🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

My op-ed in the Guardian

1/2

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say it. That’s why I resigned

It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

The Guardian

Highly important paper about projected changes in marine biodiversity under different climate scenarios. Based on information on >33000 species and scenarios for 7 environmental factors, Doro Hodapp and colleagues show that we need to expect massive turnover characterized by reductions in suitable habitat size and separation into smaller sub-areas.

Just a thought, I would like to share, as the pandemic situation allows for many things again:

We should consider planning scientific meetings as hybrid events whenever possible!

This is tremendously important for people who cannot (or do not want to) travel, e.g. for family, health, political or environmental reasons, to stay connected.

Let's make inclusion a reality!

Human actions are changing the environment at an unprecedented rate. Plant and animal populations must try to keep up with these human-accelerated changes, often by trying to rapidly evolve tolerance to changing conditions.

My new preprint is now live: assembling and analyzing the the genome of a non-model apicomplexan parasite. Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE) infects the charismatic #monarchbutterfly. And this little protist is tiny: fewer than 3,000 genes in less than 9 Megabases!

A well-preserved 319-million-year-old brain of the extinct vertebrate Coccocephalus wildi provides insights into neural anatomy deep within the phylogeny of ray-finned fish.
