Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals.

Now that ChatGPT o1 actually supports image upload I thought I would give it that Mensa Norway IQ test once more, test.mensa.no/Home/Test/en, but out of the 35 puzzles it only manages to solve 20 within the given 25 min time limit & then ends with an IQ below 100. :-(

Moths of varying sizes, shapes and colors are painted on a white background with shadows beneath them so it looks like they're ready to fly off. They range from the large Polyphemus moth to tiny micro moths.
What's your favorite insect? If I were to count which I've painted the most- it would have to be moths...
I combined many of the moths I've painted in my sketchbooks and made the design below... #SciArt #insects
I know and you are great in your job.

I guess I should re-post from the Bird Site "The Rules For Academic Success here":
I always get asked for advice about starting/surviving the tenure track. Here are the rules I've found useful. Thought I'd put it out there for the masses...

A woman stands in a hallway and wears a black dress with a pattern featuring many drawings of various insects, and she holds a green tote bag with that also features a variety of insect drawings. She has curly hair and wears a conference badge. Another person is visible in the background, walking past.
A bearded man wears a patterned shirt featuring hercules beetles with wings spread. He poses smiling, holding an entomology booklet and giving a thumbs up. He has a conference badge with the name "Chris" on it. People in the background are at an event in a large hall.
A person with long curly hair wears a blue and gray shirt with "TOX" written on it, above an image depicting the silhouette of a small mosquito larva with the silhouette of a much larger mosquito larva below it, mimicking the poster for the movie Jaws. The person is standing in a building with modern architecture and light fixtures.
Two people standing indoors, smiling at the camera. One is wearing a collared shirt with flowers and luna moths, black pants, and a name tag. The other is wearing a purple shirt, leggings featuring a honeycomb pattern and honey bees, a plaid jacket, and a name tag.
