In 2023 I became the first employee to be fired for my refusal to take a plane. At a time when it's becoming clear that we are edging closer to climate breakdown,I feel more motivated than ever to do everything I can to preserve our beautiful and fragile planet. 5/
Incredibly, I just submitted a paper that has been 11 years in the making, based on my undergrad thesis! Honestly did not think this would still happen for this sweet little piece of science 🥹 As we say in German: Was lange währt wird endlich gut! Stay tuned for preprint + publication #stroop #piano

Matthias Quent@mquent.de · 12mo agoUff, was für ein manipulatives Framing. Die Kritik richtete sich gegen die Pauschalisierung in der Aussage von Merz, nicht gegen Kritik an konkreten Problemen.
