Muy interesante reflexión 👏. Evaluar ciencia no puede reducirse a un único indicador ni al factor de impacto. Difícil cambiar el sistema, pero el primer paso es asumir que la evaluación es compleja y no cabe en una sola métrica.

Happy to be at #EOU2025! 🐦🏙️ If you want to know, how does urbanization impact migratory bird seasonal distribution (and you didn't manage to come to my poster yesterday), don't hesitate to find me and ask! @eounion.bsky.social

Traveling tomorrow to Pontevedra to attend the SIBECOL-AEET meeting @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social My keynote talk will be Monday evening (19:40 h). I'll present an updated overview of that elusive conundrum which links subindividual plant ecology with a set of independent epigenetic causal layers

South American tapirs make a historic comeback in Patagonia, marking a major win for rewilding efforts! 🌱 Once extinct in the region, they're now roaming free thanks to persistent conservation initiatives. Proof that nature can heal with our help! 💚 #Rewilding #ConservationWins #ForestGardeners

Following the release of {distantia} 2.0, I wrote the blog post "A Gentle Intro to Dynamic Time Warping" with a conceptual description of the method (no code at all) and a summary of some interesting real-world applications: www.blasbenito.com/post/dynamic...

After one year of intermittent development, version 2.0 of the #Rstats package {distantia} (URL: blasbenito.github.io/distantia) is finally on CRAN! This is a FULL REWRITE of the original package, which now has a fast and efficient C++ core, additional tools, and a much more intuitive API.
