Scientific publishing has shifted but not improved. First, readers couldn’t access papers. Now, authors can’t afford to publish them (APCs ~$3000). With today’s open-source tools, it may actually be cheaper for institutions to run journals than to pay APCs. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA #OpenScience

The journal Science of the Total Environment has now been removed from the Web of Science index! A dramatic fall triggered by editorial practices that inflated number of articles, including some approved through fake peer reviews. #Science #OpenScience #Research #OpenAccess #ScienceForAll 👇

Just released a flexible #LaTeX template for short #CV! - Modular layout panels - Optional bibliography/reference section - Clear styling for academic and professional use Check it out on github.com/ptarroso/shortCV #DataScience #OpenSource #Publications #Resume

I feel privileged that I never had to hate my neighbour, that I don’t need to paint over genocide to stay blind to it.

A wasteland of rubble, dust and graves: how Gaza looks from the sky

This video from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center provides an unprecedented look at the intricate, interconnected flow of ocean currents around the world

Power back after 10h with major power outage affecting Portugal and Spain! Movie like: no ATMs , no money, no fuel... #power #outage

Happy to share the third paper from David Ferrer-Ferrando's PhD project, published in @ecography.bsky.social, about abundance–suitability relationships 📈🐦📊 Check it out! nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @pacevedo.bsky.social @ptarroso.bsky.social

Feeling a bit anxious for these data! 🌐 #remotesensing #forest #biomass @esa.int

To those who claim Israelis and Palestinians cannot live together: Anyone can live peacefully with their neighbor if they choose to. These artists have shown us even more — they create together, strengthen their voice as brothers, and prove what others call impossible. Listen to them! ✊

Now imagine if Trump proposed friendly gathering of Palestinians into camps where they could work, and the elderly and sick would be cared for at no cost... Spurious correlation: hate and global temperature rise together....

This kind of shows that is science, research and openness that foster leadership and progress rather than wars, borders or tariffs... Note that although the chatbot can leak data to China it is open source! You can set up a local version of it on your controlled environment.

A starter pack for people studying how human affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at global scale, across terrestrial and marine realms & conservation challenges. Sounds like Global Ecology ! sure I missed many people, reply to be added, and share to spread ! go.bsky.app/V6tN4cv 🧪🌍🦤🦑🪴

If you have point data on maps and need to retrieve coordinates, check out the updated #speciesdigitizer R package! It's now compatible with the latest packages to ensure full functionality. Explore it here: github.com/ptarroso/speciesdigitizer #GIS #Mapping #DataAnalysis

A starter pack of scientists that use a variety of platforms and sensors to detect, monitor and measure plants and animals. Please reply to be included or removed. I’ll add folks who have relevant terms in their bio. ECRs and PhDs welcome! 🧪🦊 #auswildlife #drones #cameratraps go.bsky.app/eFMQQX

Have you ever needed to spatialize genetic distances without relying on models like niche modeling? I built #Phylin a few years ago, an R package for that! The original purpose was to produce #spatialdata bringing #evolutionary insights into conservation prioritization. 🌍🧬 1/5 #rstats

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

This a great website! They mapped streets in major European cities and identified how many are named after people... Around 91% of these are named after men... A mapped view on lack of diversity. #map #gis

I created a feed for microclimate ecology and biogeography to capture posts with the hashtag #microclimate bsky.app/profile/spac...

BTW, my own online R tutorial is at github.com/matloff/fasteR. I originally wrote it for a young relative who needed it for her university classes in psychology. Many have found it useful, either for themselves or for recommendations to new learners.

If Bruce Lee was a #blender creative with #GIS skills, he might just have created this video ode to the spatial pixel! 😅 #BeSquare #Maps #Cartography #Python (Revisiting some old post from the other platform...)

I was missing the little 🐦 in the notification panel but the 🦋 is just fine!

🚀 Spatial data with Go! 🌍 I wanted to explore a new language with spatial data and created a tool using Go + Godal (GDAL interface) to generate true color images from Sentinel-2 data. Get the tool here: github.com/ptarroso/gos... #golang #spatialdata #GIS Example result

Centenas de km disponíveis para painéis solares? Porque é que os espaços entre as faixas da autoestrada não são aproveitados para painéis solares? Deve ter pouco impacto, não é necessário inutilizar grandes áreas, nem destruir zonas naturais 🌞💡 #EnergiaSolar #Sustentabilidade

How does the environment shape contact zones? We analyzed the meeting areas between 🐍Vipera latastei and V. aspis 🐍 to uncover the ecological interactions. Check it out! #Vipers #Ecology #Biogeography doi.org/10.1038/s415...
