Dürren, Starkregen, Überschwemmungen – extreme Wetterereignisse nehmen auch in Deutschland durch den #Klimawandel zu. 🌍🌧️🔥

Der #Weltwassertag 💧 erinnert uns daran, wie entscheidend ein nachhaltiger Umgang mit #Wasser für unsere Zukunft ist.

Wie wir den Veränderungen im Wasserkreislauf begegnen können, erforschen wir 🔬 mit einem ganzheitlichen, systemischen Ansatz, wie es nur #Helmholtz kann.

Zentrale Elemente der Initiative sind drei sogenannte Reallabore 🧪: 🧵

Deutschlands #Gas speicher sind fast leer.

Doch zwischen #Blackout-Panik und Verharmlosung geht die eigentliche Frage unter: Warum wird nicht nachgefüllt?

I had the chance to speak directly with the new President of the #Helmholtz Association yesterday, and, wow...

In essence, I asked the tired question about long-term employment prospects for PhDs and Postdocs.

The answer I got was (paraphrased) "Excellent scientists get excellent jobs, so if you strive to do excellent work you will get what you need"

No honest words about our murky system of promotion, the #WissZeitVG, a self-defeating publish-or-perish culture, etc etc.

This reflects either 1) a true belief that "the cream rises to the top", and promotion in science is merit-based, or 2) a blind spot to our structural and cultural problem(s). I don't know which is worse.
