Ce matin nous avons perdu un très grand, Bruno Latour. Nous ferons le bilan intellectuel plus tard. Pour l’instant je pense à son immense générosité intellectuelle, à sa malice, et à tout ce que je lui dois - avec tant d’autres. Merci pour tout Bruno.

Une grande émotion en apprenant la disparition de #BrunoLatour. Je revois ses yeux pleins de malice, de joie de comprendre, riant comme un gamin de 75 ans. Au physicien déboussolé par sa Science en Action, il avait redonné l'amour des sciences réelles, qu'il adorait. Merci Bruno.

Penseur de l'écologie, de la modernité ou de la religion, Bruno Latour était un esprit humaniste et pluriel, reconnu dans le monde entier avant de l’être en France. Sa réflexion, ses écrits, continueront de nous inspirer de nouveaux rapports au monde. Reconnaissance de la Nation.

Fellow Earthlings, this just in: NASA guided DART into asteroid Dimorphos, at 14,000 mph, changing the orbit many minutes more than expected. We're celebrating here at Planetary Society because a mission like this could save the world. planetary.org/articles/nasa-…

New paper out with Mariah Mobley and Audrey Kruse. This was work they did as undergrads. When I got to Purdue I was trying to set up a model system for some game theory. But no matter what we tried we could not reproduce any results in the literature. dx.doi.org/10.1002/pld3.4…

This was a hard one to publish. Branded as "confirmatory" and "replication science". Basically a text book case in why nobody ever repeats work in ecology. I suspect we have as much of a reproducibility problem as other fields like psychology and economics.

Haven't been to my boreal site since 2019 thanks to COVID. Perhaps never again. What a loss. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

I loved my time at Scotty Creek. We've lost an important field station. Pictures in this article. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Harvest day

Well, the cat is out of the bag. I don't think the evidence supports the 'wood-wide web' view of forests. I am a skeptic. More details coming. Thx Gabriel Popkin for giving space for other voices nytimes.com/2022/11/07/sci…

So, where is #ScienceTwitter headed after Elon Musk's heap of flaming $44M and ego burns out? Mastodon? BlueSky? AoL Chat? Live Journal? MySpace? $9 verification!? The ability to share ideas, collaborate and get advice as a community is so incredibly useful. Help us jack?

Trying out #Mastadon. Find me here: ecoevo.social/web/@EcoEvoGam…

Congrats to Dr. Jessup!

Are there any faculty or international students working on a PhD (preferably in the humanities) from a Canadian university willing to chat via email with a prospective Tanzanian student about how to apply for grad school in Canada, how to get funding, etc? DM me. Please rt.
