Sifting through cross-site @uslter.bsky.social data, researchers found plots with greater biodiversity were more resistant to extreme climatic events. But the key dimensions of biodiversity that helped them cope in wet years weren’t the same as those for dry years.

Yeah, that's how I feel right now 😬. But maybe a better answer would be that every time you step into a new role you feel not on top of thing for a while until things start to settle and you get used to your new reality.
Not on top of it 😅
OK y'all asking for advice: When i was a little grad student I always had 1 project in development, 1 project being written up, and 1 project in review. Now as a postdoc and finishing up my PhD stuff I have about 3x that many projects in all those stages. How do you stay on top of it all?
Hi!
I'm not here very often, but I just launched my brand new lab website! I'm also hiring a !!! three-year !!! Postdoc. Interest form link can be found under "The Team" section.

Finally! Here is our perspective on why cooperation maximizes diversity and how it promotes additional coexistence mechanisms that do not occur under competition

I'm doing interviews with students with ADHD and after the interview I told them that I had ADHD and the student was like "I've never seen an ADHD adult be so successful...I guess I really can become a doctor" 🥹🥹🥹
Tell your students about your struggles, I promise it has an impact.

We have been fortunate to have Grady Welsh for the last two years, but he will soon be off to bigger and better things pursuing a PhD. While we could never replace Grady, we are eager to hire someone new to help support our ever-growing lab!
Stony Brook E&E has just posted a postdoc-bridge-to-tenure-track-faculty focused on ecological and/or evolutionary responses to global change. Spread the word!

Context here is grasslands and savannas are often treated as degraded forests, which means restoration targets a forested state. But in these ancient systems restoration to forest would itself be ecological degradation.

Let's talk about "grumpy lab person". Many labs have them. With an eye to keeping science at its most rigorous, they cross the line into criticism that's too harsh. They are the ones who risk killing your scientific spirit. They are reviewer 2. /1

Inspired in this iconic Guarda course, a group of four Latin American researchers organized the South American version: #EvoSur. The masterminds behind this amazing idea: Paco Majic (Uruguay) @hhydrochaerus.bsky.social, Santi Herrera (Colombia), Caua Westmann (Brasil) and Ana Maria Agapito (Perú).
Here is a little natural history observation that my brother and I made in the farm were we grew up and joined forces with Emilie Snell-Rood to help us make sense of the pattern.
it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know
this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science
VERY excited to start my own lab today at @IISERPune!

This looks like a really cool opportunity that combines research and teaching with an amazing mentor!
Was reminded on a beautiful trip to the Klamath River today how intensely we would love to collaborate with folks studying pollinators in this space. Amazing restoration of the reservoirs with so much going on. N CA and OR pollinator peeps, we have veg data and would love to chat!
