Getting to see #salmon start their journey upstream in #Alaska was so special. It definitely doesn't look easy. I have so much respect for these animals.

Is science twitter dare I say making a comeback??? What the hell is going on...

I don't think I'll ever get tired of these beautiful creeks in #Alaska. Just wait til I post the video of this creek with the salmon starting their upstream journeys!

Do livestock *necessarily* cause conflicts with wildlife? Political Ecology of Environmental Conflict and I showed that this is not the case in #MaasaiMara. Rather, the conflict framing is rooted in & perpetuates sociopolitical #inequality. Out today in PNAS PNASNews U-M SEAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

My latest paper with AhlersAdam Mason Fidino, PhD Ty Werdel Travis Gallo just got published. Check it out here: Mesopredators have differing influences on prey habitat use and diel activity in a multipredator landscape - Ecosphere esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

A streamlined submission process makes it easier for us to share all of our findings! I'm excited about how Stacks Journal is moving peer review forward. Take a look!

The big publishers are being sued because of their monopoly over scholarly publishing 👀 I'll be curious to see how this one shakes out! lieffcabraser.com/antitrust/acad…

***New paper alert*** White-tailed #deer are expanding through the #boreal forest with substantial negative consequences. Why? A recent paper stressed this is primarily #climate driven, but our re-analysis suggests it's 50/50 habitat/climate. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

Urgency is a false construct of capitalism.

What happened in the very first peer review? The reviewers gave conflicting feedback. No surprise there! So why are we still stuck with the same burdensome process hundreds of years later? Find out at this free webinar I'm hosting for #PeerReviewWeek. Register ⤵️

Reviewers should be able to communicate with each other (double-blind) so that it’s not up the authors to remedy diverging opinions. See what this looks like with Stacks Journal

What word best describes your last experience with peer review? #PeerReviewWeek is next week!

Do you know what year our modern peer review system started? You might be shocked to learn what I found. #PeerReviewWeek PeerReviewWeek

30% of scientists believe peer review needs a complete overhaul, and in a poll here on X, more than half said it was burdensome (and only one person said it was trustworthy). How much science is being left behind?
