How do you know if a person is #smart? You ask questions.
How do you know if a #soil is #healthy? You take measurements.
But are we taking the right #measurements?

I think we can do better.

Here you can read my proposal, an 'IQ test for soils'.

What’s yours?

1744 signatures, good progress. Can we surpass 2000 by tomorrow?

I realized only 26 EU MSs are covered:
Luxemburg is still missing.

Will you be the 1000th to sign?
Speak to your colleagues to join - write them in your/their language; and remind them that there is only one more week to go.
Scientists:
Please join on an open letter to EU policymakers calling them to reinstate the Green Deal.

Link to sign can be found therein.
Please spread the word among scientists, to obtain enough signatories asap.
Thanks!

De #EU #GreenDeal wordt uitgekleed tot #betekenisloosheid en dit moet #stoppen.

De #wetenschap is eenduidig en verenigd: de Green Deal moet met ambitie geïmplementeerd worden voor een duurzame #toekomst.

Alvast bedankt!

The #EU #GreenDeal is being degraded to meaninglessness & this needs to #stop.

Together we can make it happen. With colleagues I wrote an open letter saying that science is supporting the Green Deal and it needs to be reinstated with ambition.

Climate Change:

It's real.

It's us.

It's serious - and already dangerous.

But there are solutions.

The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

People are gonna look back in a few decades and wish for the climate we have today. 🥹
Repost this if you’re old enough to remember when they tried to convince us that “global warming stopped in 2008” (or whenever).

Earthworms (Crassiclitellata) are segmented #worms (Annelida). This understudied class of #invertebrates also includes #leeches, bristle worms (e.g. lugworms and ragworms) and pot worms (including ice worms). Annelids are represented across marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. #science
