Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:
Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?
A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.
Es wird höchste Zeit für den einzigen wahren Tankrabatt: Das 9€ Ticket. Es hat weder Ölkonzerne & Diktatoren finanziert, 1,8 Mio.T. CO2 eingespart, in 23 von 26 Städten Stau reduziert, höhere Umsätze fürs Gewerbe gebracht und 30 Mio. Menschen entlastet. Es muss wieder reaktiviert werden💪
Gerade in einem Essay über sexuelle Gewalt (Autorin Susanne Beyer) über diesen Satz gestolpert:
"Jede Frau sollte und muss die Disziplin aufbringen, keinen Generalverdacht gegenüber Männern zu schöpfen."
Ich muss gar nichts. Selbstschutz hat immer Priorität! Dieser Generalverdacht kann Leben retten
My own contribution to lace weight knitting, Stargazer Studio’s Wolf Moon pattern.
Whenever I find myself doom-scrolling, I immediately slide over to the knitting feed. It never fails.
This week is lace week on #showmeyourknits and there are some really inspiring designs!
Also, did you know knitting has a long history of civil resistance? knittingforclimate.com/knitting-as-...
That must be an exciting paper 😲

In a world where you can be anything, be kind to nature.
From climate change to disasters, our planet is under pressure, yet nature holds the key to resilience and life itself.

War and Peas comic strip Panel 1: A man and a witch walk into a dimly lit room with candles on the floor. The man says, "Aww, how romantic!" Panel 2: The man, pointing at the candles, says, "All the candles!" Panel 3: The man, pointing at a pentagram on the floor, says, "And this beautiful floor painting!" Panel 4: The man, looking slightly concerned, says, "Wait a minute." The witch, now holding a knife, looks at him with a serious expression.
Happy V-Day
ok, sorry, this is now a thread for re-posting all my dumb survey-themed valentine poems from past years on twitter
isometric pixel art: a green heart shape against, lit from the front and brightest on its top faces, made of rounded cube shapes joined seamlessly, deepest in its main section and with receding depth at the top two crests. Two beams of green light cross in front of it, dark blue background
simple pixel art of a little smiling orange cat standing and wearing an oversized heart cutout that his face is poking through, body visible below the cutout. Against a pink background. There are tiny hearts floating around the cat
reposting a couple pixel Valentine pieces for you💚
The science is clear. The stakes are real.
AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability.
We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy.

13th February 2026 marks the 29th anniversary of the Great Lego Spill, when nearly five million pieces of Lego fell into the ocean after a cargo ship laden with goods was hit by a storm.
4-panel Comic "Women in Science" by War and Peas. 1. Man in ancient clothes and wig enters the room. He says, "I've returned from my trip to the future!" 2. "Women are doing science!" 3. Another man answers, "But there's still structural inequality and sexism making it difficult for them?" 4. "YES!" "Thank God!"

📢 We’re hiring!
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at @funcagroeco.bsky.social
The position focuses on how collaborative agri-environment measures affect multiple taxa and ecosystem services.
See: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/vacancy+f...
A Milestone Worth Celebrating🎉
We are proud to congratulate our PhD student, Mie Mai Corneliussen, on successfully completing her PhD Part A exam on cable bacteria and biogeochemistry.
Well done, Mie👏
omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for

in dem Wort „Schmerz“ steckt Merz drin
Die Armen kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie, die Kranken kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie, die Alten kosten zu viel Geld sagen sie. In ihren Villen mit ihren Privatflugzeugen, bezahlt mit dem Geld, das ihre Familien seit Generationen aus der Gesellschaft saugen.
Become part of our team 👇!
Really cool project in a fantastic research environment 🤓

The fact watermelon exists implies the existence of earthmelon, firemelon, windmelon, and heartmelon
In addition to the 2 postdoc jobs posted yesterday, we’re recruiting 2 PhD students (environmental microbiology/ molecular ecology) to join us from April. The projects will map microbial populations across niches in bioelectrochemical systems relevant to biomethanation & link them to performance.
