Can global archives of fine-grained marine sediments be “resurrected” for biomarker analysis? The answer is (mostly) yes! Read more here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... Congratulations to @joehingley.bsky.social for publishing his first PhD manuscript - great work!

Evaluating the Reliability of Grain‐Size Sorting for Organic Biomarker Analysis

We investigate the potential of using grain-size sorted marine sediments for biomarker analysis GDGT distributions are consistent regardless of grain-size sorting, and fine-grained sediment fract...

Spotted this unusual vessel at NOCS today - these are new fuel-efficient, onshore-controlled vessels that will eventually be capable of working with no personnel offshore (!) whilst also consuming solely renewable fuel such as ammonia.

Really pleased to see "The agricultural plastic paradox: Feeding more, harming more?" led by Kai Wang at CAU published. We contextuliase negative tradeoffs of agricultural plastic use with the societial benefits delivered, showing the need for "zero-leakage" rather than "zero-use".

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving

More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

So, about one year ago on 1 March 2024 I had my first day as full tenured professor at University of Hohenheim (Germany). I want share some (random) thoughts on the first year, how it was to arrive somewhere. What worked, what didn't. What suprised me, what brought me joy and what didn't. (1/x)
