Sian Henley and I have just had a NERC grant funded, looking at variation in Souther Ocean diatom traits under fluctuating light regimes. If you are a fearless experimentalist interested in working with us as a postdoc on this 3 year project, come chat with me at Ocean Sciences in Glasgow next week!

Did all of science peak in 2021 and is yet to recover from the pandemic? Jeremy Fox has a new post about this. I know my own productivity didn’t go up (altho citations did!) even in the 1st year of covid (existential fights for tenure can do that) & I’ve continued to struggle with motivation since.

Science (all of it) peaked in 2021

An ecologist friend* noticed that the annual number of times he’s been cited grew throughout his career up until 2021, when it peaked. It then declined for a couple of years straight. Then it…

I'm excited to share that our preprint is now available on bioRxiv! Our study challenges the widespread use of molecular genetic diversity as a predictor adaptive potential, with important implications for how genetic data is used to inform conservation decisions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nucleotide diversity is a poor predictor of short-term adaptive potential

A capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognised as a global conservation priority. Adaptation requires additive (heritable) genetic variatio...
