Join us today & Wedn in #ICESASC25 session R, where you can experience the breadth of @icesmarine.bsky.social science: from marine biodiversity & benthic ecology to fish biology & stock assessment to human dimensions - we have it all covered! @johnkpinnegar.bsky.social @laurauusitalo.bsky.social

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

Look how cute new game I got! 😍 It's called Shallow Sea, and you build a coral reef ecosystem in it. We've not tested it yet. 😊

🌊 Marine-Themed Craft Pop-Up 🎨 Join us at the ASC poster session on Tuesday 16 September at a fun Marine-Themed Craft Pop-Up Shop! Bring homemade or store-bought crafts: like knitwear, jewelry, art, or toys - to swap or sell.🧶 ℹ️ bit.ly/4o0Myel

Reading psychology papers (PP) on video games (VG) can sometimes be a weird experience (WE). This WE stems from VG-related PPs (VGPP) frequent use of abbreviations (FUA), this FUA resulting in a reduction in readability (RR) of VGPP with very little apparent gain (VLAG).

New call for Fish and Fisheries Editor in Chief! Please dm me if you are interested. We are a great team of editors (if I don't say so myself!) and it's an amazing journal. Looking for someone to help shape its direction and impact, who works well as a team 🐟 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

Reminder! DL for applications next Monday.

Hey, people with PhDs! Do you feel that other people's degrees are totally legit, but *your* PhD is somehow fake or substandard and should not have been accepted? I wonder how common that is. Is there research on this particular flavour of imposter syndrome?

📢 Join ICES Secretariat as a Professional Project Officer to lead our work in MarineGuardian, an EU project. We're looking for a skilled project manager with EU research experience, strong communication skills & a passion for turning science into impact. Interested? 👉 www.ices.dk/about-ICES/J...

Meet @lrlaurahy.bsky.social, Professor at @univhelsinkics.bsky.social & @ellisinstitute.fi 🇫🇮. She’s advancing #MachineLearning with spatiotemporal data & is excited to help build a world-class AI research hub at the Institute. “I hope to inspire more women to pursue research in ML.” #WomenInELLIS

We are hiring a postdoc to look at land use effects on fish populations. Come work with me! @luke.fi is a very supportive and well-organized research environment with great colleagues. You'll like it. ❤️ And you'll get to choose where you want to work between a number of Finnish cities.

Come work with us! Luke has a team of statistics & machine learning specialists, so you will not be alone. This is your chance to simultaneously do cool stuff and make the world a better place. :)

My new hobby: Asking people who talk about AI to define what exactly they are talking about. Neural networks? Lange language models? Bayesian inference tools? The language even scientists use around modern computational methods is absurdly fluffy.

I've never felt threatened or unsafe around a trans woman. I have, many times, felt scared around men. No, it's not all men, but, yes, it is almost always men.

📢Last call for #ICESASC25 Be a part of our Annual Science Conference 2025. Share your research by submitting an abstract. 🔔Deadline today 24 March!​ www.ices.dk/events/asc/2... #ResourceManagement #CumulativeImpacts #MarineBiodiversity #ArtificialReefs #VMEs #EcosystemServices #Fisheries #Ocean

(1/3) Recently, I visited London at my own expense to discuss modelling possibilities with a rather loose agenda. I explained this to some friends later, saying a bit apologetically, "It was like part work and part fun, it's just so much fun to talk science without strict requirements to deliver".

Join us at the University of Iceland! They are hiring an assistant professor in marine and freshwater ecology! 🤓 Lots of water available in and around the country, plenty of cool nature and a volcanic eruption every now and then! 🌊🐟🐳🌿🌋 english.hi.is/about-ui/wor...

New paper by Harvey etal reveals that fisheries mangmt must adapt further to climate ✅ management overlooks system complexity leading to feedback loops ✅Integrated social-ecol. data reveals hidden vulnerabilities & strategies ✅ Cross-sector engagement is crucial for success doi.org/10.1007/s111...

