Latest piece of Sam Ross's global takeover with #ResponseDiversity thinking just accepted @oikosjournal.bsky.social! Such a cool collaboration with @ceresbarros.bsky.social @lauradee.bsky.social @owpet.bsky.social @hannah-wht-eco.bsky.social Takehiro Sasaki & Anna LoPresti! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

You can do this right now: Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better. Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

PhD position in #SoilScience - join my research group and work together with me on the project: ‘CINCA - Climate change Impacts on Nutrient and Carbon Allocation in soils of maritime Antarctica’ at @tuberlin.bsky.social #biocrust #POM #MAOM #Antarctica #SOC stellenticket.tu-berlin.de/en/job-offer...

The next online installment of ESTIMATE: The Reduced Form is coming on Dec 11-12. I've continued to unify and expand regression-based methods to apply to exit, non-binary treatments, DDD, discrete outcomes, and more. All proceeds to the MSU economics PhD program. econ.msu.edu/academics/es...

I'm trying to organise conferences and workshops that I want to go to in 2026. Is there a decent list out there for ecology and conservation people anywhere? Everything I've come across by Googling seems to be full of predatory conferences.

POSTDOC JOB AD: I'm hiring a Bayesian ecologist to build a (IMO, extremely fun) model of humpback whale spatiotemporal dynamics in California 2-year position starting fall 2026. in-person in Santa Cruz; collab w with Mevin Hooten's lab at UT Austin. ask me Qs or apply: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF02003

Less than 1 month left to submit abstracts for what is always the *best* conference on climate change impacts on biodiversity. Intimate conference size but truly global participation; highly recommend for 1st-timers and returnees.

A heads-up for anyone interested in research quality, repeatability & transparency: I'm leading a 2-hour session at 10 am UK-time tomorrow, in conjunction with others. Hopefully this can form the basis of a guidelines paper, so we're hoping you can join online to guide us in the right direction. 🌐🌎

#statstab #433 The Table 2 Fallacy: Presenting and Interpreting Confounder and Modifier Coefficients Thoughts: Adding predictors to your model results in marked changes in inference. Be mindful! #table2 #fallacy #covariates #bias #inference #regression doi.org/10.1093/aje/...

There is time to urge a change to the current #GRFP solicitation ( #NSF 25-547 ): reverse the eligibility restrictions and ensure applicants (including 2nd year PhD students) have a fair chance in the competition. Feel free to sign and share this open petition: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

The influence of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program really cannot be overstated. The fact that there is still no solicitation for this year is unfair to students and risks damaging the future of American science. Please take 30 seconds to sign the open letter to US STEM Leadership 🧪🌎

Every nation should show up at COP30 with an ambitious plan (a Nationally Determined Contribution, or NDC) to protect human health and the health of our climate. Why? A new article by colleagues at @gchalliance.bsky.social lays it out clearly. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

New research finds increasing heat-related mortality in every climate region throughout the U.S., except for the Western North Central region. Remember folks, heat kills. @jeffgoodell.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

For the AM #Causal #Ecology crowd in the western hemisphere (or PM elsewhere), if you're into causal data analysis, check out the slack @lauradee.bsky.social and I have set up! DM me for the link to join. Already some fun conversations from some absolute rockstars! 🌍

This idea brought to you by "I'd really like to share the new piece from @dingdingpeng.the100.ci to folk not just on bluesky...and wouldn't it be cool if we could all talk about it later?"

More solid causal inference work emerging in the ecology literature, this time on a topic close to home. Looking forward to giving this one a closer read. @lauradee.bsky.social

Was so rewarding getting to work with a team of brilliant ecologists (@dudney-joan.bsky.social @lauradee.bsky.social @jebyrnes.bsky.social @katherinesiegel.bsky.social ) to think through how to use causal inference to attribute ecological changes to climate change. Hope this framework helps!

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
