Happy #DarwinDay!
Charles Darwin was born 217 years ago, on 12 February 1809.
In an increasingly uncertain world, his thoughts are more topical than ever.
Today we celebrated the #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience by sharing cake and coffee.
No extra work, no talks or panels about gender bias in science.
Just enjoying, for once. 💜

Today I locked my office and went to work to the meeting room, in an attempt to free some time to write. 👩💻
Surprisingly, it worked! Even though the door was open, people assumed I was busy and didn't interrupt. 💪
On the plus side, I had a great view of the garden! 🌺
Pleased to share our article in @nature.com
'Pesticide mixtures harm soil biodiversity'.
Along with Alex Pedrinho, we highlight policy implications& future research of new pub from @mvanderheijden.bsky.social group to support pesticide regulations & soil biodiversity protection
