Eine etwas verrückte Idee mit spannenden Ergebnissen⬇️

Btw I'm still waiting for a global scenario analysis of the biomass/land we'd need for food, bioeconomy, nature conservation, energy production etc.

More questions posed in the first keynote by my UFZ colleague Daniela Thrän, demonstrating the complexity of analysing the sustainability potential of whatever bioeconomy is.

Person in front of a slide projected on the wall containing a graphical depiction of circular bioeconomy and five questions: Is the bioeconomy climate neutral? Do we have enough biomass? How to use the biomass most efficient? What kind of bioeconomy is desired? More from less?

Opening of the Bioeconomy Economics Conference by @teresevenus.bsky.social with lots of open questions about the "nature" of the bioeconomy and its potential and needs🌱🌾🌐🧪🧬

Yep. This "transactional approach" to democracy is quite in line with parts of @steffenmau.bsky.social's research on East Germany, I'd say.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 25/09/2026

… the study differentiated between "people should do something" and "government should do something" – PL wasn't an outlier in the latter. That kind of fits what @benstanley.eu and Stanley Bill called a "transactional understanding of democracy" ("you're here to serve us/to deliver for us")🤷

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 25/09/2026

I didn't have time to read the paper (saw the graph and reference in a conference keynote), but I know that climate change denialism has been substantially more common in PL than e.g. in Germany, and then there is the heavily fossil-dependent (lignite!) energy sector. And, lastly, …

Ganz nett. Sehr breit, sodass es nicht immer einfach ist, die "richtige" Session zu wählen. Es ist auf jeden Fall nice, zwischendurch kurz ins Büro flüchten zu können😉

Observation from an interdisciplinary conference: while economists follow the "one idea, one paper" credo, psychologists like to put multiple studies into one paper. And still the former publish much less (because they polish their papers to the extreme).

It was a really good talk, so I decided to listen rather than live tweet😉 But here's a summary of the key points (what I posted about below was only the first):

Ein Blick auf den "Zwischenstand" der bisher gefallenen Niederschläge im Sep. '26 als prozentualer Anteil des vieljährigen Mittels. Auffällig: Der Norden war bisher sehr nass, im Südwesten gibt es dagegen Ecken, in denen bislang praktisch noch kein Regen gefallen ist. /V

While all errors and nonsensical ideas are definitely mine, I have benefitted a lot from conceptual discussions with @franziskaappel.bsky.social and Malin Gütschow as well as from Marco Matthies's programming skills.

What is it supposed to do? Explicitly represent farms' decisions regarding arable management + participation in agri-env schemes, driven mainly by income objectives and descriptive social norms. Coupling with biophysical models to evaluate ecological outcomes at landscape level is in progress.

Some 4 years after I decided that I need my own agent-based model & more than 3 years after the first git commit (still in a diff language), my model, FAMUS v1.0.0, is up and running, and seemingly doing what it's supposed to🥳🤓🤖

Despite its agri-environment schemes, Europe’s farmland biodiversity is declining We suggest AES improvements - Spatial targeting - Co-designed, more flexible - Better advisory support - Payment by results - Larger budget - Better monitoring - New policy cycle www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Amartya Sen (just below Einstein in that figure), but I actually increasingly think that awarding this prize to individuals reflects a problematic cult of (supposed) lone genius.

My prediction is that we will never have enough CO₂ removal (CDR), so overshoot is not a thing. We will hit 1.5°C global warming by 2030, and every tonne of CO₂ we emit will make the world warmer. Where we stop is entirely up to us, but there’s no dialing down the temperature after that.

I have no idea. I grew up in the area (Zielona Góra), but I've hardly been there the last 20 plus years, and even then, we usually travelled south, not north. I think Zbąszynek is (used to be?) also some sort of junction.

Great to see this paper by my former "mentee" Mansi finally being out😊 The approach is challenging to wrap one's hand around conceptually (I've had to work on that every time she presented it😁), but it's worth the effort. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The only laureate to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories. The first Nobel Prize laureate to receive two prizes. The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Her name was Marie Skłodowska Curie and she made history.
