Continued thread

I fell that at #BlueSky there is more engagement between scientists and other people.

And is not that I don't follow tags about #Biology, #Biogeography, #Systematics, #PlantEcology, #Biogeography or #Taxonomy. I do, but the volume of Linux and programming things overwhelms them.

But is not like I don't like Mastodon. I love it. But is funny that (for me) there is this clearly defined boundary: #Mastodon for computer things, #BlueSky for science things.

Moths and Butterflies Australasia has issued a call for proposals for a one-off Early Career Research Grant of AUD $40,000 on #moths. It will support an emerging researcher in the field of entomology, with a focus on moths in the Australasian region.

I'm seeking grad students this round of admissions: see more at brianomeara.info/opportunities .

Like other good ecology and evolutionary biology programs, students making adequate progress are fully funded (through TA lines), we practice holistic admissions, and students are in a community.

Some of the topics folks in my lab have worked on:

#Phylogenetics
#Evolution
#Conservation
#Systematics
#TraitEvolution
#Diversification
#Dating
#Fish, #Birds, #Insects, #Plants, and more

Geekdom for good: @SystBiol has a vote on its code of ethics, and to show how the constitution will change, it's done as a #GitHub pull request: github.com/systbiol/docs/pull/ .

I hope all members get the email and vote for the change -- having a clear set of rules and procedures will really help make things fair for all.

A LOT of work went into it across three evolution societies: evolutioncodeofethics.org/

New on Entomology Today: As insect systematists adopt Artificial Intelligence as a new tool, it is becoming clear that we still need the humans who crawl through bushes, sift leaf litter, and peer into museum drawers to be the arbiters of what is biological truth versus what is an artifact of an algorithm. #entomology #insects #systematics #AI entomologytoday.org/2023/09/14

Support is urgently requested to help keep Kew Herbarium at Kew.

The Director and Trustees intend to move the #Herbarium over an hour away from its current location at the heart of Kew.

Separating the herbarium from the gardens, library, and laboratories will cripple the ongoing taxonomic work at a time when we are facing a dire biodiversity crisis.

License plate reader software identified a car as likely to be a drug trafficker due to many short trips from Massachusetts to different parts of NY state. It was right in this case, but this is also a pattern created by researchers in #Systematics , #Ecology , and #Biology more generally doing fieldwork. I wonder if this results in more targeting of such researchers, which has #FieldworkSafety implications
