Apart from everything else, the election results in Hungary are great news for science as well. I hope - with structural changes in place - all Hungarian scientists will again have access to EU research funding and cooperation! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I published my very first international scientific article in Environment and History! In it, I examine the contested history of the Ecological Indian trope and its entanglements with the genealogy of Indigenous knowledges, the topic of my PhD. Read an excerpt here: #envhist

Incredibly proud of this recognition by my peers. Finalist for the biennial St. Andrew's book award from the ESEH and RCC, both communities that matter deeply to me.

Consider sending some funds to this rad crew of #envhist scholars doing good work.

Fresh off the press! Our perspective in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com discusses the wealth of information on biodiversity contained in historical sources, and its integration for long-term ecological knowledge and biodiversity conservation. A thread on the paper and what led to it: rdcu.be/eEcIt

Although heavily Anglo-American in focus, there is a lot I can relate to concerning #envhist in this roundtable paper, especially the bits about interdisciplinary cooperation.

I'm delighted that @royalhistsoc.org has published our roundtable article on 'The Future of (Environmental) History'. This came out of a workshop in April 2023 with @northernenvhistory.bsky.social I've summarised our paper (link to OA article) in a blog 👇 blog.royalhistsoc.org/2025/07/27/f...

My letter ‘‘Awkward wording. Rephrase’’: linguistic injustice in ecological journals, published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social, has 100 citations in GS I received dozens of messages from all over the world sharing linguistic injustice experiences. Nice sense of group www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Hiking through Rychlebské hory (=Góry Złote, Reichensteiner Gebirge, you choose), I was suprised (and impressed) to find that many (though by far not all) kilometres of the boundary between 🇵🇱 and 🇨🇿 are marked by a drystone wall. Will check the literature to find out more!
