Hello, after lurking around more than a month here and seeing the birdsite falling apart, I guess it's finally time for a proper #introduction toot!

I am a 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 #EarlyCareer #scientist, specialised in #polar #climate #science, especially interactions between #ocean and #ice, both #Arctic and #Antarctic.

Next to "pure" research, I like to do fun stuff for #SciComm, like #blogging, #SeriousGames, #SciArt, ...

I am curious to meet and interact more with the #Mastodon community!

Well Friday evening + glass of gløgg in hand I think it may be time to do some #FF magic on #mastodonDK
Let's do some #STEM first:

@icymatters is an ace #glaciologist and #Greenland specialist
@PeterHald likes blowing things up and has fascinating insights in chemistry + munitions
@mok0 is a biologist whose brilliant tool tracks #COVID19 in #Denmark
On the subject of the virus but also a lot more, @M_B_Petersen is another must #FollowFriday

Many unbalanced power relations exist in science. I've seen conflicts between PhD candidates and supervisors go wrong, a few times unfortunately. It's bad for everyone, but can be really dramatic for the PhD candidate. Heart-breaking to see.

The Dutch network of PhDs published a great document with advice for PhD candidates.

Hope it helps prevent the "next" situation. Also good for advisors to read; hopefully *your* students never feel they need it though.

Interested in a #student assistant #job at #EGU23 ? Great experience and opportunity to join a large interdisciplinary conference for the first time. Apply here:

Hello World! Here's my somewhat belated #introduction.

I'm a #climate researcher and ice sheet modeller at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research #PIK_Climate in Germany (www.pik-potsdam.de), where I'm currently pursuing my #PhD on the long-term stability behaviour & #TippingPoints of the #AntarcticIceSheet and its implications for future #SeaLevelRise.

I prefer the real world over the virtual one, but use the latter to inform myself (and sometimes others).

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:

Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.

Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.

Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.

Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.

Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.

Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.

A quick #15MinuteMap for #30DayMapChallenge - it's back to #QGreenland to show the #Network of #AWS on the #IceSheet, including #PROMICE + #GCNet (now also part of #GEUS operated Promice). White dots indicate human settlements.
