Great slides! It must have been an amazing KeyNote. The "Available upon Request" is such a frustrating option as overall it leads to nothing. Authors not responding, not giving data at all because "other work", or only a small part, or that they need to be co-author on follow up work (!!), etc.

Hey @ondrejmottl.bsky.social ...you will like this article... "Show the data!" is something I remember you saying to the PhDs draft figures.....

@ac-lima.bsky.social will today be presenting at #EGU26 ! In the session "GM9.2 Mountain Glaciations in a Changing World", Augusto will be talking about "Validation Practices in Mountain Palaeoglacier Modelling", based on an extensive global literature review.📚 #ProudSupervisor #RisingStar 🤩

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. www.nature.com/articles/d41... An additional issue.... I have picked up on severak recent citations of my work in a completely non-sense context. Were authors "suggested" my work by AI and then picked a "true, closest" paper?

It will be excited to see new proposals come in! Please reach out if you have any questions or perhaps ideas you are considering.....

"AI reduces persistence and students lack the experience of learning by trying, testing, doing... Students used to AI but then without AI also give up more frequently on test problems. " A devil in disguise that over the long term affects students' learning and perseverance....YEP!

New preprint on the recent history of phylogenetic biogeography, with co-authors Isabel Sanmartín and Joel Cracraft, now up on EcoEvoRxiv: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Yep agree! I have heard too many examples now of people losing track of what they thought the code was doing and what the initial intention was. It "looks good", but its not something to outsource....

🐟🦐 Come work with us! We’re offering a PhD position in marine life-history modeling as part of the Arctic Ocean 2050 program. The position is based at the Theoretical Ecology Group at the University of Bergen in Norway. www.jobbnorge.no/nn-no/ledige...

Many journals require data and code sharing. Yet code is still rarely shared and datasets are often hard to reuse. Our new paper introduces the @sortee.bsky.social guidelines for data & code quality control in ecology & evolution, developed by 26 experienced data editors. 📄 doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

Dr. Catherine Graham (Swiss Federal Research Institute, WSL) is our Funk Biogeography Seminar speaker this month! Join us for an exploration of the past, present, and future of studying biodiversity in environmental space. Learn more and register at: www.biogeography.org/news/news/ma...

More journals should have specific guidelines about what is meant with "code sharing"

📖 Big news! We just released the first five chapters of our new book, Hello Data Science. It is a fully open-access resource written for beginners. Please help us spread the word! A few points about the book are below 👇 🔗 www.hellodata.science #rstats #datascience #tidyverse

I find there's a huge mismatch between the standard advice that people give about scientific conference talks, and how people actually give talks. So I picked out the most important pieces of advice that are most often ignored. 🧪

Debating the aesthetics of #wind & #solar is a luxury. The real crisis is climate change—threatening billions with deadly heat & catastrophic ecosystem breakdowns ♨️🥵🔥 Green #energy is a necessity🍃 Challenges exist (noise, land use) but are manageable - biggest risk is inaction #dkpol #climatechange

Come to our amazing Bergen! Great work-life environment, 100s km of hiking around Bergen, and the project also looks pretty cool 😄

New R-package alert! 🚨 With tabs it has never been easier to reconstruct altitudinal shifts of biogeographical systems over time. Whether in the ocean 🏝️, shallow seas 🪸 or mountains ⛰️; tabs can project spatial configurations shaped by climatic conditions. ➡️ doi.org/10.21425/fob...
