When I decided to openly disclose my #ADHD 1/2 year ago, early career scientists started asking me for tips & how did I reconcile (undiagnosed) #ADHD with a science career. It’s been a long learning journey and some of it is laid out here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How I’m learning to navigate academia as someone with ADHD
Discovering how my brain works has helped me to better understand how to find equilibrium between my academic career and my well-being, says Ana Bastos.

Yes! So many of us had to go through half a lifetime coping with anxiety, burnout and depression, to finally understand there’s nothing wrong with us, we just tick a little differently and simply need the world to be (quite) more inclusive!

How long does it take for the anthropogenic effects on the land C sink to be detected, given the large year to year variability? And can we shorten the time of emergence in observations by removing the circulation-induced components?

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous.

It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe.

We urge that this plan be abandoned.

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Over the past two years, the land carbon sink appears to have weakened dramatically, driving the largest one year jump in atmospheric CO2 on record in 2024. Is this the end of the land carbon sink? I asked around for @newscientist.com.
One of Earth’s most vital carbon sinks is faltering. Can we save it?
For decades, forest, grasslands and other land ecosystems have collectively absorbed up to a third of the carbon dioxide we emit each year - but this climate buffer may be collapsing far sooner than a...
