- Reposted by Daniel HeringRossella Alba, our new colleague at @hifmb.de leading the Marine Policy and Management working group, offers two fully funded PhD positions here: jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/21... apply until March 18, and feel free to make potential applicants aware. 🧪 @icbm-uol.bsky.social
- Privately, I am trying to get rid of as many of US-tech-oligarch-products as possible. Much more difficult in the professional environment, where I have limited influence. But that’s the progress in my private life (from simple to difficult):
- Pleased that our Policy Forum in Science (www.science.org/stoken/autho...) has been nominated for the Frontiers Planet Prize. As the national nomination is mainly a national issue, there is only a press release in German: www.bbaw.de/presse/press....

- Have used the holidays wisely (but enough dead wood remained in the forest).
- A bit less wind, a bit more solar than in 2024, but also in 2025 61% of the electricity generated in Germany stems from renewable sources. Strong increase over the next years to be expected, given that alone 30GW of windpower have been permitted and granted financing in recent auctions.

- I must say that I am getting tired of BlueSky. I have 2600 followers, but noone is reading the posts, there is no interaction, no discussion... I'll stay for a while, but will shift my activities to LinkedIn. (Though I profoundly dislike the showing off behaviour on that platform.)
- Auf den Friedhöfen im Westlichen Ruhrgebiet leben fast 1000 Wildpflanzenarten, mehr als 100 davon stehen auf der Roten Liste. Die Veröffentlichung von Corinne Buch et al. in Natur und Landschaft ist nun open access verfügbar. bfn.bsz-bw.de/frontdoor/de...
- It is not a representative sample, but I have been part of many appointment committees for professorial positions in Germany and neighbouring countries in the last years (more than 20, if I count correctly). The 2 procedures this year were the first with several strong applicants from the US.

- Third year in a row that the neighbours and I brew our own beer. Different receipe in 2025, targeting "Helles" instead of "Pils".

- Interview with the radio station Deutschlandfunk (in German) about the Kaijser et al. stressor paper that appeared yesterday in Nature Ecology & Evolution: www.deutschlandfunk.de/wie-stressfa...
- Led by Wim Kaijser, we published a global analysis on how five different organism groups respond to seven stressor categories. New paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution. www.nature.com/articles/s41....
- Reposted by Daniel HeringNext week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.

- Even in these most challenging times river restoration in Ukraine is ongoing: freshwaterblog.net/2025/11/04/u...
- Retreat of our working group in the new field station of Cologne University in Bienen.
- The Freshwater Blog has featured another MERLIN product describing how grants are used for restoration. Timely topic, as the future of major EU restoration grants is uncertain: LIFE+ might be cancelled, the second GAP pillar is shaking... private investments in restoration will gain relevance.

- Der/die Nutzer(in) mit dem Namen Akrotelm ist auf einer Mission: die großflächige Entwässerung der Landschaft zurückzudrehen. Es wird noch ein bisschen dauern, aber die Erkenntnis wird sich durchsetzen.
- Es gibt auch noch Lackpoliturmilch, Bitumenmilch, Farbenmilch, Wolfsmilch, Milchglas, Zementmilch und Waschmilch.
