I don't see that changing any time soon, but here's hoping for unexpectedly large charges soon.

Wanna quickly discuss this stand-out new offsetting paper by Florence Damiens, @Ascelin @LibbyJPorter - in my view one of the most important offset papers ever written. nature.com/articles/s41893-0…
