I am basically here to procrastinate while finishing my Ph.D. thesis...
I am studying the Arctic Ocean, Carbon Budgets, Sea Ice Biogeochemistry, and Ocean Acidification.
Grateful to live in 🇨🇦, originally from 🇩🇪.

First the #US election debacle, then the implosion of the #german parliament, now this. As if this week hasn't been frustrating enough... I hope democracy in the #EU stays strong.
Musk turns his focus to imploding the EU, now promoting one of the very few pro-russian members of the EU Parliament.

"The EEA said total net greenhouse gas emissions for 2023 decreased to 37% below 1990 levels, according to its preliminary figures." A much-needed source of some optimism with everything else going on right now. www.dw.com/en/eu-greenh...

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in the EU have shown one of the steepest drops in decades. Brussels said the data showed that tackling climate change does not need to put the brakes ...

Jup - und deswegen ist Entnazifizierung nicht Aufgaben von "denen", sondern von UNS.
An jedem Mittagstisch, zu jeder Familienfeier, am Grill und im Freibad braucht es UNS, die Gegenrede halten und ächten.
Wenn das misslingt, sind wir Schuld.
Aktuell werden eifrig LinkedIn-Accounts gelöscht und Insta-Profile auf privat gestellt aber letztlich weiß man doch, was mit den Sylt-Faschos passieren wird: gar nichts. Papa wird ein wenig schelten, dann kommt ein teurer Anwalt, der gegen den vorgeht, der die Aufnahmen anfertigte und das war's.

Good News! Canada is taking steps in the right direction and is increasing funding for grad students and postdocs.
It might be a bit late to affect my PhD, but at least the prospect of staying in Canada for a postdoc feels less like financial self-harm.
SOS, thank you for fighting this fight :)
#Budget2024 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs!

It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. #SOSBudget2024

It might not be the best shot of the event, but I am still happy and proud my phone got it. What a magnificent moment.

being able to open some screws, take out the dead battery, put in a new one and basically have a new computer in 10 minutes is one of the best feelings in the world.

I wish every device was as easy to repair as this.

Hey @iconec.bsky.social I am sure your network would be interested ☺️
Working on the potential application of an mCDR technology?

Consider submitting an abstract to our EGU session "Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal: Potential, risks, and applications"
