Super fun collaboration with the Sussex team!

Just a little fun for a Sat morning. @arc_gov_au funding vs fossil fuel company tax concessions in 2022-23. Big thanks to the awesome @ARC_Tracker for all that you do. Please do something to fix this @ausgov. Sources: australiainstitute.org.au/report/fossi... www.arc.gov.au/about/our-or...

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter. Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪 www.southernfriedscience.com/bluesky-is-n...

This US study by @wytham88.bsky.social & co👇 should apply equally well to ARC grants. It's precisely why having grant outcomes scheduled well in advance matters so much, esp. for ECRs. Jason Clare: You helped achieve that, but it should be legislated in new ARC act, too.

Dear new bluesky friends, I run a feed that collects invertebrate related posts. All you have to do is include #Invertebrate, #Invert or #虫 in your post to show up in the feed. Share your invertebrate photos, art, facts and everything else! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Are you a student in animal behaviour looking for funding? We have created a list of grants for you! Our microgrants go some way to supporting you personally and we hope that this list helps you to find the rest of what you need: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Our paper is now out in Science! Led by Jeremy Chan, we find that atmospheric pollutants negatively impact plant-pollinator interactions. A fantastic collaboration with Joel Thornton and others. www.science.org/content/arti...

Paper for recolorize, my R package for color segmentation, is out! Featuring a couple of new examples. Special shoutout to @svbelleghem.bsky.social, who lit a candle when we submitted it and also was just the most helpful coauthor you could hope for. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Oh wow this is actually super facinating! 'Footage reveals that moths turned their backs to artificial lights, playing havoc with their flight paths... artificial lighting may not draw flying insects out of the darkness but simply trap those that fly past.' 🧪 www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

This fall, we will again be running the renowned Sensory Ecology postgrad course here in Lund. Find information and sign up at the link below. Registration is on a first come-first serve basis. 🧪 biology.lu.se/phd-studies/...

I started podcasting to replace textbooks. It is accessible, free etc. Students like it >5000 downloads in 2023. Season 1 is senior evolution. Season 2 is first year evolution and ecology. If you are interested you are welcome to use it bioaudio.buzzsprout.com/2234324 #AcademicSky 🧪 #WomenInSTEM

Do all the reviews you want, but the bottom line has been obvious for 10+ years. "We urgently need publicly funded scientists doing essential research for overall public benefit & a nice social media strategy doesn’t make that happen – funding does." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Happy to announce two PhD positions in fish ecophysiology 📣 Fully funded, fun fish temperature physiology, supervision by me, @shaunkillen, @NPilakouta! @Naturvetenskap Please spread the word 🙏 web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/103...

We now welcome abstracts for our session at Arctic Congress 2024 on "Cross/Trans-Disciplinary Collaborations and Advancing Community, Equity, and Inclusion in Arctic Research" Check out more information at usapecs.org/post/icass2024 🧪⚒️

My lab at the University of South Florida is looking for a postdoc to collaborate on a project on the evolution of poison frog color, behavior, and learning! Happy to answer questions, and I will be at #SICB2024 to chat - come join us!! Details on how to apply: shorturl.at/uwxIU Please share widely!

At Tampere Uni we have an open Prof position (all levels) in Applied Statistics, including Complex Systems ! Join us in the cold yet beautiful North! ❄️ For questions DM me or read details here: tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/index... Deadline Jan 8th ! ⏰

Hello everyone, we’re on Bluesky! The skies might be anything but blue here in lovely Edinburgh ☔️ but we are very excited to share the ASAB winter 2023 conference on this app for the very first time! #ASAB23 (We know hashtags don’t work yet, but maybe they’ll be useful for posterity)

This is really quite something... Antarctic sea ice extent is back to a record low for the current date. This is actually below 2016, which was previously a massive outlier in November and December. More sea ice graphs at: zacklabe.com/antarctic-se...

I completely resonate with this piece, and I am so glad to see this critical issue getting attention. Most people I talk to outside of science are shocked to hear there is little to no institutional support for this science communication work... most of it being done in our "free time"

Do you take pics of bumble bees? (if not maybe you should) Don't forget to submit those pics to bumble bee watch www.bumblebeewatch.org ! It is like iNaturalist for just bumble bees, but expert bumble bee identifiers (like me) volunteer to ID pics! #bees

The Biology Dept at Queen's U, Canada is hiring 2 faculty, either Assistant or Associate: i) Indigenous Science - joint with Envt'l Studies ii) Director of the Queen's University Biological Station Find details here: biology.queensu.ca/jobs/ #evolution #ecology #conservation #IndigenousSTEM

Please RT. We have an opening for an Assistant Professor of Microbiology broadly defined (although infectious disease is an interest). Deadline for application is 17 Jan 2024. More info here: usm.csod.com/ats/careersi...

Applications for the 2024 AI Residency has been extended to Dec 8th! Please apply www.deeplabcutairesidency.org

#DiscoveryProjects For those who missed the ARC's (technically challenged) presentation about the EOI stage of #DP25 yesterday, the recording is at youtu.be/gEFrZABjVPQ

Uppsala is stunning right now!

Excited to be in beautiful Cambridge today to meet with researchers and give the Zoology seminar this afternoon at 16:00 in the Zoology Part II Lecture Theatre!

Female academics less likely to win prizes, even when the award is named after a woman. Analysis: 9,000 awardees & 346 scientific prizes, medals published in Nature Human Behaviour, found men win 8 prizes for every 1 won by a woman. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (it isn't) phys.org/news/2023-11...

#DiscoveryProjects #DP25 In case this matters for anyone's planning, the ARC has pushed back the EOI & full application submission due dates by 1 day. They're now 27 Feb & 4 Jun 2024, respectively. Details ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

Last month was the most anomalous on record for temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere... Using data from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis: cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dat... 🧪⚒️

Klara Dankova did a really fun master project, looking at how developmental temperature in hoverflies affect different morphometric features. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🦟Students! Are you looking for some cool questions about mosquitoes? Some things for which we have little to no actual data. Predators of adult mosquitoes (e.g., 🕷️). Mosquito pollinated plants. Mosquitoes that live > 1 m off the ground. Species diversity across the world. 🦟

Great opportunity to study Drosophila eyes and vision using a range of cool approaches with an amazing supervisor as part of this DTP!

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

We’re advertising PhD projects BristolBioSci in evolutionary neurobiology and behaviour - a couple already advertised but other opportunities may also come up. Please pass around and get in touch if you’re interested! 🧠 more details here www.shmontgomery.co.uk/opportunities
