New #PhD student? Wondering what to read? A good start is to find some articles published by your supervisor. Look at the reference list. The stuff they're citing is probably the stuff you should be reading. #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat #postdoc #AcademicChatter

#Report| According to @IPBES, the same human activities that drive climate change & biodiversity loss also drive pandemic risks. Preventing the latter, by providing strong economic incentives, would cost 100 times less than responding. 🌎🌍🌏 bit.ly/3kPODJp
