Aligning global mercury mitigation with climate action - Nature Communications
The impact of mercury (Hg) mitigation on microbe-mediated greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics remains elusive. In this Perspective, the authors fill this gap by synthesizing fragmented evidence on the Hg-microbe-GHG nexus, proposing a roadmap to align Hg mitigation with climate action.

More great ideas of how to react to Trump’s not so funny “joke”. We need a some strategic planning and not reactivity.

Canada-U.S. history provides lessons on how Canada can deal with a hostile Donald Trump
Dealing with an incendiary Donald Trump requires looking back on history and a degree of strategic thought that is currently hard to find in Canada’s federal and provincial capitals.

1/8 In Frankfurt, on my way back from #COP29, reflecting. I thought I’d return with insights into negotiations, instead I learned lessons about my place in the world, and how lucky I’ve been in #academia to stay in spaces where I was known, avoiding those where I wasn’t (thanks to #remotework)
