Just in time for #FossilFriday! Our paper is out today in Palaeontology @thepalass.bsky.social
Ten simple rules to follow when cleaning occurrence data in palaeobiology 🧹🦕

Another great @palaeoverse.bsky.social team effort to offer a community resource!
Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Really happy to see chapter 2 of my PhD published today in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social. DeepDiveR is an R package to assist with deep learning inference of biodiversity change through time 🤿🦊 Thanks to @bethanyjallen.bsky.social & Daniele Silvestro for the collaboration

The CPEG & CPB meeting is officially underway! 🎉
We kicked things off with two fantastic workshop sessions:
📊 R-based open data science in palaeobiology and ecology
🧠 Deep learning for macroevolutionary analyses
Big thanks to all our speakers and participants - spot yourself below!

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

🦏🦣🦌 LARGE paper alert!!! We tracked 60 million years of large herbivore evolution—over 3,000 fossil species—to uncover how ecosystems have changed and reorganized through time. What we found might help us understand the next big tipping point 🧵👇

Elisabeth Vrba, the musketeer of macroevolution
"Curious, brilliant, and fiercely independent—Elisabeth Vrba dedicated her life to understanding the great forces shaping the history of life."
Prof Dame Alison Etheridge: 'In spite of appearances, everyone is insecure and no-one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question. Most people in the room probably wanted to ask the same thing but were too embarrassed - asking will win you many friends!'
Prof Erin Saupe: I wish I would have realised sooner that it's OK to be wrong in science, and that admitting you were wrong is a strength, not a weakness. Science should be about testing your assumptions and re-thinking paradigms, not just 'getting things right'.
Prof Daniela Bortoletto: 'That it's okay to say no and set boundaries. You don't need to feel obligated to take on every task, especially those disproportionately assigned to women. Focus on roles that support your scientific and professional growth.'
Prof Tamsin Mather: 'A career is a marathon not a sprint and there will be times things feel better than others or where life has priority. Be patient when things feel tough. Taking time off is so important, not just because work isn't everything, but to stay creative. I've had my best ideas on my bike, kayak, or up a mountain!'
'No one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question.'
For #IDWGS2025, the Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division asked scientists from across the faculty about the advice they wish they had received at the beginning of their careers ⬇️
You now have until Feb 15 to submit your abstract!! Registration is free for students :)

CPEG and CPB are coming up next year in Zurich, should be a great opportunity to hear cool science from palaeontologists and ecologists
Might be biased, but the workshops sound pretty cool too 🦕✨

Well for my first official post here I'm excited to say that the first chapter of my dissertation on Glyptotherium migration during GABI is out today in Ecography. Huge thanks to @mirantakouvari.bsky.social at @graphicssci.bsky.social who helped with this figure!
