Brian McGill argues that we should review 2 papers for each submission we make to a journal. If your paper gets rejected and you end up submitting to 3 different journals, then you owe the community 6 reviews. I agree with the general principle https://t.co/dZBhkEEbik...

A weird thing happened in scientific publishing during COVID. And it hasn’t gone away. Publications went up 30-50%. And responses to requests to review went down 30-50%. I know the actual statistic…

It is our pleasure to name this species, Anacaena fosteri, in honour of Professor Garth Foster, a water beetler extraordinaire on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

Getting a Master's degree is gaining experience. The research, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills developed are highly valuable. Also, there's no such thing as being 'overqualified' if you're applying for positions aligned with your education level!!!
Getting a masters without job experience is one of those bad decisions that isn't talked about enough. Can't be unemployed and overqualified.

Happy to see our joint South Africa/France (PROTEA) project coming into shape, lots of interesting work on freshwater shrimps (large branchiopods and caridean shrimps) with @SamySomething, @VdeMaz and @rabet_nicolas. We thank the @NRF_News for the funding for the SA side.

I signed too.
There are attempts to change scientific species names because they are considered inappropriate. This document, which I signed with more than 1500 botanists and zoologists, explains four main reasons for preserving the stability of taxonomic nomenclature. https://t.co/hIVJi3a9Hx

The Kalahari Sands stretch from the equator to South Africa, concealing green islands. With support from the Bezos Earth Fund and others, we're researching Angola's peatlands to assess their carbon storage potential. 🔗 Follow this link to learn more: https://t.co/yEf6rYIU0m
