Opportunity to work with @SueSep5 on a NERC-GCRF project on the drivers and impacts of drought and peatland fires in Indonesian Borneo. Further details :

Thank you to these amazing women who also spoke for those who couldn't. What is more disturbing is how much of this happens everywhere (e.g. In South America) and is not publicly exposed. I hope this serves as a wake up call to our scientific community
As a community we need to do better so that the next generation of women scientists don’t have to go through this! buzzfeednews.com/article/nis…
Dr Sarah Cook retweeted
This is utterly shocking. Admiration for these women for speaking out. These (often known) acts need calling out by everyone to end this toxic behaviour. Listen to people, enable safe spaces for people to speak and report abuse, and act as an ally. buzzfeednews.com/article/nis…

It was a sad day when I realised that the thing that concerns me most when I'm heading out for fieldwork is not potentially venemous/dangerous animals or whatever, but men and the harassment I may have to deal with.

I'm so proud of the women who joined me in speaking out about their experiences of sexual harassment and sexual assault. So many women are survivors, and it holds women in the sciences back. #MeToo #STEMToo #WomenInSTEM @ksinacore @Tana_TropicsGal @MegCrofoot @eddyer96

I’ve withdrawn my presentation for @theAGU as a protest for the abusive fees for online attendants. I can’t finally attend in-person, so I’d have to pay $555 just to submit an (invited) presentation and watch some talks online.
Dr Sarah Cook retweeted
By the way, it was ten years ago to this day I was sexually assaulted at the @theAGU meeting in San Francisco by a @Smithsonian scientist. Institutions must finally #BelieveSurvivors so no other woman feels she has no choice but stay silent for so long again. #JustLetMeDoScience

Come join us! We're looking for a PhD student to research GHG emissions from agricultural streams.
Uppsala is a great place to live, and SLU is a fantastic place to do research.

Microplastics are ubiquitous & tackling the issues associated with this pollutant are of global concern.
@meg_geographer's new PhD project aims to learn how saltmarshes - known for amassing anthropogenic pollutants - store & interact with these plastics.

"Methane emissions from ditches or CO2 emissions from dissolved carbon were left out from this comparison as measurement results were rarely available."
7 yrs since the IPCC Wetlands Supplement and things haven't changed.

Help us to keep the University community safe.
The University expects and recommends that staff and students wear face coverings in enclosed and busy spaces.
We recommend wearing a face covering when entering, leaving and moving around the library.

ALT Here's how you can play your part. 1. Get vaccinated if you can. 2. Take an asymptomatic Covid test at least once a week. 3. Stay at home if you develop symptoms and only go out for a confirmatory test. 4. Follow hygiene procedures. 5. Wear a face covering in busy spaces and be respectful of others' choices.

as someone who spends every day looking at how pharmaceuticals interact with microbes in freshwater, it's so interesting to also read about how larger organisms are affected! spoiler: finding so much of these chemicals in ecosystems isn't good news for their inhabitants 🦐🐌🦟
My report on pharmaceuticals in freshwater was published yesterday!
Did you know that ibuprofen is found above suggested environmentally safe concentrations in 62% to 84% of the time in British rivers?

Did you know that medicines are found in our freshwaters? A new Buglife report launched yesterday finds common pharmaceuticals are widespread in British rivers. buglife.org.uk/news/medical-… 1/4

The proofed version of our new pond and ditch GHG paper in @GlobalChangeBio is now online and open access.
We meaured annual emissions from 16 waterbodies, and took single "snapshot" measurements from 160 waterbodies.
What did we find...? (1/5)
