A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Rethinking policy on high mountain cascading hazards

Warming is destabilising glaciers in mountain regions, triggering cascading hazards, from glacier collapse to downstream flooding.

Climate impacts are interconnected, not isolated.

Bevor ihr mit Gartengeräten (Rasenmäher, Freischneider, Mähroboter) durch Gebüsch hobelt, immer sicher stellen dass da niemand schläft. Sonst kann leicht mal so ein süßes Füsschen absein.

Mal was anderes (und vollkommen ernst gemeint):
Wie erhaltet Ihr in diesen Zeiten beruflich, privat, wo auch immer, Eure #Resilienz?
Was sind Eure emotionalen #Escape-Rooms, Eure Wohlfühlzonen, Eure #Exitstrategien?

#Resilienz habe ich (warum auch immer) reichlich, aber die Reserven nehmen ab.

"In areas with intensive land use, negative impacts are clearly visible. For example, in small streams affected by forestry, more than 50 percent of common species have declined," Syke researcher Anna Suuronen tells Yle News.

What's happening to Finland's lakes and rivers? Urgent action needed to protect declining species, researchers say
More than half of underwater species have become rarer in some inland waters, say researchers at the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) – who lay out recommendations to reverse the trend.
