Prof Dr Maria Nijnik

Honoured to have served in the Scientific Advisory Board of the @europeanforest for the max N of terms. The photo was taken in Oct 2022 in Barcelona. The call for new SAB EFI members will open soon. Happy to provide info or answer quests (if any).

@daria_arctic @UKRinEdinburgh I was told that it would be the dinner but apparently the hosts knew that I would be in Bonn for a series of the EFI events. I'm sure the dinner went well, wish you success & look forward to collaborate closer.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦This weekend we hosted the Aberdeen Friends of Ukraine dinner to celebrate the effort of all individuals, communities, NGOs, and businesses who supported Ukrainians in Aberdeen. We were delighted to host @UKRinEdinburgh Consul Andrii Kuslii and the Lord and Lady Provost

🎯 "For as long as it takes" is vacuous lip service when Ukrainian civilians are being killed every day by Russian attacks that the US and Germany refuse to let Ukraine stop. Putin will escalate until stopped.

The Kremlin gets roughly 1/8th of its military budget from taxes on oil and gas bought by the EU. In other words, the EU is paying for 1/8th of every bomb landing on Ukraine. Do I need to draw you a picture? I drew you a picture.

🇺🇦 Let Ukraine defend itself from Russia's genocidal attacks on its people. Let Ukraine strike back.

@TheJamesHuttonInst and @growbizscotland are holding their @Ruractive_EU Open Day on 03/09/24 from 4-7pm at the Madoch Centre, St Madoes, Perth and Kinross. Join us to develop a vision and plan for challenges rural communities are facing in North-East Scotland.

@HuttonSEGS Oh, I haven't heard of this opening...

We are looking for an enthusiast Social Scientist in Sustainable Farming Systems to help develop just pathways to #netzero for the UK #farming-food sector, and to lead research in Lough Erne, NI, in the exciting 3-year JUSTLANZ project. Open to 3 Sep! hutton.current-vacancies.com/Jobs/Advert/35…

The restrictions on strikes on the military facilities inside russia must be lifted. We have to Kill the Archer, Not the Arrow.

Looking forward to hearing from Dr. Anastasia Nijnik from @McGillSBMS on July 18!

Since the beginning of this week alone, Russia has used more than 700 guided aerial bombs, over 170 combat drones of various types, and nearly 80 missiles against Ukraine. The scale of this evil must be matched by the scale of decisions to protect lives. Each partner can make a difference and strengthen the defense against terror. Ukraine is grateful to all our friends who do just that. Together, we will overcome evil.

Scotland; what have you done? Can’t believe you’ve given up on Independence and being back in the EU. How many of the things we gained under @TheSNP will we lose?

The Hungarian heroes of 1956 are turning in their graves!

Happy of the success at the @IUFRO Congress of the @JamesHuttonInst @SEFARIscot sessions on #naturalcapital #valuation led by @HuttonSEGS & on #social & institutional #Innovation led by @UniPadova with our & @simra_eu colleagues input, each consisting of a panel & 3 subsessions

🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Since I’m not allowed to vote yet, here is my plug of the day. We made a website for the Ukrainian Hub Aberdeen! This is my first experience with websites so happy to take feedback. There are news about our school, activities & events, team & reports ukrainianhubaberdeen.co.uk

Sweden is the UK’s biggest suplier of sawn timber. Timber production in U.K. is in long term decline. Perhaps forestry should be more prominent in discussions about our future land use ?

@quine_chris @Forest_Research So sad! RIP & be remembered forever by all the colleagues and friends. Condolences to the family...

Sad loss to UK forestry with the sudden death of the eminent silviculturist, productive scientist, mentor, friend & always active @Forest_Research emeritus fellow W L (Bill) Mason. Our thoughts & prayers with his family and close friends. The distinctive cap will be much missed!
