Love it! We need more creativity in scientific presentations

as much as a SLAC person.

I started using E&E ideas to study soccer performance just because I thought it'd be fun. It's been surprising me how much more I'm enjoying doing my 'normal' fish work now, too, so there's an interaction effect there as well.

The incentives issue I agree with, but luckily it doesn't impact me ...

I was born in Argentina during the last dictatorship. This is *all* eerily similar to the way things were back then

career milestone unlocked: frantically finishing my conference talk hours before my presentation

It may not be much, but @kalamazoocollege.bsky.social is the only Michigan SLAC on this list...

They could also walk over to the expert on foreign policy in the department of American Studies

Fuck Tom, I'm so sorry to hear. Hugs to my fave Steady Eddy

🎉microPublications EEB is looking for new editors!

-Editorial load is extremely light (but we work quickly)
-Awesome format and journal, serves the EEB community well IMO
-We cover all of EEB so we're looking for breath/generalists/complimentary expertise
-DM me if interested (or suggest someone)!

EXCLUSIVE: Email from a Federal Worker at EPA to Lee Zeldin I have obtained a copy of - and permission to publish - an email sent from Jason Poe to the EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. Jason has asked me to share this email, along with his name, with the public.

If you haven't read this scathing email from an EPA fed to Lee Zeldin yet, do yourself a solid and check it out: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Pyramid is another great game show to review concepts

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

This is such an astute observation

REUs/Summer Research 2024 List (Ecology and Evolution)

I started gathering a list for REUs/Summer research opportunities for undergraduate students in Ecology/Conservation/Evolutionary Biology. Feel share to share with any undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in *PAID* research.

... without connecting something to fish

It's Human Physiology (yeah, I know*), so it lends itself to applying knowledge they have gained over the course to solve something.

* it's probably the least Human Phys course in the history of biology. We also do a lot of Darwinian medicine and I can't go a full class period ...

I’m having students create an escape room/murder mystery for the others to solve (with the goal being to integrate concepts from the whole term)

To all my Kzoo peeps

Reminder: There is a venue for microPublications in Ecology and Evolution!

Don't bury results in a supplemental file. Publish them as a micropub!

#Evolution #PlantScience 🌍 🧪 #Conservation

Published in 1963.

Do you work in ecology/evolution? Did you do a study that is too small to publish as a full manuscript? Negative results? Part of a larger effort? Consider publishing in microPublication Biology: EEB!

www.micropublication.org/journals/bio...

Short papers, one figure. And we peer review! Please RT

Or use a postcard for added old-timeyness

This is also painfully true at an international level

We are thrilled to announce the launch of an Ecology and Evolution section of microPublication Biology! Please support this new venture as an author, reviewer, and/or promoter! microPublication Biology publishes single, validated findings that may be novel, reproduced, negative, or are the result of small projects that may not fit into a larger article. The major goal of microPublication Biology is to rapidly place research findings into the public domain. microPublication Biology only accepts original, high-quality data and work, independent of perceived impact. Review and publication standards align with COPE ethical guidelines. All published articles are published in English and are peer-reviewed by at least one expert reviewer. Articles typically include a short abstract, a main section approximately 1000 words in length, a methods section, one figure (which can have multiple panels), and tables if appropriate.

What types of papers are suitable for microPublication? - Exciting new research findings or methods that you want to publish rapidly in the public domain. - Experimental findings derived from small projects. - Preliminary data to cite in grant proposals. - Findings included in an existing publication as “unpublished observation” or “data not shown”. - Publishing results instead of burying them in supplemental materials. - Nature notes and natural history observations. - Successful or unsuccessful replication of published work. - Cautionary information. - Negative results. - If the amount of your data does not fit within one microPublication, you can prepare several submissions, each focused on an independent result, and tie the articles together with an Integrations article, which serves as a summary narrative article (see here for an example).

Agreed, cool job. The department and the students are even cooler
