You can tell a lot about a project by its filenames… and final_reallyFINAL.xlsx tells us everything 😅
Instead: Use clear, consistent names with version numbers
Your future self will thank you

First day in my new position 🎉 Excited to join the economic geography group at @giubresearch.bsky.social as a postdoctoral researcher. Moving from political ecology to political economy, in the next years I will focus on the role of the state in the geoeconomy and industry policy.

🌳 One large tree = a living ecosystem.
Field studies show isolated trees in grasslands can host >300 insect species, store up to 5 tons of carbon, cool the soil by 2–5 °C, and boost nearby plant diversity by up to 80 %.
Protecting these “island trees”= protecting biodiversity.🌏
