Last week was filled with amazing discussions about our TERRA excellence cluster - including an intense planning workshop for the Diversitorium, a unique experimental platform to investigate geo-biosphere interactions in the field, greenhouse and lab.
Just wrapped up our DIVERSITORIUM advisory meeting – thanks to our guests: Scott Collins, @clausbeier.bsky.social, @panemma.bsky.social, Bernhard Schmid, @inesmulder.bsky.social, Kai-Uwe Totsche, @holgerpagel.bsky.social, Hans-Peter Piepho & Christian Poll THANKS for all your great suggestions!

Maybe we could spend 5% of GDP on saving our planet's life-support systems? Before it is too late?

Could you imagine the outcry if any terrestrial ecosystem was exploited in such a destructive manner?
I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

Starting my day at the great debate on publication practices at #EGU25, with a live audience survey showing many agreeing with impact factors as good indicators of scientific quality. Disappointing more than 10 years after DORA (panellist @sciencesigrid.bsky.social giving opening comments)
