Rivers transport significantly more dissolved organic matter to the ocean than previously thought, with up to 25% of marine dissolved organic matter originating from land—1.7 to 2.5 times higher than prior estimates. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/5gcG50Xq2MJ

As a primatologist, Jane Goodall was a huge inspiration to me. I admired the way she describes chimpanzee behavior with such detail and empathy, and she’s inspired so many people and advocated for chimpanzee conservation and welfare.
However, I'm dismayed at what her narrative leaves out (1/10)

A lovely story about Dr Jane Goodall's career & legacy, from Rachel Fieldhouse & Mohana Basu, in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41.... Includes some comments from me about how researchers _can also_ be advocates and science communicators, and still be taken seriously (I hope)!
