❗️The undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam is not only one of the biggest ecological and humanitarian disasters in the east of Europe that led to the flooding of vast territories and many settlements, but is in fact the biggest crime against food security in the world.

The Kakhov reservoir was the heart of one of the largest irrigation systems in Europe. It was the southern regions of Ukraine that supplied the countries of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe with wheat, corn, sunflower and sunflower oil, soybeans and soybean meal.

We call on everyone who cares about the fate of our planet and the environment, who declares their status as environmentalists and defines nature protection activities as their goals — to take all possible measures in order to record these violations, bring the culprits to justice, and make it impossible to commit such barbarism in the future.

The world and our planet will face catastrophic consequences if you choose inaction!

It also seems to be more rigid when it comes to codes debugging and I was not able to make any use of that while I've been (ab)using chatgpt for python for weeks.
Google certainly rushed with it and the aggressive marketing seems especially bad given the performance...

I might be late with this, but please don't use #BardAI for your research, at least not just yet. After playing with it for hours I can conclude that all papers it suggested for me were totally made up and if you call the Bard up on that it actually admits it

Our second paper is available online 🎉
Here we describe soil #phosphorus turnover in soils under different P management and discuss how application of #dairy waste changes mechanism of available P build up/release

@entomologyabby @PhDVoice Better by research if you can. I did taught and MRes before starting a PhD. MRes is very different from taught courses and will give you a good opportunity to see how academia works and whether or not you want to spend 3+ year working on your degree

[Olha Khomenko💙💛 @Reflow_ESR9]

That's me finally getting some good news on my submitted paper

[Olha Khomenko💙💛 @Reflow_ESR9]

@DJGould94 Yes but with this sort of energy

[Olha Khomenko💙💛 @Reflow_ESR9]

@EmilyH_SoilSci It was a great talk Emily! I really enjoyed it

@Shubham_Neuro @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @PhDfriendSana In introduction to my Msc thesis I left in caps "Olha, check how to spell this Conference location". My external examiner happened to be from that location. On my viva he spelled PORTSMOUTH out for me and we had a good laugh, but the embarrassment is still haunting me

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

Stop blaming the public for their lack of engagement in soil science - it ISN’T boring & it is not too difficult for them to understand!

We need to communicate better - use stories, get people feeling the soil, showing rather than telling, says @k_oron.

@ArchaeologyDon @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I think the question here is holiday compensation. In many (especially corporate) jobs you get payment regardless whether you take or not holidays. But if you chose not to take holidays you must be compensated for those days on top of your normal rate

@ashish_a_malik And 14k is the difference. If your bursary covers home fees (4-5k) you still need to pay 13-14k on top of that.
Also to get tier4 visa you need to have few more thousands available on your account or to have a proof your bursary is over specific threshold too

[Olha Khomenko💙💛 @Reflow_ESR9]

@ashish_a_malik Don't forget non UK students pay twice higher (or even more) tuition fees. For me that was the reason to move after my masters, I could manage 2-3k NHS contribution, but not 14k annual tuition fees
