🚨Big news🚨

A Pocket Guide to Scientific Writing and Publishing is out🎉

This is the book I wish I’d had 20 years ago — short, practical, and designed to help researchers write & get their papers published

I hope it helps many
Please share with anyone who might benefit!

Thanks Phil! Sorry not to catch up in person!

My favourite talk of the day so far is Gianluca Cerullo who spoke about balancing different environmental and economic priorities for wood production at landscape scales. He and his team did masses of data collection in different production systems in Borneo to find that...

The effect of seeing scientists as intellectually humble on trust in scientists and their research - Nature Human Behaviour Across five pre-registered studies, Koetke et al. find that perceptions of scientists’ intellectual humility positively affect the perceived trustworthiness of scientists and their research.

Intellectual humility in scientists increases trust in the science - fascinating new study:

The climate and biodiversity crises are entwined, but we risk pitting one against the other In our race to cool the planet, we must not compromise the ecosystems on which we depend.

There are many ways in which the potential marriage of the goals tackling climate change and restoring biodiversity is a good thing. But also real dangers of an abusive relationship if biodiversity is subordinated to an overpowering drive for carbon sequestration and biofuels.

Would be great to be added too, thanks!
