#PlasticsTreaty

Plastics "recycling" is largely bullshit & has been for >50 years

NO "last chance" for human, climate, biodiversity & ocean-harming plastics—REGULATE plastic production

figure showing nine data points (each for a distinct publisher) in a graph where Y-axis is our open science index and X-axis is academia friendliness (=proportion of published journals co-owned by an academic entity); strong positive relationship

Non-profit publishers (PLoS, Oxford, Cambridge) and publishers partnering a lot with academia (Wiley) are much more committed to open science than the others - MDPI being the worst by large. (4/5)

「Global North（北半球の先進国）の研究者、特に資金が豊富な研究室の研究者は科学の最先端を開拓しているとみなされるが、Global South（南半球の新興国や途上国）の研究者は事例研究の実施、ロジスティクスの支援、データ提供者とみなされることが多い 。 GS 研究者として自身の経験から、GS の GN 科学者が主導する研究には GS 研究者の参加が含まれることが多いが、共著や共同リーダーシップの手段としての彼らの貢献が不当に認められていないことを知っています。」

Thank you to everyone attending the "Writing and DEI Workshop" at RIKENS, organized by @ryosukeiritani.bsky.social. Gender equality in STEM is a global issue and we need to share our experiences and learn from one another. Thank you for sharing your stories and enthusiasm! 🙏 and @ITHEms, @JSPS 🇯🇵❤️

Jaccard dissimilarity in stochastic community models based on the species‐independence assumption A fundamental problem in ecology is understanding the changes in species composition among sites (i.e. beta-diversity). It is unclear how spatial heterogeneity in species occupancy across sites shape...

Using inclusive fitness and eco-evolutionary theory to model cultural evolution Baumard and André (2025) have suggested that cultural dynamics can be studied as a form of ecology. This provides a simpler unified approach to explai…
