Scientists are often modest creatures, but Feringa thinks a little more celebration could create more role models and increase our collective knowledge in the long run.

To map the effects of climate change, mountain hydrologist Walter Immerzeel (@mountainhydrology.bsky.social) and his team venture to remote altitudes where other scientists do not go.
