Hey Leute,
am 8. Juni soll das Asylrecht massiv verschärft werden. LeaveNoOneBehind hat 13 zentrale Fragen formuliert, die den Populismus und Irrsinn der geplanten Asylrechtsverschärfungen aufzeigen. Unterstützt LeaveNoOneBehind, teilt den Beitrag unter dem Hashtag #AsylrechtRetten und schreibt euren Abgeordneten, um den Druck weiter zu erhöhen. Weitere Infos und Mail senden könnt ihr ganz einfach unter https://lnob.net/asylrechtretten/.

Ich habe die letzten Nächte damit verbracht, mich durch nahezu alle 1,3 Milliarden deutschsprachige Tweets der letzten zwei Jahre zu wühlen, weil @janboehm wissen wollte, wie sich Twitter verändert hat.

@mschories und ich haben zeigen können, dass die Gruppe aus vorwiegend rechten Accounts immer lauter wird, während die meisten restlichen Gruppen schrumpfen und weniger twittern.

Wie wir das gemacht haben und die Ergebnisse findet ihr auf https://vogel.rip . #vogelrip

Falls das noch nicht reicht, werds ich nächste Woche auf der #rp23 bei meinem Vortrag #AbschiedVonTwitter weitere Einblicke geben.

#Earth-system #boundaries define a safe operating space for #humanity. Accounting for the planet’s most #vulnerable #people provides a stark warning of the work still to be done - Editorial to Johan Rockström et al. (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06083-8) in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01749-9?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_campaign=4943fc99ad-briefing-dy-20230601&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-4943fc99ad-47995444
Safe and just Earth system boundaries - Nature

We find that justice considerations constrain the integrated Earth system boundaries more than safety considerations for climate and atmospheric aerosol loading, and our assessment provides a foundation for safeguarding the global commons for all people.

There's a mental health crisis in science.

Studies that collectively surveyed tens of thousands of researchers worldwide suggest that scientists’ mental-health struggles are a direct result of a toxic research culture.

41% of respondents reported moderate to severe anxiety and 39% had moderate to severe depression.

Those levels are six times greater than in the general population.

As always, it's exacerbated for members of under-represented groups which when it comes to science is pretty much everyone who's not a white man from a high-income country: women, non-binary individuals, people of colour, those from sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) and students on low incomes...also senior researchers and scientists in different countries.

A mental-health crisis is gripping science — toxic research culture is to blame

With researchers reporting high rates of anxiety and depression, calls are growing to fundamentally change science before it’s too late.

This WE I finally read "#pollution is #colonialism" by Max Liboiron and I cannot express how grateful I am for this book.

If you are working on issues surrounding pollution and/or env sciences & technology, do yourself a favor and read it when you can.

You may not relate to every story told and may not agree with every point made (I don't), but I guarantee it will enrich your understanding and approach on how you see the world, science, and your place in it.
