Books of 2025 list now updated with one of best non-fiction books I've ever read: Eve by @catbohannon

Seriously, go + read as both a treat to yourself + an act of resistance against all the bad stuff going on #WomenInSTEM

Canada is not putting up with it. I hope Ursula is taking notes, because we're probably next.

The t-shirts I ordered from @KyivIndependent arrived on Monday and by Friday had "magically" flown to my kids' cupboards, guess I'll be putting in another order then.

TBF, the designs are gorgeous.

Webinar on polar #geoengineering and why it's such a stupid idea...

The paper it's based on is available here. But the key points basically say it all.

Mind you, 7 euros for a 100g bar so at least I'm not going to be buying it too often...

This time they've really done it. The Belgians, I mean. Their latest contribution to global gourmet culture is going to go down in history.

Fantastic #vegan chocolate that does not taste like vegan chocolate and is also not mouth puckeringly bitter.

Bravo #Leonidas

Just when you thought the revolting #mink farms (with billions of taxpayer money in "compensation" for mink destroyed during COVID) couldn't get worse, it now appears some are also laundering drugs money...

Stand up to the bullies, or they will just keep coming back.

It's a form of blackmail or, if you like, Danegeld.

Europe and Denmark should learn from Panama and Mexico...

The @H2020PROTECT project is now having it's final annual meeting. We have been working on this #Horizon 2020 project for 4.5 years, and there are some key recommendations in this policy briefing. It's worth reading the whole thing. #Cryosphere #IceSheets #SeaLevelRise

A good first evening catching up with old friends at the @H2020PROTECT annual meeting. These in-person gatherings are so important. I have so far reactivated an old collaboration, shared some new insights on some datasets produced together and started discussing a new project. Not to mention discussed how we as a community respond to outside pressure and a common pathway for model intercomparisons.

And the official meeting hasn't even started yet!

I find these kind of scientific meetings incredibly stimulating but also quite tiring. Lots of discussions but incredibly exciting to work with such clever people ...

Always understated, what could be more innocent and inoffensive than 4 Nordic prime ministers having dinner together?

Even then, cars were a menace.
