Aquatic Ecologist by profession. But this is a private account, though I post aquatic things know and then.

Ein tolles Projekt! Freue mich, dass wir mit dem Aktionsprogramm natütlicher Klimaschutz #ANK so gute Entwicklungen mit unterstützen können! @umweltministerium.de

Ihr solltet wirklich diesen Artikel über das #Schwammwald -Projekt bei #Soest lesen. 👉 Der Kreis Soest sieht klare Bilder und baut einfach mal dutzende Kilometer Entwässerungsgräben im Arnsberger Wald 🌳🌲 zurück, um Wasser 💧 wieder in der Landschaft zu halten. Es geht, wenn man will!👌

“Was sagst Du als Gewässerexperte zu dem Wal?“ bin ich von Nachbarn & Bekannten gefragt worden. „Ich verstehe nichts von Walen.“ habe ich gesagt. (Und wenn alle, die nichts davon verstehen, den Mund gehalten hätten, wäre er vor seinem Tod nicht noch am Nasenring durch die Manege geführt worden.)

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):

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.)

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.
