... and a third #ESEB2025 starter pack! go.bsky.app/4hRQTfd

A fourth starter pack for #ESEB2025! A few slots left in it (there's a 150-account limit) I have gone through the whole program now 😅. Still missing people who are attending without presenting (and accounts I missed). You can use Clearsky clearsky.app/eseb2025.bsk... to see the pack(s) you are in

Folks going to #ESEB2025 : To help people connect on Bluesky, I've started making starter packs. Here is a first one with the names that were available when I started. Ping me if you want to be included in the next one!

On Monday a large demonstration to stop higher education and research cuts will take place 🇳🇱 On Monday the Dutch government will revisit its shortsighted plans. A failure to do this creates a real setback that neither this nor next generations deserve. @woinactie.bsky.social #highered #academicsky

I created a feed for trait-based ecology & evolution to capture posts with the hashtag(s) #trait, #traits, #FunctionalTraits or the emojis for 'measure' 🧮➕📏 For discussion and research by scientists advancing trait-based approaches in ecology and evolution 🧮➕📏 🌎🧪🌾 bsky.app/profile/did:...
