As I browse around, I keep an eye out for (what I think) are surprising facts. This 2021 paper estimated that the USA, China and the UK spend USD 2.5 billion on peer review, based on the contribution made by researchers. 🧵

My department (EEOB at Iowa State) is hiring! See isu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/IowaStateJob...

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Over a month ago, Ecological Indicators returned us either the wrong editorial decision, or the wrong reviews. In a month of emails with Elsevier, we have been unable to get any help. The last time I published there, they also returned the wrong review to us. What is going on there?

📣 We're hiring! Great opportunity for someone to join us in the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development at the University of Reading working on #crop #protection #agronomy. See jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... for all the details.

Yet another way the GRFP will bias towards financially secure, non-working, networked students from large, well-resourced institutions. sigh. I *know* NSF POs understand the difficulties obtaining official transcripts, and certainly in the timeframe available. They might not have control over this.

I'm taking applications for a PhD student to work in my lab for just shy of two more weeks! Happy to talk to interested candidates about potential projects.

How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability). 1/2

After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.
