The physiological response of the Arctic key species Polar cod, Boreogadus saida, to hypoxia in a warming ocean: critical oxygen levels and swimming performance - BMC Zoology
Global warming has already caused a loss of nearly 50% Arctic sea-ice coverage since the 1980s. This sea-ice loss strengthens summer stratification of the ocean’s water column and, consequently, hypox...

Together with my new colleague Roven Rommel Fuentes @ribesresearch.bsky.social we are currently looking to hire a PhD student or postdoc in the area of computational genetics and machine learning.

Reasonable, minimal collective action for a better scholarly publishing ecosystem
First, think twice before sending your work to a for-profit publisher. In biological sciences there are journal lists like DAFNEE that aggregate society and not-for-profit journals. Services like PeerCommunityIn review and publish work FREE OF CHARGE, with journal sections covering the life sciences and more. Invest your APCs back into science. Second, IGNORE ALL REQUESTS from these publishers. Do not respond to requests to review. Do not respond to requests to head up special collections. Do not become an editor in these journals. Do not subsidise their business model.c

De pescador artesanal a postdoc. Hoy cierro un ciclo de dos años de investigación en el Alfred Wegener Institute. Mis agradecimientos a la beca von Humboldt por el apoyo durante este periodo. Pronto más noticias de #Scaling #Metabolism #CellSize #Macrophysiology

Received the letter rejecting my project proposal. Despite having won a von Humboldt fellowship for postdoc a year before completing my PhD, the committee found that my scientific contributions were not sufficiently novel. Ha ha ha....verguenza ajena

I'm advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) on understanding how temperature may alter the ecology and evolution of AMR. Might suits someone with a microbiology/wet lab background who wants to expand into ecoevo. Or vice versa! But interest more important than experience.
An advert for a PhD investigating how and why temperature may alter the ecology and evolution of antibiotic resistance.

First post here! 🎉 Randomly enough, today also marks 8 years since I got the offer to do my PhD @ribesresearch.bsky.social (back on 18 Nov 2016). How time flies!
