It was great to chat with @katarinazimmer.bsky.social for her important article on discrimination and microagressions in peer review. Without system-wide changes, we must rely on individual action - if you experience this behaviour, inform the editorial team ✏️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Call for a tenure-track position at our Department of Plant Molecular Biology in Lausanne! We are searching for promising early-career researchers in the broad field of plant-organismal interactions. Deadline: November 30, 2025 - Please re-post! career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

If your work involves Big Palaeo Data, you should be *begging* people to publish little local studies of new observational data, jfc. Without that you have absolutely bupkiss. I say this as someone with a foot in both camps:

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Are you curious about how geology shapes biodiversity patterns? Would you like to explore this topic with exciting discussions? If so, join us at the TIBS conference! We are hosting a symposium on the Co-evolution of Landscape and Life, stimulating interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations!

Human-driven extinction event not yet the "sixth mass extinction", but is very likely the largest extinction event of the last 66 million yrs. 🌏 🧪 Read about it in our new paper led by @jackhhatfield.bsky.social and Katie Davis @anthropocenebio.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Thanks to Jack for inviting me onto this project and leading us! Thinking about how we can close the conceptual gap between ancient and modern extinction rates was challenging but fun, excited to see these discussions continue 💀📊

Huge thanks to @palaeopercs.bsky.social for inviting and hosting me! If you missed my talk on Tuesday, you can now catch up via their YouTube channel 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=x19X...

Almost 10 years ago Smith and Baum's textbook introduced me to Phylogenetic Comparative Methods. We now have our own review on PCM! Come for history, traits and spicy takes! We welcome any comments/ concerns/ jokes! @tribblelab.bsky.social @crothfels.bsky.social and MRM! doi.org/10.32942/X28...

I'm hoping to take 1 MSc & 1 PhD student next year in the areas of Phylogenetic, Computational, and/or Evolutionary Paleobiology. Please reach out if you are interested in joining the @oupaleobiology.bsky.social, especially if interested in working on fossil echinoderms. Link for more info below. 🧪

Later today I’ll be presenting on methods of estimating biodiversity in deep time for PalaeoPERCS! Hope to see you there 👋
