Do you do multiple driver/stressor experiments? @ravignettes and I wrote a paper a few months ago to help you make them even better. Please share, especially with students!. (OPEN ACCESS). (1/14).

This pernicious idea that publicly funded data belongs to a scientist in perpetuity needs to die. It holds up the entire scientific enterprise to benefit a few senior gatekeepers. I've encountered this in my field too. Many supposedly public datasets are not.

Did you know that Germany has its own large-scale population-based biobank? . The German National Cohort or NAKO @NAKO_Studie . If not, let me tell you why👇

Anyone working on how those crop TPCs change with CO2, nutrients, water availability, and so on? We've speculated about it in recent papers but I haven't seen good data.

This is wild. Farmers in Punjab may be shifting burning times to avoid satellite overpass times? It’s the kind of “well what if…” identification complaint R2 might make.

New preprint! A new direction for my research program: Bacteria can use antagonism to forage for nutrients in microbial communities. Shoot spearguns with toxins into other cells and leak out nutrients!.

To summarise this excellent thread: Satellites miss ~half of phytoplankton biomass and also do poorly at capturing blooms/peaks in abundance. Valuable work and I'm going to have to read the paper carefully.

(1/🧵) How much of Earth's phytoplankton do space satellites not "see"? Can chlorophyll from satellites reliably describe phytoplankton biomass? 🛰️🦠. In our new paper in @PNAS, we answer these questions with a fleet of undersea Argo robots 🤖🌊:.

To be clear, this is *not* a comment on the ongoing AMOC discussion, about which I don't know enough.

We in environmental science need to be more careful when using terms like 'tipping points' & 'regime shifts'. I'm not saying they don't exist, but too often we accept them based on thin evidence. "Tipping point" ought to mean more than "not a straight line".

Kudos to everyone involved in investigating this. By failing to quickly identify, stop & penalise fraud, we're wasting an unconscionable amount of public money and burning hard-earned trust in the scientific community. We need to police ourselves better.

Article linked if you'd like some background. The fraud (which has already led to retractions) has probably wasted tens of millions of dollars and countless hours. Academia runs on trust. We should celebrate, reward and defend those who uncover fraud.

Excellent news - the statisticians being sued for exposing fraud have won!. They were doing a valuable and unpopular public service. I'm pleased that academics rallied around to support them.

Gino's case against us has been dismissed. Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work. Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.
