Our preprint is out! We predicted deleterious mutations and reveal the genomic mechanisms underlying fitness variation in black grouse, a classic lekking bird. Check it out doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-557…
This will be my last post on X as I have now migrated to rebeccachen.bsky.social!

Just over a year ago, we hosted the @2023Behaviour congress. My colleagues and I took this opportunity to study inclusivity issues with regard to gender, nationality, LGBTQ and other identities. Check out the results in our preprint! dx.doi.org/10.32942/X20K8H

@rebeccas_chen and I can't wait for our symposium on Avian Ecological Epigenetics at #EOU2023. With talks by @KvanOers, @M_Tangili and Sameli Piirto. Join us today at 15:30 in Kerstins rum, especially if you want to learn something new!

Still buzzing from how well the #Behaviour2023 was received - from our EDI symposium to the social activities! Now it's time for a quick recharge before taking the train to #EOU2023 🐦⬛
19 Aug 2023
And that's a wrap! We can't begin to describe the amazing and overwhelmingly fabulous week of science we have all had. Big shoutout to all the organisers, delegates and everyone else who contributed to the succes of #Behaviour2023 #bielefeld

Excited to be facilitating a workshop on #IncreasingInclusivity in #HigherEd at #Behaviour2023. Can we change our behaviour and work to enhance inclusion in our institutions & classrooms?
Thanks to @rebeccas_chen, @tubariz786 & @OncuMaraci for prioritising DEI

Although mandatory open data policies don't seem to affect error correction POST-publication as reported by @iliasberberi and @dom_roche, our Matters Arising came out today where we emphasise their overlooked potential effects on PRE-publication error detection and correction🤔

Plus, errors detected pre-publication are more likely to get corrected compared to those detected post-publication, as it comes at little to no reputational cost. Check out the full article here! @BrejonEtienne nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Our discussions with the Stats Club on e.g. scientific integrity, reproducible coding, and the need for data / code reviewers have been super insightful. It also got us thinking about how we could test for a potential 'observer bias' in the way we code and analyse data🤔
