Great postdoc opportunity in Sweden!! With the one and only David Wardle 🧪🌐 www.umu.se/en/work-with...

Don't miss out on our guest speaker Dr. Elisa Thébault and her scientific talk "Species diversity, food web structure and ecosystem stability: Bridging the gap between theory and data" More details about our Lunchbox models seminar series on: www.yomos.org/lunchbox-mod...

Macquarie University’s Downing Herbarium is coming soon to the Atlas of Living Australia. Our team at MQ's Plant Ecology lab will lead this project. Digitisation grants and biodiversity resources like these are game-changers, making available vital data for ecological research and conservation.

Massive update to the Global Wood Density Database out today @newphyt.bsky.social led by the brilliant Fabian Fischer. What an amazing community resource! 🧪🍁🌐 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Almost there! Building my own website with claude code 🫶🏽

I still remember when Istanbul had weeks of snow (yes, Istanbul!). When summers over 30°C felt alarming. When droughts and fires along the Aegean coast were exceptional enough to dominate the news for days. We normalize too quickly!

Absolutely thrilled to see this project taking flight! 🚀 Such a fantastic team tackling a really important topic. Can’t wait for the full suite of forecasting challenges to drop, hoping many of you will jump in and give them a go once they’re live!

I start all of my presentations with this gif.

176 tiny maps (1850-2025) Maps of temperature anomalies for each year. The progression to warmer, redder colours is evident over virtually the entire planet. This 'small multiples' #dataviz approach is effective to show that nowhere is escaping from the warming due to us burning fossil fuels.

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2025) The last 3 years really jump out, rather like 2015-6 did when we first produced this graphic back then. Now, 2015-6 looks rather cool... More on the spiral: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

When they say AI will take over, I remind myself they still ask for birth certificates.

Ecologists! Give me ideas where to publish a registered report on plant-microclimate experiments :-) It is hard to find OA journals that are society-owned and read by ecologists ☘️💚🌿💚🍃
