My colleague, investigating a student for obvious GenAI use, sent me a bibliographical reference to a chapter I'd apparently written in a volume I had apparently edited. Neither title of course exists. But they were both titles I COULD have written, and he emailed because he felt he had to check.

#ERGAReads | How much media attention does #biodiversity get? 📉 Not nearly enough. This study compares media & search interest in #COP15 vs #COP27 and... Taylor Swift 🎤🌍 Bridging this attention gap is crucial to achieving global #conservation goals. 🔗 rdcu.be/eiJ0A

Even though biodiversity loss is happening at an alarming rate, COP15 received significantly less media coverage and internet search interest than COP27 and Taylor Swift according to this study. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Der Klimabericht des Deutschen Wetterdiensts bestätigt, was unser #Hitze-Check 2024 auch gezeigt hat: Viele Städte sind an Sommertagen kaum noch lebenswert. Auf zubetonierten Plätzen und Straßen sucht man vergebens ein Schattenplätzchen. (1/2)

#ERGAReads | Integrating #GeneticDiversity into #NatureRestoration: this review highlights how genetic diversity -often overlooked in conservation policies- can strengthen the EU’s Nature Restoration Regulation and global #biodiversity efforts. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... @coalitioncongen.bsky.social

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

Last week, @elife.bsky.social posted the version of record of our #aDNA study on Iberian aurochs/cattle. We found a lot of hybridization, probably sex-biased, stabilizing at ~20% about 4000 years ago (co-author Colin Smith coined the term 'cowrochs'). Read more: elifesciences.org/articles/93076
