Congrats! 🥳

This immediately brought back memories of when Tom Cruise joked about eating the placenta of his newborn daughter in 2006 (or was he?). This will be engrained forever in my brain ....

Ich finde ja am besten dass sie das 'schulmedizinische' gestrichen haben - da sahen sie wohl das größte Problem ....

It's all becuase Obama wore this tan suit ...

I have obtained a hand-written manuscript of an identification key that the great Russian carabidologist Kryzhanovsky could not publish any more before his death - written in cyrillic cursive. Google lens translates the text without probelm. I think the potnetial is huge.

And that would still be unreachable because the Tesla would burst in flames on the way ....

I immediately thought I was not reading correctly and checked the date twice ....

Has @elsevierconnect.bsky.social hit a new low? I just recieved a demanding email imforming me that my review was a negative three days late ... three days before the deadline for my review. This is honestly not ok.

I'm in good company 😊

Ich glaube vor kurzem im gleichen Zug gewesen zu sein mit selben Problem (1.92). Habe erst nach einer Stunde bemerkt dass man das graue Teil hoch schieben kann. Dann ging es.

😱

Pummeluff!

Ah, not all have different names though, e.g. Porygon ...

35 and getting annoyed when authors don't use pt 12 and double line spacing .... 😅

network showing more diverse connections over time for editors and reviewers

cover of the paper with title and authors

last paragraph of the abstract: Synthesis and applications. Our results show that editorial diversification is a practical lever for making peer review more inclusive and better aligned with the global distribution of ecological research. These changes make the publication process fairer and improve the quality and global impact of the papers published.

New paper, Great news:
We have been saying for years that making the editorial board more diverse was needed
We now show that diverse team of editors makes for more diverse reviewers
More Inclusive=Better Science
Things are getting better on this❤️

Lucky find! My grandfather heard lectures by him at LMU and keeps telling me how boring they were. He claims most other students stayed home after the first two (he financed himself by writing and copying scripts for them) ... but this may also be due to varying personal interest ...

Where does one even find such things?!? 😅

Ging das nicht schon seit Jahren in jedem vernünftigen Grafikprogramm? Bild öffnen, Pipettentool, hexcode der Farbe anzeigen lassen, online hexcode nachschauen.

Ah, you're probably fine - the predictions of bankers have never been wrong ...

I even tend to agree that it is difficult to exclude people based on their personal conduct, BUT Musk is not even a scientist. He should never have ended up there in the first place.

Have to work on my Eastern Europe 😬

At the start of the year I hit 2,000 species on @inaturalist.bsky.social and set myself the goal of adding 1,000 more this year. I finish the year with 1,600 new species recorded. Enormous thanks to the 635 identifiers who helped along the way! 🙌 #iNaturalist #Biodiversity

Das ist theoretisch sicher richtig, im Einzelfall kann man aber durchaus sehr gut und schnell bewerten was eindeutig zu weit ghet und was noch ok ist. Und wenn man eine solche rot hinterlegte Box anfügen muss ging da etwas eindeutig zu weit.

Absolut, das Einhalten von Standards ist keine Zensur. Meine Vermutung aber ist, dass der Drang die eigenen Ergebnisse zu veröffentlichen letztendlich deutlich stärker ist das der, andere zu demütigen. Daher würde ich da eigentlich keine größeren Konflikte erwarten ...

Alle Nazis haben Brötchen geschmiert!

Ich finde das nicht hinreichend. Die Redaktion dürfte keine Artikel annehmen, die nicht den Mindeststandards des normalen Gesellschaftlichen Umgangs entsprechen. Man kann Autoren auch zwingen, entwürdigende Statements zu entfernen (in Fach-Journalen ist das Standard).

It was a pleasure to serve as opponent in the PhD defence of @alfredoventuro.bsky.social at the Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU) last week. Excellent work on the long-term and off-season effects of wildflower strips on biodiversity. Well deserved — congratulations, Dr Venturo!

Introducing variables that may be meaningful but are then never used smells like chatgpt to me ....
