From the Lab to the Open Air: The Struggle of Making Sensors That Don’t Lie

In scientific papers, measuring gases in the atmosphere sounds like a straightforward task: you buy a sensor, you calibrate it, and you let it collect data. However, anyone who worked on this knows that the real atmosphere is a hostile environment for delicate electronics and precision optics. Among humidity saturating your circuits, brutal temperature swings, and the natural drift of components o ...[Read More]

Geomythology. Neotectonics and Monasticism

With today’s post, I would like to temporarily leave (geo)myths behind and enter (geo)history. I was first introduced to the following historical account by Professor Francesco Brozzetti of the University of Chieti (Italy), whose extensive knowledge of the Apennines of Central Italy extends well beyond geology. Geological Origins of Monasticism This is the brief history of how monasticism spread t ...[Read More]

Five ways to improve your interdisciplinary communication skills

Five ways to improve your interdisciplinary communication skills

Oh, but you should know that… It is a short sentence, often spoken with good intentions. Yet in interdisciplinary conversations, it can bring a discussion to a complete halt. The moment someone says, “Oh, but you should know that,” they assume that what is obvious in their  discipline must be obvious to everyone else. Hearing this phrase repeatedly in scientific discussions made me realise how muc ...[Read More]

In Spring of 2025, just as I was preparing to release the Queer Climate Justice StoryMap I had been building for two years, I received a difficult email from my lead community collaborator, an LGBTQ+ foundation, describing the devastating legal and financial situation the newly inaugurated Trump administration had put them in. We decided to set the project to private to protect the queer and trans ...[Read More]
