'Beyond the beach' - we sampled dune valleys on #Sylt in the German Wadden Sea, we study soil formation and the processes that foster soil carbon storage in these coastal ecosystems #soilcarbonstorage #soilformation #bluecarbon #geomorphology @tuberlin.bsky.social @awi.de

Wadden Sea seen from the train, I’m on my way to sample soils together with Josephine Müller and Lasse Sander, studying how geomorphology and vegetation determine soil organic carbon storage in sand dune systems of the Northern Sea #Sylt

The German academic system offers a lot, but it also has considerable flaws! We all have to push for a system that ensures no one is bullied, and especially early career scientists are supported in a fair and collaborative manner! #academicchatter #scientificmisconduct www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Can Germany rein in its academic bullying problem?

Researchers and administrators are exploring ways to restructure a rigid hierarchy that can breed power abuses.
