Occasionally people send me books they have published - mostly they are pretty average, but this one was delightful and useful. Recommended! www.amazon.com/Pocket-Guide...

Has #ChatGPT gotten worse, or have my expectations risen? Tried several go-to prompts this week and got junk. Paid subscriber here - curious if others feel it...

I♥️book reviews! (unlike paper or grant proposal reviews, I am thinking about you reviewer#2!😂) "Not a moment too soon! Wish I'd had this in grad school. This “Pocket Guide” is a gem!" Please please keep them coming!!! The more reviews we get, more the visible the book is

"This is the book we need to give every single new PhD student in our labs." I love reading comments on the book Thanks!!

se viene, se viene♥️ A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing en Español!! #PhD #Academia 🧪🗺️

Breakfast with the best of all, Gabriel Rabinovich 🇦🇷🧪🗺️! So nice to have you in Houston!!

“You don’t just write results, you tell a story” Gaby Rabinovich reminds us to write for an interdisciplinary audience, be honest about limits, and keep the big question clear Read more in A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing & Publishing! mybook.to/ScienceGuide 🧪🌐📖

Interesting…

Your book is exactly what I needed! Thank you very much for dedicating time to share many helpful advices :)

Students at UH are the best❤️

Books and more books ❤️ #PhD #academia 🧪🗺️

Wow 🥹🥹🥹

"The author’s warm, friendly tone and positivity throughout the book are especially appealing. It feels as though a supportive mentor guides you through the convoluted process of scientific publishing." #NewBookReview 🧪🌐

“A high-quality paper should embody logic, conciseness, and novelty” Start with a conceptual framework → state testable hypotheses → design/analysis follow Cut irrelevant data and avoid over-interpretation. Essay by Nianxun Xi from China More checklists in my book: mybook.to/ScienceGuide

New paper!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Global Homogenisation of Plant Communities Along Mountain Roads by Non‐Native Species

Rejected, but resubmission allowed

I just rejected a paper that had a bad mistake in the title Clearly the authors put only 25 seconds to write it (the rest of the paper also had problems) Title is what most people will read Per word, you need to expend more time in the title than on any other part of the paper! #PhD 🧪🌐

I ❤️ Book reviews!

The future is here, but it’s not evenly distributed…

For the record: science has no official language.

Catch me at the @sacnas.bsky.social #ndistem2025 conference later this month 😎 I’ll be presenting on Thursday, accepting a chapter of the year awards on behalf of @uhsacnas.bsky.social with @martin-nunez.bsky.social on Friday, and hosting a session on Saturday! Can’t wait to see y’all there 👏🏽🔥

When are you more creative? I'm waking up very early and I am working surprisingly well in this semi-awake mode There is evidence of artist being more creative using alcohol/drugs (don't do this!) There is something about creativity & having your brain working at a fraction of its potential...

Zoom meeting to brainstorm ideas with Ray Callaway, John Maron and Jaime Moyano Love it. This is why I do science ❤️

"Writing isn’t a gift—it’s a skill.” In my book, ecologist Mariano A. Rodriguez-Cabal (EIC @biolinvasions.bsky.social ) shows why writing early/often sharpens your thinking and your science. Great text! mybook.to/ScienceGuide #SciWriting #ECR

@martin-nunez.bsky.social - so sorry, I just realized I tagged the wrong Martin Nuñez! Better late than never and I can also now relay an update. I enjoyed your book, have used the chapter on AI in a lab meeting, lent out my copy to a student, and bought a copy for another student.

Hey @martinnunez.bsky.social - guess what arrived arrived today? Looking forward to reading and sharing with students!

Unexpected perk of writing a book: meeting readers to help them go from idea+data to publication If you bought the book/borrowed from your advisor, friend, library, etc please DM/email me to meet and get those ideas into papers! (may be obvious but: This is 100% free!) #PhD

How did North American and European fungi end up in Argentine forests? New research in @newphyt.bsky.social from UE @nahpo.bsky.social and @martin-nunez.bsky.social looks underground at how non-native tree species and their fungal partners have spread. Read here: buff.ly/919OOs0

Ready to go the @SACNAS meeting!! Who is coming??

eBooks are only 4% of the sales of the book Scientist do not use eBooks? I don't, but I assumed most people did:) interesting. mybook.to/ScienceGuide

New paper! I am excited about it, since it has some very cool contributions on: -Status of Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi -Definition of what is a invasive mycorhizal 🍄 -Cool picture of trees being brought from Europe in 1920! Lead by @nahpo.bsky.social! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

getting ready for this:)

I love reading new reviews❤️

Wow. 70 books on their way to an early-career researchers (ECR) workshop in Spain ✈️📚 Honored that so many see it as the “perfect gift” young researchers Thank you all🙏

💡 “As a researcher, you are an author, by necessity.” – @mrillig.bsky.social Wonderful essays in "A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing" highlights the power of establishing a writing routine. mybook.to/ScienceGuide Always be writing—because practice makes better
