Well, now that I have an email account I guess it is official! I am happy to announce I am joining @com_ecology 's lab at @Concordia as a Postdoctoral Fellow! Keep an eye on this space for research on dispersal, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning 🤓

Excited to have our recent @JGRBiogeo paper on animal controls of ecosystem #carboncapture featured as research spotligh in @AGU_Eos!
#scicomm
Soil, plants, atmosphere—what’s missing from carbon cycle models?
New research in @JGRBioGeo by @MatteoRiz @SchmitzLab of @YaleEnvironment & @sjleroux of @MemorialU (w/ support from @RewildingEurope & @OneEarth) says animals🪱🐘 should be included too. eos.org/research-spotlights/…

📢Hot off the press🤩Can animals shape how #ecosystem|s cycle #carbon? TL;DR: yes! Read below to find out more
Shout out to the best co-authors one can hope for @SchmitzLab & @sjleroux and to @RewildingEurope & @OneEarth for their support

In many #ecosystem|s, studies have shown that animals 🐘 are key players in the #carbon cycle♻️
But, animals are so much *rarer* than, say, plants 🌱 or microbes 🦠. So, what gives?

Welcome back UK researchers! #HorizonEurope
The UK is back in the Horizon family. A win-win for global scientific progress.
Starting from 1 January 2024, UK researchers will be able to participate in @HorizonEU, the EU’s research and innovation programme.

This 🧵 is a pretty good showcase of why we (as society & species) need historians, and the humanities, in general. To remind us not only of our better selves, but of our *smart*, insightful selves.
This is actually a fair question.
The short version is: the USA wrote the rules of the international system after WWII in ways that benefit us, including the average American.
Consequently, defending the system is good for Joe Taxpayer.
The long answer is longer! 1/

Poi ti chiedono perché non torni in Italia... /2
I dati dell’istituto statistico dell’Unione Europea pubblicati a fine ottobre mostrano la distanza che c’è fra l’#Italia e le principali economie dell’#UE su diversi parametri economici che riguardano il modo in cui l’#economia influenza direttamente la vita quotidiana delle persone.
Secondo i dati #Eurostat non solo in Italia ci sono redditi più bassi e più disuguaglianze rispetto alla media europea, ma anche un maggiore rischio di finire in povertà, più difficoltà ad arrivare alla fine del mese e una percentuale molto più alta di giovani adulti che vivono con i genitori, soprattutto rispetto a quanto avviene in Francia e Germania.

Guess a hard reject decision based on a single, lonely review is the new standard for journals 😕

One of the more interesting defenders of tenure track I’ve read so far. The ending is no less poignant than the rest of the 🧵 – at Toronto, Ontario
So I've seen a few defenses of tenure recently and as a non-tenure track academic they often seemed to me not as convincing and so I fear they won't convince the public.
So let me try my hand: tenure is necessary for the function of the university. 1/

.@lmisculin on 🔥 🔥 🔥 nel thread qui sotto 👇 grazie 🙏
Della lettera di Meloni mi colpisce soprattutto la deresponsabilizzazione. Non sono loro - Meloni compresa, da ragazza - che hanno continuato per anni a celebrare un mostro criminale. Sono gli altri che hanno voluto escluderli. Gli antifascisti. Che non riesce nemmeno a nominare.
