As an exercise, one could consider exactly what citation counts are good for, given that quite possibly _nobody_ noticed that citations of their own articles were being under-reported (or massively over-reported) over 14 years and possibly millions of authors.

Global tracking of marine megafauna space use reveals how to achieve conservation targets
The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) sets ambitious goals to protect, conserve, and manage at least 30% of the world's oceans in an effort to halt the loss of important mari...

Posterior predictive checking of binary, categorical and many ordinal models with bar graphs is useless. Even the simplest models without covariates usually have such intercept terms that category specific probabilities are learned perfectly. Can you guess which model, 1 or 2, is misspecifed? 1/4

Multispecies occupancy models are widely applied to infer interactions in the occurrence of different species, but convergence and estimation issues under realistic sample sizes are common. We conduc...

Fantastic new paper by
@reeserichardson.bsky.social
et al. An enormous amount of work showing the extent of coordinated scientific fraud and involvement of some editors. The number of fraudulent publications grows at a rate far outpacing that of legitimate science.

A few months until the end of my postdoc contract. Norway has defunded a good part of the academic system, so opportunities are limited. I will try to apply for my own funding, but pending potential failure, if someone has a job opportunity that might suit me I would be happy to have a chat!
