Delighted to share our new perspective article @JEvBio: rising evidence suggests unexpectedly robust link btw micro- and macroevolution. It challenges past views of evolution and calls for interdisciplinary research. #Evolution #EvoDevo #Paleontology 1/7 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo…

Perspective written with @pseudacris in this week's @ScienceMagazine on an exciting new paper by @AgnesHolstad et al. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper in @ScienceMagazine demonstrates that microevolutionary evolvability can predict evolutionary divergence across timescales spanning thousands to millions of years, linking evolution across these vast time intervals. Work led by @AgnesHolstad science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I am very proud! The Phenotypic Evolution Time Series (PETS) database is now online! pets.nhm.uio.no PETS is a public database containing data on phenotypic change within (fossil and contemporary) lineages. Why did we make it? A short 🧵

"Feilinformasjonens spøkelse streifer rundt i norsk energipolitikk. Det har på mystisk vis klart å holde kjernekraft på avstand fra debatten – inntil nylig", skriver @martihj og undertegnede i dagens @Aftenposten @aft_meninger. @forskningsradet @oeddep aftenposten.no/meninger/debat…

Today, we marched across #Trondheim, peacefully, but determinedly, to make our point: #TheScienceIsClear The state of #Norway has to start to listen to the science. 🧵 adressa.no/nyheter/trondh… khrono.no/forskere-arres…

We are currently heading for 3C warming. Listen to this climate professor explain what that means for our kids. (Or don’t if you don’t want nightmares)

Scientists from around the world worked on the latest IPCC report for almost a decade. But according to leaked documents, many of their recommendations were removed or altered significantly. 🧵

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

LOOK AT IT ! In Norway, environmental activists have compared the space requirements of wind turbines with those of a nuclear power plant. Impressive!

Six @SRNorway scientist-activists protested today at Vaernes Airport, Trondheim against the carbon emissions produced by the world's wealthiest. Just 1% of the global population is responsible for 50% of air travel emissions.  #BanPrivateJets #TaxFrequentsFlyers #MakePollutersPay

Is there a realistic pathway to a fossil-free world? #energytransition If you are in Trondheim this coming Saturday, please consider joining the @SRNorway climate debate at Antikvariet pub & bar in Trondheim. Pedro Crespo Del Granado and I will share our perspectives.

Our new study out today in @PNASNews, in which we show that #evolvability estimates predict phenotypic trait divergence of plant populations remarkably well. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Yesterday morning in Trondheim, two scientists were arrested and 15 scientists were banned from the city for engaging in #CivilDisobedience demanding an end to further oil exploration. They took action because they realized that the urgency of the situation is not sinking in. 1/3

Yesterday, we stood united — students, professors, researchers, colleagues, and mentors — to mourn ongoing biodiversity loss and failed international agreements and pledges. @NTNU @SRNordic @ScientistRebel1 1/3

9 members of Scientist Rebellion demonstrated inside #Trondheim airport Værnes to #BanPrivateJets and #TaxFrequentFlyers. Norway is at the top of the charts in domestic air travel emissions per capita, and near the top in international air travel. #MakeThemPay (1/3)
