There’s still time to apply for a post-doc at Uniwersytet Jagielloński Institute of Environmental Sciences JU in the FAIRBiRDS project (funded by the EU). You would join a great team and learn some cutting edge meta-science methods. Goal? Improving data FAIRness in long-term bird monitoring. praca.bip.uj.edu.pl/documents/1458…

Also check out this great simulation work led by Szymek Drobniak {he/him} szymekdr.bsky.social - in a related paper journals.plos.org/Plosbiology/ar… showing we need more funding if we want to have sex as a biological variable mandated by NIH - PLOS Biology

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset. nature.com/articles/d4158…

So: come to see my “Drunk with power poster” at #Evol2024 (E18). Also, as always: don’t use p-vals, cultivate healthy confidence intervals, use bootstrapping and you can never have too few simulations ;) Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 Institute of Environmental Sciences JU

If you want to write better and more discoverable abstracts - look no further, we got you covered. Thanks to the whole team and the lead Patrice Pottier - it’s an important take on a rarely discussed topic.

How much do you agree with this? science.org/content/articl…

Read this thread. Mind-blowing is an understatement! Long story short: individual sacrifice through a synthetically produced quasi-gene saves the whole population of bacteria. Science-fictionesque!!

Very proud of Coralie Williams 's first #PhD paper Methods in Ecology and Evolution ! Improving reporting of statistical simulation studies for EcoEvo and beyond besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

📰Did you ever wonder why females and males are of different size in many species? We tested if sexual selection could drive the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) synthesizing the results of 77 comparative studies. #OpenAccess in Ecology Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

O wzrost budżetu #NCN o 300 mln w 2025 i konsekwentne zwiększanie finansowania Centrum zaapelowali laureaci nagród naukowych Tygodnik POLITYKA. Wcześniej wypowiedzieli się laureaci grantów #ERC, jest też petycja w tej sprawie. Podpisało ją już >3500 osób. ncn.gov.pl/aktualnosci/20…

It still is not too late to register for the SORTEE 2024 conference :) even though it’s now running. Come if you care for open eco&evo science! sortee.org/upcoming/
