I'm developing a grad course on experimental design (study design generally) & data analysis in biology. What topics, papers, etc. do you think are most important? If you teach something similar, I would love to hear what/how you teach (if you are willing to share a syllabus that would amazing!).

Only 38% of ecology and evolution journals mandate data sharing and just 27% mandate code sharing New paper out today on how to fix this! Thnx to @eivimeycook.bsky.social @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social @royalsocietypublishing.org 👉 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Having just run a hiring process, my #1 piece of advice is *do not let AI create your resume or cover letter*. I bet I read the same letter 50 times and 50 more with word salad (~45%). Ask a real person(s) with hiring experience to help. It’s normal to ask — part of networking. #ConservationJobs

“The findings suggest that if scientists want to increase public urgency around climate change, they should highlight clear, concrete shifts instead of slow-moving trends. That could include the loss of white Christmases or outdoor summer activities canceled because of wildfire smoke.”

A huge congratulations on your PhD defense Dr. Esser! It will be great to work with you at McMaster.

Dave Schindler was one of my heroes, too. We lost him 4 years ago, March 2021. Dave was a fearless proponent of evidence-based policy making, and an iconic example of someone who speaks truth to power.

For Women's History Month, may we all remember and summon the courage of Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring to inform the world what DDT was doing to the songbirds, raptors,and by extension, us. While battling cancer, she stood her ground against savage attacks by the chemical industry...

We had a fin-tastic time at SCAS 2025 in Hamilton, ON! Thank you to our amazing team of volunteers, program chairs, plenary speakers, local arrangements committee, and of course, our supporters. We can't wait to see you all in Winnipeg for our joint meeting with @iaglr.bsky.social in May 2026!
