Scientific journals that feel straight out of 1665, prices that could come from a MrBeast meet-and-greet, privacy as lax as Facebook, and reliability as dubious as a TikTok lifehack: it was long past time for the EU to free science—if anyone would let it.

My new print titled "Protease secreting Nannochloropsis limnetica can valorise invasive plants through circular water-use and accumulate neutral lipids" can be accessed at: https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.11.29.691304.

We demonstrate that microalgae can help circularise water-use in the LPC production process. This helps reduce fresh water consumption without affecting the yield or quality of LPC.

🚀 Our #nextGEMS overview paper is out!

After three years of intense collaboration, we’re thrilled to share a comprehensive look at what the nextGEMS project has achieved: a milestone for #ClimateModelling 🌐

For the first time ever, nextGEMS has produced multidecadal #climate simulations with kilometer-scale resolution across the ocean, land, and atmosphere, using the ICON and IFS-FESOM Earth system models. 🌍

🔹 The project unfolded over four development cycles, each releasing new configurations of ICON and IFS-FESOM.
🔹 These were rigorously evaluated at our hackathons, bringing together climate scientists, software engineers, HPC experts, and users from sectors like energy and agriculture.
🔹 By the end of the fourth cycle, we successfully ran 30-year simulations (2020–2049) at an impressive ~500 simulated days per day on the Levante supercomputer at German Climate Computing Center | DKRZ |.
🔹 Simulations reached ~5 km resolution in the ocean and ~10 km on land and in the atmosphere, offering unprecedented detail.

Furthermore, the simulations form a core building block for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin in the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. In other words, nextGEMS' work paves the way for the next generation of European climate research. 🇪🇺

@ewen I feel that there's a great deal of room for improvement in our communication with local public and governmental bodies that aren't directly funding. e.g. US Congress (ok, let's assume a functional govt). The folks who explain the importance of fundamental research without an obvious/immediately marketable product often do so poorly. The folks who lobby for big projects routinely over promise. For example, the human genome project push led statements that it'd quickly result in cures for all sorts of diseases (the time scale being the issue here). Now some of this is a reflection of the media, but a major problem is what scientists said, both to the govt, then to each other.

And it's true that graduate programs have not formally included communication as a formal training goal. Perhaps we can get some PhDs with good training/ability in communication into alternative media outlets and into elected positions to help remedy this.

@ewen I'm frustrated too that the onus is always on us, the scientists, to communicate better. I think scientists tend to communicate well with other scientists, and some scientists communicate well with the public-at-large. I totally agree that the media is a problem, a huge problem that can't be overstated!). (And not only the news media, but the entertainment media that makes scientists more likely to be driven by hubris that'll lead to some big evil that only a guy with a gun can solve. But I digress) However, the media is also not the only audience.

We can also talk directly to our communities! In general scientists don't do a great job interacting directly with their local communities and explaining what they do so people know a scientist and better understand how it works. e.g. that one never knows from where a breakthrough might come, so "knowledge for knowledge's sake" is an actual investment.

@raventhesciencemaven YAY!!! I’m so glad you’re over here! I would add some more info to your profile, including some hashtags for #SciCom and your favourite topics.

And if you want to find more folx to follow yourself, I would follow a few hashtags to start getting more content in your timeline.

This platform will tend to have fewer followers in terms of overall quantity compared to something like X, but the depth of engagement here tends to be far more robust.

@FediTips is a REALLY good resource (by a volunteer!) that you can browse or reach out to if you need any guidance too ☺️

Today I was guest on the late breakfast show on national television #ZDF „Volle Kanne“ with my new book. We talked about almost everything: the Big Bang, quantum physics, God, meteorite impacts, black holes, alien life - you name it! It was fun and they threw out some prerecorded clips so that we could have more time to chat 😉. And I had breakfast…

When it comes to Sci Show and Hank Green, a lot of people have Gell-Mann amnesia.

Previously, it was their bad video on HRT and trans people (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/nerdfighters/comments/1d7arcr/scishows_recent_video_on_hormone_replacement/ ).

Now we're doing the "Oops wrong yet again but still, trust me, for some reason!" dance with knitting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx1orbc-7MQ

Next is Olga Paris-Romaskevich, who brings to us a "Mathematical utopia in the dystopian times: Streetmath, #Math girls, and MATHEMATIKA." All three projects are amazing examples of mathematical #SciCom projects, executed by Olga, and spreading the fun of #illustratingMath.

I'm about to go sleep. But I'm asking all the the scientists out there...please...give me a word that may inspire me for future #inkyDays drawings.

Just one word. At least to start with. Just one word. You can give context, but only if it unblocks.

We are at a time when we need to connect and communicate. Let's try something new in #SciCom. Right now.
