  1. #Introduction

    Hello fediverse,

    I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at #CNRS and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

    For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

    In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasmas physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

    I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

    I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

    While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

    I may still post the occasional #Birdphotography and #NaturePhotography of #LariegeCestMoche here to pimp this new TL though 😎

    RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

    Ken Bugul, Mariétou Mbaye Biléoma à l’Etat civil, est une figure majeure de la littérature africaine francophone et mondiale. Née en 1947 au Sénégal, elle est particulièrement connue pour sa trilogie autobiographique : Le Baobab Fou (1982), Cendres et Braises (1994) et Riwan ou le chemin de sable (1999) récompensé par le Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. Son œuvre est riche de huit autres fictions romanesques, publiées entre 2000 et 2022, qui ont retenu l’attention de la critique.

  10. Durch die Modellierung verschiedener Anpflanzungsstrategien und Baumartenmischungen bieten Forschende in einer neuen Studie Erkenntnisse für die nachhaltige #Waldbewirtschaftung, die #Wiederaufforstung und die Abschwächung des Klimawandels. Die Studie (von #iDiv, #unileipzig, #unijena und #CNRS) zeigt, wie die räumliche Anordnung von #Baumarten die Funktion und Produktivität von Waldökosystemen optimieren kann. uni-leipzig.de/newsdetail/arti

  16. "Comment les antivax complotistes sont devenus climatosceptiques" #BonPote
    "Et si les antivax complotistes avaient trouvé un nouveau moyen d’exister? Depuis un an, nous assistons à une intensification des messages climatosceptiques en ligne, et plus particulièrement en France depuis juillet 2022. Si être antivax ne paye plus politiquement, il faut alors trouver une nouvelle posture antisystème: être climatosceptique. Des antivax complotistes aux figures de l’alt-right, [le #CNRS démontre] grâce à l’analyse de plus de 200000 tweets comment la #désinformation sur le #climat s’est intensifiée. L’important ? Etre antisystème. Faire croire à un complot. Ce n’est plus Big Pharma, ni l’Ukraine, ni la crise en Guadeloupe, mais “une attaque de vos libertés”, le “nouvel ordre mondial” qui impose “la théorie fumeuse du réchauffement climatique”."

  17. Bonjour #astrodon, voici mon #introductionfr 👋

    Je suis #astrophysicien, chercheur à l’Institut de Planétologie et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble (#CNRS et Université Grenoble-Alpes). Je travaille sur la formation des #étoiles et des #planètes, en particulier sur l’évolution du gaz et des poussières dans les #proto-étoiles et les #disques proto-planétaires. J’observe avec #ALMA et #NOEMA et développe des modèles et outils d’analyse, avec une attention à la #reproductibilité et la science #ouverte.

  18. The #Fediscience #mastodon instance kindly asks for an #introduction. Here it is:

    I am an evolutionary biologist at #IDEEV (#CNRS #UniversiteParisSaclay, France). Wide interests in #Evolution, including #PopGen, #QuantitativeGenetics, #SystemsBiology, and #Genome evolution (in particular, #TransposableElements). Mostly #Theory and #DataAnalysis.

    I am part of the recent #twitterMigration of #Academia, and very happy to find so many people #ESEBFolks here!
