"Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia".

yle.fi/a/74-20172571

Jutussa mainitaan hakkuiden talouden ja ilmastotoimien välinen ongelma, mutta ei korkeiden hakkuumäärien haittaa luonnon monimuotoisuudelle. Jälkimmäinen unohtuu liian usein.
Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia
Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita eri puolilla Suomea. Rovaniemeläinen maanomistaja kertoo, miksi möi metsää juuri nyt.

Struggling with your PhD synopsis? ✍️ Try this - The reverse-order approach! 📚🧠

@tuulitoivonen.bsky.social and @digigeolab.bsky.social have been using the reverse-order approach to structure article-based PhD synopses — and it works!

🔗 Read the full story here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Why you should write your PhD thesis backwards
By considering the central statement of your entire PhD, you can structure your writing around it, says Tuuli Toivonen.

Olen ikäni retkeillyt Keskuspuistossa. Silti aina on ollut sama: vähänkin vieraammalla paikalla meinaa eksyä, eivätkä opasteet ole auttaneet yhtään.

Nyt juoksin pitkästä aikaa lenkin koko Keskuspuiston halki.

Ja voi että on upeat ”uudet” opasteet! Helppoa menoa! 🤩

Kiitos @hel.fi ❤️🙏

“Technology might well be the thing that pushes us over the edge. But it could also, if we play our cards right, allow us to exit our era of polycrisis. But that won’t happen on its own. The path towards better technology – tech for the 99% – can only be achieved through a politics of the 99%.“
