Massive retreat of the #Corvatsch Glacier over the past 57 years. Hard to imagine that summer skiing once took place here for around 30 years. Today, only a small remnant of ice remains.

As I & @satavisha-de.bsky.social , move up the career ladder, the tampons in the bathroom may increase, but the women around us do not. Despite policies meant to patch its cracks, academia continued to sieve out women. We saw it, we heard it from our peers. So we looked for the literature.

One of ecology’s oldest questions - how does population growth change as density increases? - remains surprisingly contentious. In our new @plosbiology.org paper we contribute to the ongoing debate by applying the idea of “Growth-Density Inversion”: doi.org/10.1371/jour.... 1/6

Growth-density inversion in Escherichia coli reveals superlinear, not sublinear, density dependence
Sublinear density dependence has been widely reported empirically, but this is at odds with resource competition theory. This study uses a tightly controlled test in a microbial model system to reveal...
