My heart goes out to Priyanga Amarasekare. I don't see justice served with this one-sided Board decision. Is it right to have her reputation & career ruined for being a POC speaking out for equity? Academic freedom is worth protecting. 💔 dailybruin.com

Insightful summary of an extraordinary person being extraordinarily fired: "you don't silence a woman of color who raised concerns about racism by silencing her...The fingerprints are distributed perfectly across the system." www.linkedin.com/pulse/uclas-...

I'm against IF! But I'm a huge fan of society journals. So, I'll sound contradictory when I say that I'm glad to see that the highest IF journal (IF of 232.4) ever...is a society journal!

I’m launching a blog series for @oikosjournal.bsky.social , “View from the Editor’s Desk” - the first post is now live. These pieces reflect my personal perspectives on different aspects of the publication system and not official journal policy. www.oikosjournal.org/blog/view-ed...

Some numbers really surprise me! The amount of heat added to the world’s oceans in the past 25 years is equivalent to about 3.6 billion Hiroshima-style atomic bomb explosions, i.e, 12 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs exploding every second!

Why not publish your research with a Society Journal? 🧪🌍 The Linnean Society is committed to publishing high-quality and ground-breaking scientific research across the four themes of botany, zoology, biology and evolution, striving to make these accessible & engaging to a global audience. 🧵(1/4)

Last week I introduced to my Biostatistics students the expression ‘the cognitive discomfort of statistical thinking,’ which I think captures a deep and recurring tension in how statistical reasoning operates, regardless of the school of inference.

Our cover for February! 🐝 A 27-year, continent-wide study of fig wasps by Souza et al. (2025) shows that communities linked to Neotropical fig trees change dramatically across space, with high species turnover driven by host specialization, competition, and local adaptation. vist.ly/4q7w9

I’ve asked this exact question 👇to editors-in-chief of many (even society) journals. Many answered “because it’s been always like that”. Even though we know that it can reduce some biases. So what’s to loose by being double-blinded?! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
