In a new study, we demonstrate biomagnification of multiple organic micropollutants from Europe's most common mammal (bank vole) to Tengmalm's owl (a specialized predator) and maternal transfer of these compounds from the owls to their eggs. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Tampons as a source of exposure to metal(loid)s sciencedirect.com/science/ar… What the hell! We need to reduce exposure to environmental contaminants not increase it! How difficult can it be to produce save sanitary products? 😡🤯🤬

I'm very honored, to say the least, to receive the @TylerPrize for our work on planetary boundaries. But, more importantly, the concept of the planetary boundaries is a collective effort. An international community of scientists has worked so hard on it for 15 years.
PIK director @jrockstrom was awarded the 2024 @TylerPrize for Environmental Achievement in a festive ceremony held in Potsdam! He received it for his advancement of the #planetaryboundary science & its importance and reach across the world - congrats👏 👉pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…

Worth celebrating, but even more important: We must take action to restore degraded habitats and landscapes to protect us from future epidemics and pandemics! BEPREP contributes with knowledge building and identification of best practices. @BioEnvHelsinki #rewilding #restoration
Wednesday's #BiodiversityDay is a reminder that we all have a role to play in protecting the biodiversity we depend on. Let’s act #ForNature together. 🌍 un.org/en/observances/biolog…
