I don't have access to this article, but the abstract makes very good points. It's also applicable to millipedes and centipedes, which have increased in popularity as pets, which presents similar issues. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Research funds are scarce & competition is fierce. A recent paper by @andreasdeblock.bsky.social & colleagues explores how this competition shapes science—its practices, risks & ethics—and proposes ways to make funding fairer & more effective👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #AcademicSky #HPS #scipol 🧪

Increasingly I need to prepare scientists to deal with negative interactions with the public. Some tips: • Listening is often more effective than correcting “I hadn’t heard that, tell me more” • Anti-sci to pro-sci is a spectra: Anti➡️questioning➡️neutral➡️interested➡️supportive. Nudge 1 place only

This « Choose Europe for Science » event organized by Macron is an obvious cover up. Not *a single French academic* is attending, as it follows a series of unprecedented cuts in academic funding (-3.5 billions). www.education.gouv.fr/lancement-de...

Hello #bioacoustics 🔉sky, is there a journal that accepts manual sound id despite the reproducibility issues? The automatic sound detection does not work, because we have few instances of that sound. Read this article www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... but implementation is tricky.

🔊 The environment has a summer soundtrack. From buzzing meadows to silent mountains, Europe’s landscapes are diverse – & every sound tells a story. 🎧 Watch & listen to the sounds of summer, & let us know in the comments: what’s your favourite sound in nature? #Biodiversity #Sustainability
