Poster for 90 minute workshop on HOW TO DESIGN BETTER EXPERIMENTS, by Mridul Thomas & Ravi Ranjan. Details: September 23rd 16:00 CEST ; 14:00 UTC Description: Experimental designs can make or break an experiment. A good experiment has a clear goal and efficiently uses experimental resources to achieve that goal. In this workshop, we will review what experiments are for, basic and advanced principles of designing experiments, and how to use simulations to evaluate designs before actually doing the experiment. We’ll do a moderate amount of coding in R and so experience with this would be helpful but is not required. We intend to have small-group discussions to help participants develop their own experiments, and encourage participants to think of a specific question they would like to answer with an experiment.

@raviranjan.bsky.social & I are teaching a free online workshop with on experimental design for environmental scientists on the 23rd.

We'll focus on using simulations to evaluate how well different experimental designs help achieve your goals.

What was supposed to do: writing a talk.
What I actually did: figure out that 'bananas' is a portmanteau for 'good pineapple' in French.
Now you know. 🍍

Kellogg Biological Station is searching for a new Director! KBS is unique in its ability to integrate lab and field research, as well as integrating fundamental research in ecology and evolution with applications to environmental problems. Questions to me or the search chairs. Please apply!

I'd like to be added - thanks!

A starter pack of people working on thermal biology or metabolic theory. Presently a very short list, but I know y'all are out there - please tell me if you'd like to be added!

(Or if you'd like to be taken off)

Ever wondered how trophic interactions affect how phytoplankton adapt to warming? Check out David Anderson’s #ASLO24 talk on Wednesday (9:30 am, session CS26B). Stoichiometry, grazing, temperature, evolution, beautifully parameterized theory – something for everyone! davidmerrillanderson.weebly.com

Know any queer high school students in CT, MA, or RI that might be interested in a free one day Queer Science conference? This is organized by queer scientists (like me!) for future queer scientists.

Please share widely! Matt Johnson (WHOI) is recruiting a postdoc to work on our newly #NSFfunded grant exploring the subcellular mechanisms of #kleptoplasty in #Mesodinium. Please join us! #unicornjob🦄 careers-whoi.icims.com/jobs/2305/po...

First reaction: "Wow, you really can see stars in totality!" Turns out actually I need to clean my screen.

Beautiful images!

Thanks for coming out!

I am recruiting a PhD student to work on microbial communities in Arctic ecosystems. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in combining field, lab, and computational approaches. If you are interested, message me for more information.

Our group in Geneva has a 2-year postdoc position to classify phytoplankton from images and analyse time series. We are specifically looking for experience with machine learning / image classification, not necessarily in ecology/phytoplankton.

Please share!

The #Biodiversity & #Conservation Genomics training program is accepting a new cohort of
@uconn.bsky.social undergrads starting this Summer! Integrated research w/ @UConnMCB @uconneeb.bsky.social - sequencing IUCN Red List species @cgsg.bsky.social with @nanopore.bsky.social - apply by March 11th!

This is a very cool program here at UConn, please share!

My kids are on that wavelength, too. Especially if rainbow.

WORD, STOP TELLING ME TO RELAX! (Also known as, how's your snow day going?)

"Oh my, what a helpful kitty-narwhal!" he shouted down the stairs, while hiding in his bedroom, eating discount peanut M&Ms and reviewing unending proposals. #AcademicParenting

We will run a weekly online seminar on resource competition theory and related ecological theories next semester (from the week of January 8 to the week of April 15, time noon-1:30PM Eastern, day TBD).

"Stats on a plane" - could be a block buster!

A complement to "recruit locally" is to find and support ways for people who need/want to work remotely to do so (obviously easier with some types of work).

Needing to move is a huge barrier to broadening representation in the sciences Science will be more inclusive and equitable when we stop expecting people to uproot their lives every few years

Imagine our profession was built so that you could advance your career without moving all the time. Isn't this a huge piece of the equity and access problem? Yes, it is.

Oh no! (+ yay Ed!)

I think this is fitting as my first post on this platform. This is huge news for me - it took a long time to get here - but it is finally here! My first first-author paper!
