Finally, because I now have the privilege and security to talk about it. And every time I've done so, someone reaches out, and says it helps them to know it's OK to struggle (provided you have support!).
And together, we can start to change things. 💚
#NeuroInusion #EDImatters
But I've also seen how a positive research culture and inclusive environments support people to growth and thrive as scientists and fulfilled human beings. And we all benefit from it.
Because I have seen how non-inclusive and harmful environments have pushed so many of my beloved (and brilliant) colleagues out of academia, not by choice, but because they had to protect themselves.
Because I've seen too often concerns brought by #PhD and #postdoc representatives about working environments and their well being being, only to be dismissed, or be told to "suck it up", "stop whining" or "do more sports".
Because I have been afraid of disclosing my almost permanent #anxiety, recurrent #burnouts and sporadic beginnings of #depression, due to stigma and due to fear of losing job opportunities, in such a competitive and small environment.
Because as an #AuDHD scientist (unknowingly for the most of my career) it was incredibly lonely and daunting to navigate academia without examples of more senior scientists that would acknowledge that they too had struggled, and that it is OK to struggle.
The @egubg.bsky.social Early Career Scientists team invited me to share my thoughts about #AcademicMentalHealth and what to do about the ongoing crisis. Some folks wonder: I am an Earth System scientist, why do I keep talking about mental health?

Very happy to finally share a paper that has been in my mind for a long time 🌍 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
‼️ Mary Anning Conference applications open
Mary Anning Conferences aim to promote novel and innovative research related to biogeochemical cycles in the Earth system and are named in honour of Mary Anning, an English palaeontologist and fossil collector.
Submit by 15 May

Results from @erc.europa.eu ForExD project
Developing disturbance classification models needs detailed & high quality reference datasets. But do inventory and remote-sensing based forest disturbance datasets agree on the location, extent, timing and agent of disturbances?

Check out @samupton.bsky.social paper in ACP 👇
tinyurl.com/uptonacp2026 We create a hybrid EC-based model 🌐 combined with STILT, that learns from observations of the atmospheric CO2 and improves the data-driven modelled mean and interannual variability of the global net land CO2 sink. 🌍 🌎 🌏
Using CO2 measurements, atmospheric inversion and vegetation models, and satellite data, we found that the Amazon became a net C source in 2023, releasing 0.01-0.17 billion tons of carbon, rather than absorbing it.
This accounts for 30% of the net carbon source across tropical land in 2023.
In 2023, the Amazon basin experienced unusually high temperatures and atmospheric dryness 🌡️ How this this affect the Amazon carbon sink?
Excellent work led by Santiago Botía @bgc-jena.mpg.de

Clouds affect photosynthesis: they reduce sunlight but also supply rain. So are clouds good or bad for plants? New paper shows that it depends on water availability. Clouds will shrink in the warming future. That makes vegetation decline in arid regions and increase in humid regions. rdcu.be/e3TmT
Tomorrow I'll be talking about mental health in the geosciences as part of the EGU BG ECS webinar series.
