Timeless. Fucking. Song. Apparently. youtu.be/zUzd9KyIDrM?...

Deadline for applying is 9 march. Don't miss out!

My academic coach (a very cool privilege I have) just told me about ‘Ask For It’ a guide for women to negotiate a raise. It came up after I mentioned equity in pay 💰 in academia.

The number of times I've been a reviewer and had to ask folks to report their sample sizes

I've attended a conference (with 2 exceptions) every year since 2011. COOL!

love being a WOC pointing out zero representation and getting the academic version of "all lives matter" back. "we don't see color" isn't the flex you think it is. it's why nothing changes.

They were amazing talks!!! Very well deserved. Congratulations!!

Hmm… so this means that colleges that want to “prepare students for the AI workplace” should be sure to keep robust Romance and other language departments? Worth a shot. #AcademicSky

NSF leaders have just acknowledged what many scientists have long suspected: Presidential directives to boost AI and quantum have upended its traditional way of doing business. www.science.org/content/arti...

Median amount of time spent under review is 7.4–14.6% longer for female-authored articles than for male-authored articles and the differences remain significant after controlling for several factors - analysis of >36.5 million articles in >36,000 journals doi.org/10.1371/jour...

My current record is a manuscript that has been in review for like a year. And that only includes a single round of reviews so far

I had a pre-interview meeting to discuss a (then) open postdoc position. I asked the PI if they prioritize publishing with the high school students they work with and their response was: "We don't give token authorship" This was at an R1.

🚨 NEW preprint!!! 🚨 Browning, Mayor, and the rest of the Fall 2025 Vert Anat class at OWU are pleased to present you with our study: Maximum performance, repeatability, and intraindividual variability of sprinting in common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) doi.org/10.32942/X29...

Sometimes there are jewels just sitting on leaves out here This is a tortoise beetle, beautifully iridescent, about the size of my fingernail.

Once again, a reminder that you now live in a country where there are two classes of citizenship, & approximately 26 million of us are being reminded on a regular basis by the far right authoritarian party that we have the lesser kind.

Also I think White academics don't understand that if you practice inclusive pedagogy to support minority groups, you are supporting all. This is based on my experiences + feedback I've gotten repeatedly on my perceived limitations as an advocate of Latinos (and other minority groups, obvi)

Are you kidding me lol eff off And in Spanish: R u kidding me lol. Chíngate. This is a racist strawman witch hunt. 1) I know because this guy wants to give trump a 3rd term ogles.house.gov/media/press-... 2) there's been similar content in the Superb Owl before

Y'all. I have real good news. The anxiety we developed during our PhD for when we get email notifications DOES GO AWAY. Can confirm.

I had a journal tell me they needed a new Dryad DOI from me because it was broken. I explained Dryad DOI are not live until we enter the data into curation, and that happens after acceptance. To be clear, we also sent them the private link for reviewers. Some journals are REALLY Dryad unfriendly.

Lmao

Version 2 for the stats-inclined Using journal impact factors to assess individuals is kind of like running a GLMM and saying "every individual follows the population mean". I'm more than my paper's journal's impact factor.

I've never felt the need to publish in a high impact factor journal for anything except the fact that "others will judge me on this", and it's a sentiment shared by my mentors. Judge me on something largely extrinsic to me and my research.

We ran 🦎🦎 100x each to quantify repeatability in running speeds. If sprint speeds are not repeatable, our experiments are not either due to differences in perceived rank orders. ...and we found low repeatability (<0.5) at low N due to individual variation. Group means are part of the answer!

My grad student, who got RWR and appealed, got an email from GRFP program today that said "Your application was screened by NSF program officers with expertise in your proposed field of study and was determined to be ineligible according to the solicitation requirements." No details were given. 😡

guess who's back, back again. NSF PRFB! if you want to address interesting problems in global change biology and the ever thorny problem of what limits species' elevational ranges, and are interested in a postdoc, please do reach out. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

I am looking for a master’s student to join my research group at Angelo State to work on an NSF-funded project in collaboration with colleagues at Cal Poly Humboldt and in Brazil. Please help me share this opportunity!

📢 A new publication from our team is now out in the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social BULLETIN! 👉 doi.org/10.1002/bes2... It shows how community, collaboration, & multilingual science are not extras—they are essential for equity in ecology. 🌎 📢Please share to amplify Latin American voices!

Funds available for grads and postdocs to visit @burkemuseum.bsky.social collections! Applications due Dec. 15th. Please share!

Notice how Greenland and Antarctica get like no sun since ice/snow reflect so much light (50–90%) back into the atmosphere. Also the albedo in the Sahara and Europe is nuts.

A cool part of being from CA, my ostracod research, and teaching in the midwest is I can support students interested in marine science We used data from NASA to make a global time-avgd map (1980-2000, like WorldClim) of the amount of shortwave light "hitting" Earth's surface to study eye evo 😎🌤️⛰️🌊🦐

Grad student in lab just had their GRFP returned without review. But their proposal is not on ag/crops/health. What gives?? 😡

I did it y'all, I have a project that requires it. It's finally time to learn GAMMs 🤘🏽🤔😎

Me: Hey Outlook can you attach this file. Outlook: No, I'm now crashing out. Me: OK but can you show me this calendar invite? Outlook: Also no. It has been mysteriously deleted. Me: What can you do? Outlook: I definitely cannot effectively search your emails.

"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

The OWU Vertebrate Anatomy class (and a couple coauthors) are cooking up a paper on sprinting speeds in lizards 🦎🦎 and improving how we analyze maximum performance data 🏃🏽 Love this job 🔥🔥

I just realized my nemesis for the last few years has been the U of Chicago press because its rare for me to have institutional access to their articles 😪

"Usually they say, ‘He’s a horrible dictator-type person,’ I’m a dictator[...]But sometimes you need a dictator! But they didn’t say that in this case.… It’s all based on common sense, it’s not conservative or liberal, or anything else.” -POTUS

And/or when you write a paper use a permanent address (like gmail etc.) rather than an institutional one that expires when you leave (Univ Washington our emails expire!)... at least until you have a permanent position.

Breaking news: The Trump administration acknowledged for the first time that members of the U.S. DOGE Service accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without the awareness of agency officials, months after a whistleblower raised concerns.

I am so angry on behalf of my parents & all immigrants who came to this country on the promise of freedom and opportunity FOR. ALL. only to see it stripped away in rage of white supremacy. The words shame & betrayal are an understatement. The American Dream is a nightmare for so many right now.

It is a PROBLEM that the new MANDATORY ScienCV platform does not (as far as I can tell) enable one to indicate co-first or co-senior authorship in your bibliography. This is a massive disincentive to collaborative science and it needs to be fixed.

Wtaf. Apparently an obligation to maintaining "peace" was preventing him from thinking about what's good and proper for the nation. I can see history students being asked to analyze this on writing tests in 50 years bc the implications are outrageous
