The worst risks associated with #ClimateChange are linked to "tipping elements," parts of the climate system that could quickly and all but irreversibly enter new states. I created a website that maps these tipping elements and collects the newest research about them. www.climatetippingpoints.com

Climate Tipping Points
Explore an interactive atlas of climate tipping points and tipping elements, with continuously updated research on thresholds, consequences, uncertainty, and connections.

I'm pleased to share that my new book, Soviet Museums Between the Two World Wars: Art History on Display, has just been published. It explores how museums in the 1920s and 1930s grappled with questions of art history, education, ideology, and display, issues that continue to resonate today.

This is the unfortunate reality in German academia. Most scholars have to drop out, but usually they are not welcome in other places. If you're an international researcher (this is my case), the situation is even more tough & options for employment outside of science are very [extremely] limited.
