Can all my fellow scientists please review at least two times the number of papers you publish? It is so hard to get reviewers these days, and that really hurts young scientists especially!

What do you all think of somebody arguing back against Editorial decisions? And who do you see do it? (I've only ever had senior white men do that. Is it a pattern, or is that small sample size?)

40. The best idea in the world is worthless if people can't understand you. A mediocre idea* presented outstandingly will go over better than an outstanding idea presented mediocrely. (*grants, papers, seminars, talks, conversations etc etc)

We already knew that the phylogenetic distance between an insect’s native and non-native hosts was a key predictor of impact on insects that specialize on conifers… doi.org/10.1002/ece3... …or specialize on hardwoods… doi.org/10.1007/s105... …but what about generalists?…

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

I was interviewed by @msjpauly.bsky.social for @motherjones.com regarding that awful gamete size "sex" executive order. A bit of an explainer here of why the science is so bad, and why that's dangerous:
motherjones.com
Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications
"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"
