New paper with many smart people, led by Nico Eisenhauer & Marie Sünemann @eisenhauerlab.bsky.social, surveying the state of literature on the effects of soil biodiversity on ecosystem functioning

www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Soil biodiversity is a key driver of ecosystem function, including nutrient cycling, organic-matter decomposition, plant productivity, climate regulation and pathogen control (with subsequent effects on animal, human and plant health). A foundational review in 2014 described the functional role of soil biodiversity in ecosystems, but our understanding of the relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has deepened over the past decade. In this Review, we highlight progress in the field, discuss the approaches and methodological advances that have enabled this progress, and identify emerging research questions. Although the spatiotemporal patterns and community dynamics of soil communities are becoming well understood, topics with important knowledge gaps include the climate feedback effects of soils, the ecology of urban soils and the development of soil health indicators. Global collaborative networks, linking existing databases, and monitoring soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are important ways to address these knowledge gaps. By considering the relationships between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning we can connect small-scale interactions among plants, microorganisms and animals to ecosystem services and planetary sustainability.

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too

If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

Immer diese implizite Annahme, dass andere Instrumente irgendwie vor politischem Opportunismus gefeit wären...

... hinsichtlich Integrationserfolgs. "Die" haben sich anzupassen und zu integrieren. So dass "wir" in unserem Alltag, unseren Abläufen möglichst wenig gestört werden.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 2d

Es regt mich immer wieder auf, wie unidirektional–passiv Integration ist diskutiert wird. Kaum Sensibilität für die Perspektive derjenigen, die sich um ihre eigene Integration bemühen, mit ihr aber auch in den verschiedensten Dimensionen strugglen. Inkl sehr einseitiger Verantwortungszuschreibung...

Die geplanten Lockerungen beim EU Emissionshandel sind aus Klimaschutzsicht schlecht. Ich sehe aber nicht, warum deswegen der Emissionshandel insgesamt gescheitert sein soll. Die Ausgestaltung war immer Ergebnis polit. Kompromisse und hat trotzdem zu signifikanten Emissionssenkungen geführt. 1/3

Geplante Lockerungen der EU: Emissionshandel hat als Klimaschutzinstrument versagt

Ökonomen schwärmten immer vom Emissionshandel als kapitalismusfreundliche Lösung für den Klimawandel. Nun ist klar: Das hat nicht funktioniert.

Totally agree (and would add the admin tasks which can be a deluge at times). I'd also add that, luckily, the workload grows over time and one adapts to it (within limits) incrementally – if you'd throw the 5-years-ago me into my current situation, he'd perish pretty quickly.

As a PhD student, I was told that "seniors" are always really busy, though I speculated, I really wasn't sure how this materialized. I'm not yet SSJ3 Senior, just like baby-senior, but one way it materializes is "Death by 1000 cuts" ⬇️

I still have much to learn I guess😉

Yeah, I realize that my hiking-affine, car-less bubble is probably not representative in that respect… Still, I am sometimes shocked how little people (can) walk and what they consider a "long" walk (or even a "hike").

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 5d

I really can't get over the Nature/Science paper structure with methods coming last… It bothers me every time.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 5d

A student complained yesterday that he had to walk for 45 minutes to attend my lecture, because of a municipal transport strike. I kind of laughed it off, because a 45-minutes walk is nothing unusual for me. But now I'm wondering how much of an outlier my attitude may be😉

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 6d

Offenbar😁 Aber warum eigentlich?

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 6d

Die Lautstärke der Studis ist bei mir meist nicht das Problem. Eher das bewusst deutlich sprechen. Und vermeiden, dass ich in meine monoton-gelangweilt wirkende Basisstimme verfalle😉

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 6d

Good point.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 6d

Ja, hatte ich auch schon überlegt (zumal ich auch das hier mal erwähnte gelangweilte-Stimme-Problem habe😉). Aber Zeit ist eine verdammt knappe Ressource, und die 4 SWS sind noch erträglich.

Sehr interessant, die komplette Absenz von Infos im CV & Wikipedia-Artikel eines sehr prominenten deutschen Ökonomen über seine Zeit (als Vertretungsprofessor, vermute ich) an meiner Alma mater. Dabei weiß ich noch genau, dass ich bei ihm, der damals Juniorprof war, monetäre Ökonomik belegt habe😁

A study on publication time focussing on differences between the gender-composition of authors.

"Sample averages show that all female-authored articles take about 9 % longer to accept [...] while female solo-authored articles take about 20 % longer to accept"

The delayed acceptance of female research in economics

Abstract
We explore gender differences in the time taken to accept empirical articles of economics research. On average, female-authored articles take 9 % longer to accept. This gender gap cannot be fully attributed to differences in author affiliation, research productivity, research quality and novelty. The gender composition of editorial boards does not affect acceptance time for female authors. Nevertheless, this gender gap narrows as female representation in an area of research deepens. We find evidence of sub-field differences in this gender gap, consistent with differences in social norms.

Is it? I keep hearing that, but as someone who has learned most of his German after my 15th birthday, whose preferred/main language German has become since and who has learned/speaks a few other languages, I would say it's actually pretty simple. Most of all, it's very regular.

I'll be filling a PhD position soon. Today I realized that it's quite likely the person I'll hire will be closer in age to my son than to me (so far, this was only the case with student assistants and interns). I guess I've become kind of old…👴

Joah... Ob man sich das aber antun will... (Ich habe das Fahrrad gleich zu Hause gelassen)
