Hi Blueskye! I’m not new but spending more time here now. My research focusses on how ecosystems respond to #climatechange and the consequences for their functioning, focussing on the role of plant-microbe interactions and C cycling.
This is me taking soil cores in ancient Estonian grassland!

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

We find that evolutionary response to land use change can be masked in the field by phenotypic plasticity, revealing hidden adaptation to global change👇️

AI is not a peer, so it can’t do peer review
If we still believe that science is a vocation grounded in argument, curiosity and care, we can’t delegate judgement to machines, says Akhil Bhardwaj

This will come as no surprise to any women in academia
Here’s what they found:
Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.
Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

When it rains, it now rains more.
For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall.
And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

De meeste klimaatwinst halen we niet door de koolstofopslag in landbouwbodems te vergroten, maar door minder land te gebruiken voor voedselproductie, waardoor er meer ruimte is voor ecosystemen die veel meer koolstof opslaan (en meer biodiversiteit huisvesten).
