Could we please denormalize giving gifts that contain alcohol to people you don't know well?! I'm not drinking alcohol by choice, but there are sober alcoholics out there...
(P.S. I'm actually in favour of denormalizing alcohol consumption in general, but that's less likely to meet with support 🤷🏻♂️)

Recently did around 30 requests to ppl who'd published very similar papers to the one I needed reviews for. 3 declines, 25 no response. Please at least decline guys it slows stuff down so much otherwise.
I'm still relatively new to this journal associate editor business, but it already sucks… I've had a paper on my desk for more than a month now:
Reviewers invited: 12
Of those…
Declined: 5

Who would have thought
🙂 Hey @bartoszbartk.com! You're leaning slightly toward the bright side. Your sentiment score is 0.01 (slightly positive). Nice to see you keeping things upbeat. Your followers probably appreciate it.

I just realized that the atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased by 70 ppm since I was born – that's about the same as the difference between my birth year's and pre-industrial levels...

“Even if fossil fuel emissions were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C and difficult even to realize the 2°C target…major changes in how food is produced [and consumed] are needed…”

Can anyone tell me what the benefit is of a reference letter vis-à-vis a list of reference persons? The time investment in a quick call is probably only minimally higher than reading the letter, the potential employer can receive much more info, and it's less hassle for applicant & reference person.
I found an interesting scientific position that I would have liked to apply for (not in academia). But they require THREE letters of reference along with the application if you are an applicant who has not yet completed their PhD, which is just crazy.

If anyone happens to know any books about the sociological consequences of the "disappearance" of Jews (through Holocaust and subsequent emigration of the remnants) on the Polish post-war society – I'll be happy about suggestions.

Interesting thoughts on the Yugoslavian socialism's experiment with a worker-controlled mode of production. Looking forward to @neubertmagnus.bsky.social 's answers to the research questions raised in the piece (while remaining sceptical 😉).

What if socialism worked? - Economic History
A common quip about socialism holds that “it works in theory but never in practice”. Magnus Neubert examines the merit of this saying by exploring how labour-managed socialism in Yugoslavia functioned...

Truly remarkable: Poland used to be a climate laggard.
Today, wind and solar are increasingly replacing coal in the Polish electricity mix with almost 30% of all electricity generated to date this year from wind and solar.
In 2000 coal provided 95% of Polish electricity.
Today it is at 51%.

Random brag: one of the biggest successes of my academic career so far has been the one (full) paragraph on my first PhD paper in Hanley/Shogren/White's Introduction to Environmental Economics.

Next week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.

We need a culture and systematic infrastructures to encourage raw data publication (not only in soil ecology).
In the context of the 🇩🇪 biodiversity assessment (Faktencheck Artenvielfalt) my soil ecology colleagues analyzed ~1250 time series datasets on var soil organisms. Only 100 (sic!) of them were derived from the literature. All the rest were unpublished datasets uncovered from desk drawers and archives.
