Our latest #research with @ccioannou.bsky.social has been published in @commsbio.bsky.social ! Read here 👉 rdcu.be/d9J2u We used real-time tracking and a robot-heron to investigate how state-behaviour #feedbacks influence anti-predator #escape responses in #fish 🐟.

On the left, a diagram showing fish escape response from predator step-by-step. On the right, two example plots showing the trajectory of the fish with two lines (tracked head & tail separately)

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

🔧 Moving Forward Clearer, accessible data/code-sharing policies are key. Researchers, journals, and institutions must collaborate. Recruiting dedicated data editors can help ensure compliance and improve quality. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service”

Modern scientific publishing puts too much significance on the journal's perceived prestige and not on the quality of the science. This author went so far as to remove journal titles from their CV. Would you do the same? #SciPub #AcademicSky 🧪

Changing how published papers are displayed could shift the focus from simple metrics to research quality.
