β New blog post! Why You Should Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time
jenteottenburghs.wordpress.com/2026/01/28/w...
Most courses on time management are a waste of time. They might offer useful techniques, but they often miss a crucial point. Productivity isnβt just about time. It is about energy.

Starting the week with an unexpected milestone. My Avian Hybrids website has been visited more than 500,000 times. π€©

Although I don't really care about these statistics, it is nice to see some attention for avian hybridization and other #ornithology topics.

β Scientific stories: Why academia should move from publication metrics to narratives
jenteottenburghs.wordpress.com/2026/01/21/s...
Inspired by a recent Nature column by Adrian Barnett, I argue that publishing less isnβt the real solution. We need more focus on scientific narratives.

I hurt my ankle. So, I cannot go for long walks during the weekend. π A good excuse to do some more reading.π
I just finished "The Serengeti Rules" by Sean B. Carroll. A nice overview of molecular and ecological mechanisms, such as negative feedback and cascading effects.

Nice to see a Crash Course on "scientific thinking". π
I used to be a huge fan of this YouTube-channel, but lately I found them influenced too much on certain ideologies instead of scientific facts. And some of the new hosts were not my cup of tea.
Looking forward to this series though!
