How chasing a high-impact publication nearly broke me | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

The system is unsustainable in so many ways! The number of publications is overwhelming, reviewers and editors are hard to find, and the pressure to keep up with everything translates into chronic overwork...We are doing more science, but are we doing better science?

New paper, Great news: We have been saying for years that making the editorial board more diverse was needed We now show that diverse team of editors makes for more diverse reviewers More Inclusive=Better Science Things are getting better on this❤️ besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📢 Our Small Grants Call 2026–2027 is still open! #ResearchFunding up to CHF 10k for projects on #mountain monitoring, #data, & info. Projects that consolidate the state of knowledge or advance #TransformativeResearch are particularly encouraged. 🗓 Deadline: 20 Feb 2026 🔗 Apply: buff.ly/yQDG01i

Our paper "Strengthening responsibilities to face global crises: A call to ecologists, environmental scientists, and their societies" has been accepted in People and Nature! More to come on this soon!

Thrilled to see the first #PhD chapter by @annaroennfeldt.bsky.social published in @natcomms.nature.com. This multi-region comparison shows that lack of #niche conservatism in #non-native #plants might be transient and potentially linked to dispersal limitations. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

In this article, just out, I argue that scientists have a crucial role in the science-policy interface: keep making questions, especially those whose answers decision-makers don't know they want to know, or know they do not want to know. Here's the link: journals.plos.org/sustainabili...

Congrats Martin!✨ 🎊

🌱 Fieldwork update from Isla Victoria (Argentina): We returned to resample vegetation in long-term exclosure plots originally established by @agostinatorres.bsky.social after the removal of pine plantations. These plots allow us to track secondary invasions dynamics and potential community.

Despite having outstanding scientists like Sandra, our scientific system is being defunded and is in deep crisis under the current government. #CONICET #Argentina

The reviewer crisis: data from the journal Biological Invasions: "Reviewer acceptance rates dropped steadily over the past two decades. Early-career researchers had the highest acceptance rates, while senior scholars were least likely to accept review invitations." link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery. Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action. 👉 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #Biodiversity #Conservation #PredictiveModels #PNAS

Not great odds in favor...

Great opportunity!!!!!

Dear community I am looking for some ideas on a way to capture opinions and testimonies during an open table at a conference. Any good experiences on something interactive? Ideas are welcome ❤️

🌍🧪Ecology needs inclusive systems and equitable opportunities. Our new BES report shares evidence, lived experience, and practical steps to dismantle barriers in science.  Written by BES Network members, part-funded by Pride in STEM. Read the full report here:

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming. Could these be the real culprits? The evidence is in--and the answer is NO. This thread explains! 🧵

Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Argentina have watched a livestream of a deep sea exploration, partly out of interest in nature and partly as a form of activism as President Javier Milei threatens to cut state-funded science. nyti.ms/45rOOmu

The Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina has been thinning at a sharply accelerated rate since 2019, scientists reported on Thursday. And if the thinning doesn’t slow, it could kick-start a series of changes that might cause the ice to shrink even faster. nyti.ms/4lgguR2

🔬 In Mexico, science lacks stable funding, is centralized, hit by inflation, and burdened by rising costs. Researchers stretch shrinking budgets as demands grow. Similar in Argentina, even before Milei. Across Latin America, doing science is harder, and more vital than ever. 🧪
