AI generated text could be a leveler for scientists not privileged to find writing in English easy. (But you still need to think about what you want it to say!). sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Look at this great opportunity to work on insect cold tolerance with an excellent mentor in a top-notch department! Also... it's in Denmark, so it'll be well-paid! 10/10 would recommend. phd.nat.au.dk/for-applicants…

We just scratch the surface in this, but it's a great dataset which we invite anyone and everyone to explore! Plenty of new candidate genes and process to throw into hypotheses about your favourite diapause model.

Hey insect physiology folks - the call for symposia for @ice2024kyoto_jp is out ice2024.org/scientific-secti…. If you do stuff similar to me and want to coordinate to be in a symposium on environmental physiology or overwintering, let me know.

What's truly terrifying is that everyone here including @WesternU’s "chief digital information officer" doesn't seem to grasp the fact that handing in something YOU DIDN'T WRITE as your own work is already plagiarism and therefore prohibited & unethical
ChatGPT has taken the world, and post-secondary education, by storm. It’s sparked fears of academic dishonesty becoming more prevalent than ever. But is it really wrong for a robot to do your homework? westerngazette.ca/features/i…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but (almost) all journal revision deadlines are imaginary. I just changed all the remaining December deadlines for CRIS @cois_cris to mid January. Authors: whatever your beliefs, enjoy a break from the reminderbots for a couple of weeks!

Also, whenever you need an extension on a deadline, it doesn't hurt to ask. Some deadlines are hard, but oh so many can be tweaked.
