To be, or not to be, part-time in academia? This is a tricky question that has faced many of us and in @elife.bsky.social we discuss the benefits and challenges of being part-time. With @emiliapsantos.bsky.social and a fantastic, interdisciplinary team! elifesciences.org/articles/106...

👋 Interested in working on the evolution of genetic architecture 🧬 of complex traits using linked-read sequencing of thousands of common lizards 🦎 from a wild population and common garden experiment? #evolution #genetics Well, I have a PhD offer for you 👇 devillemereuil.legtux.org/erc-funded-p...

Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

📌 I really enjoyed @pablosalmon.bsky.social’s talk at #EOU2025! 🐦 Exploring how #mitochondria may shape avian #migration — lessons from Eurasian #blackbirds with different strategies. Great insights into the energetic basis of life-history strategies!

✨ Great talk by @elisathrl.bsky.social at #EOU2025! 🐦 Insights into how dietary fatty acids shape #metabolism & #thermoregulation — from #mitochondria to whole organisms. Excited to see how this helps us understand birds facing thermal challenges!

Fully funded PhD Position available at Uni. Aberdeen on the iconic Svalbard reindeer, with a great research team! Open to international candidates - deadline 10th Sep! Harnessing blood transcriptomics to explore physiological trade-offs in an Arctic ungulate: tinyurl.com/yn49mesx Please share!

Thank you to Paul Tixier, from IRD MARBEC, for opening the Behaviour session today : "Understanding the ecology and behaviour of killer whales interacting fisheries" 🐟 ‪@ird-fr.bsky.social ‪@ifremer.bsky.social‬

I usually tell people that *so far*, habitat loss, not climate change, has been the major driver of bird population declines... but now we're starting to get analyses directly connecting bird declines to extreme weather events fueled by climate change. 🪶 theconversation.com/70-years-of-...

Penguins being "busy with HPAI", maybe some heat-stress study in captivity will happen soon

In urban areas, darkness is increasingly rare, so how is our addiction to light at night affecting other species? Dehua Wang (Shandong University, China) & co show that Bengalese finches are relatively unaffected but zebra finches are in bad shape journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

My new office mate is quiet, but quite judgemental about the mess in my office... Not sure we'll become the best office mates from the department, so I may send him/her (no genetic sexing done yet) in the field for the coming years

How should researchers respond to allegations about their work? Lessons from three Nobel Prize winners who have retracted papers.

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

When your first day of fieldwork occurs when field season is almost over, does it mean you're too old for fieldwork?

When you get the IR camera at home in-between two research projects (king penguin --> Alpine swift), it can give fun pictures!

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)
