Back from summer holiday 
Summer, where are you….#finland #oulu #snowfall
2nd day of teaching in newly-established Biogeography of Freshwater advanced level course. This is so much fun with motivated students!! #Biogeography #Teaching #UniversityofOulu
I have been disappointed with Mastodon. Much less interesting content. Twitter keeps going, not as much interesting tweets as before but still better.
On peer review in #academia and how the process might evolve. I found this a helpful read. Personally, I've been an Associate Editor for over a decade for a society journal that is published by Elsevier, and for a while I have realised it is time for a change, but to what? https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00403-8

Stop the peer-review treadmill. I want to get off

Faced with a deluge of papers, journal editors are struggling to find willing peer reviewers.

Submitted #ERC CoG application today. Exhausted and happy that it is over Life can begin again 😎

Proud be part of a recent paleoecological study, where we showed that dinosaurs were thriving until an asteroid wiped them out, 66 million yrs ago. Thus, dinos were not in decline when the asteroid hit. Led by @macroecoevoale, Jorge Garcia-Giron and Stephen Brusatte

Poking my head back in to note that when I left twitter, I put a link to my account on mastodon in my profile.

If click on the link, you get an "unsafe link" warning. This is complete and utter bullshit, of course.

Elon Musk is blocking all Mastodon-related accounts and links.

@paulpeace Thanks! Nothing yet on agri land vs. geodiv. Intensive agriculture probably has negative effects on geodiversity -similar to that of biodiversity. Good for you to point out this issue.
