Wow—what a fantastic group! @taiscarvalho.bsky.social joined @ufz.de as a visiting PhD student in 2022 and quickly became an essential part of the team. She has now secured a prestigious grant to launch her own research group. A rising star to watch closely! :)
Christian Klassert@christianklassert.bsky.social · last yr.Wonderful meeting all the fantastic teams at the FONA SOEF junior research group conference 2025 in Kassel! Thanks so much for the invitation. @taiscarvalho.bsky.social and I look forward to embarking on our own research group journey with "navigate" at @ufz.de soon! 🏙️💧🚜

This is genius! so creative and also important for how we communicate our science
Lukas Brunner@lukasbrunner.bsky.social · last yr.Let me very warmly recommend putting our Up-Goer Five session into your EGU25 calendar! I mean, just have a look at these amazing abstract titles (using only the 1000 most used English words). I can guarantee that this will be an extremely informative and fun session! 🤓🧑🎓 #EGU25 @egu.eu
I'm quite excited about this project! Apply until 15.04 to be part of the team :)

Was der Klimawissenschaftler Emanuele Bevacqua sagt. Wäre doch mal schön, wenn wir dazu eine Talkshow hätten, oder @zdfde.bsky.social ?
In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social

By comparing different text corpora on sustainable agriculture in Germany we found that farmers and the broader society in have very different perceptions of what sustainable agriculture is about. Check our paper here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Bartosz Bartkowski@bartoszbartk.com · last yr.Great to finally see this one published, in which Marieke, Mansi, @jsodoge.bsky.social, @mdebrito.bsky.social and I look at topics discussed in relation to sustainable agriculture in 🇩🇪 newspapers vs. ag magazines (and scientific literature as contrast). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
🚨 We’ll soon be hiring a 3-year postdoc to join our Leipzig lab on climate discourses 🌍🔍 Our Working group bridges #NLP, social science, and environmental research to explore how climate change, public discourse & political action interact. Stay tuned! @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social
Quite proud of being part of such a team :) I always felt I was a "weird" scientist, too interdisciplinary.... Until I arrived at the UFZ where that's the norm.
UFZ@ufz.de · 2y ago#UFZ is dealing with exciting and socially relevant topics... performed by excellent scientists... with a lot of enthusiasm we will show this to the reviewers who are visiting UFZ this week for Scientific Evaluation. Hello everyone from #UFZ - let's get started and have a great festival of science!
Some days left to apply!

The German Research Foundation has left X and joined Bluesky. Good to see how Bluesky is increasingly becoming the new standard for science communication.
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft@dfg.de · 2y agoHallo Bluesky! Wir sind die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. #DFG Als Selbstverwaltungsorganisation der #Wissenschaft in Deutschland fördern wir erkenntnisgeleitete #Forschung. Hier erhaltet Ihr Infos u.a. zu Förderangeboten, Ausschreibungen und Anträgen. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch!
If you don't know which session to submit your work at #EGU25, check the tool developed by @jsodoge.bsky.social Just paste your abstract and get suggestions :)
Frederik Kratzert@kratzert.bsky.social · 2y ago@danklotz.bsky.social showed me huggingface.co/spaces/jsodo... a fun little tool that lets you paste your abstract text and recommends the most fitting #EGU25 session out of the full conference program, using NLP.
1/ In 2021, Germany faced its costliest riverine floods ever: 189 lives lost & €33B in damages. Beyond these direct consequences, what about the hidden impacts? In a paper with @jsodoge.bsky.social, we used 26,000 newspaper articles to uncover them 👇 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
I’m honored to be featured as a Researcher Highlight by the @multisector.bsky.social community Thanks for recognizing my efforts to explore the socioeconomic impacts of extreme events and the innovative use of text data in climate research More details here: multisectordynamics.org/2024/11/23/r...
@jsodoge.bsky.social analyzed >70,000 EGU abstracts and found that researchers focusing only on one division miss 44% of the most relevant insights in their field. Our solution? #NLP to bridge silos Check our preprint: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...