I'm happy to have had a (small) role in this work. The author team here is great. ❤️

@ipbes.net is seeking nominations of experts for its second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services. BES can nominate qualified experts, so get in touch if you’re interested in submitting an application. The deadline is 28 March. www.ipbes.net/second-globa...

I'm reading this fish modelling book and getting ideas of how I'd like to teach fish stock assessment & modelling and ecosystem modelling. Too bad I don't actually teach at the Uni. 😅 press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

On my way from @helcominfo.bsky.social annual reception, there was aephoto op. 😁 It was great seeing old and new colleagues again and plan how to save the world. 😁 Thank you HELCOM!

I played the sax again after a long break. It felt good, but I'd love to play with other people - and yet, I'm quite self-conscious about my skill level. Any suggestions? 😁 (Oh I know: practise, take classes, join a big band or something. I just don't seem to have the time - a priorization issue.)

Undoubtedly an excellent course with excellent teachers coming up at @icesmarine.bsky.social !

I made a starter pack of marine social scientists active on #Bluesky. Let me know who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/TyBgT5H

I can haz a new toy! It's a bass ukulele. ❤️ One more intrument I suspect I will play rather poorly but very happily. 😁 (Also, it seemed impossible to take a proper picture. 😁)

My new challenge: chairing ICES data science and technology steering group for the next four years! I've got a lot to learn, but it's going to be great. ❤️ ices.dk/community/gr... @icesmarine.bsky.social @luke.fi

I'm making a Finnish wall rug. So far, I'm finding it quite meditative. It's going to look like that, I hope: taitoshop.fi/tuote/ryijy-... Row 1/53 nearly done. 😄

Tuu meille töihin! Jobb i Luke! Come work with us! A permanent group leader position open in Luke. This group is full of brilliant people, you'll love them. 😍 valtiolle.fi/fi/tyopaikat... valtiolle.fi/se/jobbar/sp....

I love the @helsinginkaupunki.bsky.social Oodi library. It it so welcoming and the topmost floor is stunningly beautiful. ❤️ I'm attending today's last remote meeting from here and being extremely satisfied.

I have the best job in the world. 💖 Today, I've worked on an absolutely brilliant collaborative research project proposal. I'm super thrilled with it. I guess it's both my kryptonite and superpower that I'm most interested in everything. 😁

Research update! Our paper on utilising ChatGPT for text analysis is out now! LLMs like ChatGPT are slowly infiltrating research workflows, but how reliable are they for text annotation & analysis? Our latest study dives into the usability & trustworthiness of these tools. 🔍 #AI #LLMResearch 1/n

This has bugged me all day today. I think it illustrates very clearly some aspects of the crisis of scientific publishing - and more generally the problems with the metrics we use to measure academic merits.

Yay! Happy to share our latest work: Machine Learning Applications for Fisheries—At Scales from Genomics to Ecosystems. This work is collaboration of the ICES Working Group on Machine Learning in Marine Science. Tbh, it took a long time to write, but was totally worth it. doi.org/10.1080/2330...

Tonight's reading is from Jon Kleinberg and Manish Raghavan. Elegant mathematical modeling to look at what happens when two decision-makers use the same more accurate algorithm instead of different less-accurate ones. tl;dr — surprisingly, almost paradoxically, bad things.

My new Ecological Forecasting Initiative kuksa cup got some proper use in the Sipoonkorpi national park. ❤️

hey @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com @faineg.bsky.social can you share this for reach? thanks!

🦑 #Marinescience 📈🌊🌡️ #risingoceantemperatres 🦠 #phytoplankton Subtle changes in the color of oceans in Satellite imagery are due to changes in the species composition of phytoplankton. It is possible that's such changes are related to water temperature www.bbc.com/future/artic...

To do -listassa Eisenhower-matriisi ei minulle toiminut. Tässä uusi kokeilu, ehkä toimivampi? Rasti ruutuun kun tehtävä on kalentoroitu, pyyhitään listalta, kunon hoidettu.

This made me quit instagram a few weeks ago. Now the same choice has to be made with FB. I've hung in there for the wide network of people in my contacts, and the event invites, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated.
