Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB! We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Just came back from a city trip to Bologna; a really unique place with very old buildings and very young people. Also, the oldest (and still operating) university in Europe and the Western World! Great food too. 🥰 #universityofbologna

Recently I presented my work and other ongoing projects of BIOECOS (tinyurl.com/5n793y8p) at the seminar of @idiv-research.bsky.social! We discussed the relationships of biodiversity and agricultural yield across scales. It was great to engage with the iDiv community, thank you! 🙌 #postdoclife

🌟 An amazing study led by Rachel Turba and César Marín is now online! 🗺️ Non-native English speakers from the Global South spend much more time dealing with language issues, have limited access to funding sources and their publications have less visibility. More here: zenodo.org/records/1490...

Last week I gave lectures at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research and the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens about meta-analyses and open science in Ecology. It was a lot of fun and I met many interesting colleagues. I'm very grateful for this opportunity!

Asking for a friend!

Insane amount of work! Congrats to everyone involved. Nicely highlights the importance of being open and transparent about your analytical decisions (and also providing data and code!).

New paper in @royalsocietypublishing.org led by @danielwanoble.bsky.social. We highlight community-driven preprints like #EcoEvoRxiv support rapid sharing of different types of articles and languages, increase accessibility, and promote open science | doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

✨️Can sustainable agriculture promote biodiversity and yield? 🚨Spoiler alert: Yes! In our latest manuscript we synthesized thousands of studies and found that sustainable agriculture increases biodiversity without compromising agricultural production.

Our new pre-registered study on data- and code-sharing in 275 eco&evo journals: doi.org/10.32942/X24... Thanks to all participants of the @sortee.bsky.social hackathon. Special thanks to @eivimeycook.bsky.social & @nickmoran-sci.bsky.social for their invaluable contributions & leadership. You rock.

🎉🎉New Preprint!!🎉🎉 "From Policy to Practice: Progress towards Data- and Code-Sharing in Ecology and Evolution" doi.org/10.32942/X24... Myself and a whole bunch of awesome coauthors reviewed data- and code-sharing policies across 275 journals that publish ecology and evolution studies.

We are looking for more collaborators who want to run a BugNet site in their region. If you are interested, join our online info event. Please re-skeet, and help us to reach community ecologists, and those interested in plant- herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions around the world! 👇

💥 Network meta-analysis is a statistical method that allows us to quantitatively combine results from experiments and compare the effectiveness of different interventions.

This was a great collaboration with Maximus, Gav and @elinatakola.bsky.social. We show how network meta-analysis, a method common in medicine, could be applied in ecology. Preprint (prior to peer-review) is here: doi.org/10.32942/X2J... #evidenceSynthesis #metaanalysis

Scientists: Please join on an open letter to EU policymakers calling them to reinstate the Green Deal. Link to the letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Link to sign can be found therein. Please spread the word among scientists, to obtain enough signatories asap. Thanks!

Have had some good chats recently about pivoting to non-profit and society journals. A point to share/underline is that such options exist across the "prestige" spectrum. Some examples in the image. All heavily subjective of course; would love to hear thoughts from others!

Four years ago we showed that only 27% of articles published in ecological journals WITH a code-sharing policy made their code available, leading to a 21% reproducibility potential. 📰 doi.org/10.1371/jour... We've looked into journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy. Results coming soon...

Evidence that we are in the right place at the right time!

Two years ago I graduated from Friedrich Schiller University Jena with a Dr.rer.nat. (German academic term for PhD in natural sciences) degree. Here are some hindsight notes about my experience:
