🌍 A super El Niño is becoming a global stress test — from fisheries and food security to wildfire risk and coral reefs. Three recent Nature pieces trace the same story: impacts are accelerating, preparedness matters, and ecosystems need every bit of resilience we can build. #ElNino #ClimateChange 🌐🧪

@thilogross.bsky.social has shared with us how to tackle this and other challenges facing transdisciplinary research. Read the full interview here: hifmb.de/the-idea-beh... The call for the Human Progress project with 5 postdoc positions is open until July 20. @awi.de
Image with a quote by Prof. Thilo Gross: “Every academic discipline has a corpus of methods and picks its battles accordingly. If we encounter a problem for which we don’t have the right tools, it is easy to dismiss it as intractable, boring and not worthy of attention. This creates the biggest problem in interdisciplinary research: agreeing on what is a cool problem and what are the standards of success.”
