VOCs are tricky to detect, so they’ve been underestimated in carbon models, a new review argues. 🧪 Research by @ayanezserrano.bsky.social, @rogerseco.cat, @jpreixach.bsky.social eos.org/research-spo...

Volatile Organic Compounds Have Been Underestimated in the Carbon Cycle - Eos

Better tracking of these reactive compounds is essential for understanding how the atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere interact.

Rain Carries a Hidden Chemistry From Air to Ecosystems

A storm begins above the forest as weather, but inside each falling drop is a small chemical spacecraft, carrying evidence from trees, microbes, fires, cities, aerosols, clouds, and sunlight.

Els boscos mediterranis emeten un compost associat al trànsit durant les onades de calor i la sequera

Un estudi de l’IDAEA-CSIC i el CREAF mostra que els arbres també emeten toluè, un compost orgànic volàtil, que contribueix a la formació d’ozó troposfèric, un contaminant rellevant durant l’estiu.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

The words will resonate for many scientists working in the global south/ less privileged insts...tokenism runs high...but to expect science which is also a human driven enterprise to be any different from other sectors is utopian perhaps..hope Science remains better off than other domains...

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
