Few things better illustrate the mess that taxonomy and biodiversity informatics get into than the fact that we have four (four!) different “global authoritative checklists for vascular plants” doi.org/10.1111/nph.18… 1/n

I, along with 85% of #JBI AEs, am on a work stoppage as #AssociateEditor of @jbiogeography because Wiley prioritizes profit over access & journal quality, creating barriers to equity and publication - particularly for #ECRs and peers from the #GlobalSouth #BetterPublishing

THIS 👇is one of the best macroecology labs in the world!

Super nice team, really really great PI, extremely exciting research opportunities (mix of unique data & field work possible)

Just fabulous!!!!

please, please sign! Only 2 days left!

Next week I’m giving an online talk in the Funk lecture series, organised by the The International Biogeography Society Society. I’ll be talking about different animals & plants on islands, including one of Vicki Funk’s favourite groups: Asteraceae/Compositae. Open to all, join from wherever you are :)🏝️
