Thanks to everybody who supported me during data gathering and writing of the manuscript (@IngoldKarin @KammererMarlene @IPWunibern @EawagResearch @pego_group and many more). Also, a big thank you to the Editor and the two anonymous reviewers who gave great advice! Happy Monday!

Paper writing during a pandemic, stuck in the home office, with little face-to-face exchange is challenging. This paper has been produced under said circumstances and I am really happy to share it with you 🧵: https://t.co/C9quPJuaSS

The results suggest that state intervention to prevent pesticide🌱🪳🍄 risks has great potential, but preferences vary across stakeholder levels and types, as well as across different policy instruments. Coordination and open dialogue about alternatives are key in this context.

Two down, one to go: I am excited that the second paper "Participatory knowledge integration to promote safe pesticide use in Uganda" of my PhD is now available online https://t.co/iinABCWaxI 🧵 1/5

[Ruth Wiedemann @RuthWiedemann]

Co-produced knowledge unveils aspects of smallholder pesticide management that are not covered in present academic literature. Taking a participatory approach helps understanding wicked problems and even more, it supports the design of targeted interventions and policies. 🧵 4/5

Great news!
The critically endangered mountain gorilla population is increasing! 👏🏼 However, these magnificent creatures still face threats such as snare traps, climate change, infrastructure development and diseases. https://t.co/mV5GtghUUW

Wer in Ruanda Plastiktüten schmuggelt, dem drohen bis zu zwölf Monate Haft. Ja, wir reden von Plastiktüten! Könnte das Land in Ostafrika ein Vorbild für #Plastik-Verbote auch in Europa sein? https://t.co/s1IYz1ucSs

Im katholischen Irland ist der #Schwangerschaftsabbruch per Verfassung verboten. Das soll sich jetzt ändern – auch weil viele Irinnen und Iren der Kirche nicht mehr vertrauen. https://t.co/tKJaxGtUOz

Valentine's Day is coming and we might consider alternative gestures to roses, tulips or other flowers. The flower business blooming, not only in Kenya, but also in other East-African countries, but at which costs? https://t.co/Rg4PIUN4CL
