YouTube video by Nate Hagens Mass Climate Migration & The Rise of Uninhabitable Regions with Sunil Amrith | TGS 192

Given the deranged turn in the public conversation around migration lately, I highly encourage everyone listen to this interview with environmental historian Prof. Sunil Amrith, on the history of human movement.

It provides much needed perspective & more than a little sanity to the discussion!

Don't forget to register for our Hackathon event! We'll be discussing and testing a protocol to check whether published data/code is actually reproducible...

Registration closes on the 15th September 🕤

Ros Atkins on...24 hours on Elon Musk's X timeline The BBC's Analysis editor, Ros Atkins, investigates Elon Musk's recent posts on X about grooming gangs - and looks at how one day unfolded on his timeline.

“Musk is amplifying a slew of incorrect and misleading information. His concern about the subject doesn’t extend to being truthful when addressing it.”

How is this consistent with him retaining fellowship of the @royalsociety.org?

Lovely to see Devi Satarkar’s first DPhil paper out in print

Yes, Climate Change is Raising the Risks—and Stakes—of Extreme Wildfires Rising temperatures, parched forests, and shifting precipitation patterns are fueling severe wildfires with unprecedented impacts. There is still time to act.

Climate change is creating warmer, drier conditions that cause fire seasons in some regions like western North America to last longer and be more active. Read more:

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

We've now got the green light to revamp this booklet and we're looking for volunteers to write/peer review sections. Express your interest here: forms.gle/ZYFLPaC3k2RF.... We want to feature diverse ECR writers from across the world. Women of colour are especially encouraged!

That’s a wrap!

There’s nothing quite like seeing ecologists and practitioners come together, sparking new ideas and collaborations. We can’t wait to bring this energy to Edinburgh next year.

Until then, stay connected and stay inspired!

Wow 😱: The western arctic caribou herd has largely abandoned its southern ranges as winter survival has worsened there.

In the simpler days of 2015/16 we wrote the BES Guide to Reproducible Code: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/wp-content/u.... It’s time for a refresh! Would you like to help? I’m looking for people to review the existing booklet by 5th December.

This is an AMAZING public service - thank you!

More context for 🧪.

New statistical methods accounting for spatial, temporal and evolutionary non-independence lead to big questions about global trends in biodiversity and improved prediction at smaller scales. Paper is OA so grab it if biodiversity things float your boat!

Check this out. Interesting times for biodiversity analyses.
