In times like this it’s hard to remember to celebrate the small successes. Our comment in @NatureEcoEvo came out today, and I am extremely proud to have worked with great co-authors (@RikeBolam ,@eb_nilsen, @metanutter ). Link: nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Please do not eat farmed salmon this Christmas (or any day). Apart from destroying local ecosystems, it also destroys the livelihoods of people in West Africa, forcing many into dangerous migrations and modern slavery in Europe. #foodImperialism #food medium.com/the-new-climate/p…

Four hours left for you to predict code- and data-sharing in ecological journals WITHOUT a code-sharing policy before our results are out. Find the polls here. Thank you. #OpenScience #OpenCode #OpenData
Four years ago we showed that only 27% of articles published in ecological journals with a code-sharing policy made their code available, leading to only 21% reproducibility potential 📰 doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… We've followed up and we need your predictions! (polls below)

Average models may not be suitable when there is systematic variation among experts, but nuanced models can inform #conservation policies.📚🌿 Read more from Dorrough et al's recently published article at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14370

I’m struggling to find reviewers for a paper looking at large language models to classify research designs. Anyone fancy reviewing it?

Nigel Farage on the Jeremy Vine show backed Trump's plan to "make peace" in Ukraine. I started my reply in Russian to go with the Kremlin mood music... then in plain English I set out why our people lost so much blood in WW1 and WW2 for a principle, that countries should not invade other countries to steal their land.
