Another great @palaeoverse.bsky.social team effort to offer a community resource!

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

How many mammal species are there now? Updates and trends in taxonomic, nomenclatural, and geographic knowledge.

Really happy to see chapter 2 of my PhD published today in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social. DeepDiveR is an R package to assist with deep learning inference of biodiversity change through time 🤿🦊 Thanks to @bethanyjallen.bsky.social & Daniele Silvestro for the collaboration

The CPEG & CPB meeting is officially underway! 🎉

We kicked things off with two fantastic workshop sessions:

📊 R-based open data science in palaeobiology and ecology
🧠 Deep learning for macroevolutionary analyses

Big thanks to all our speakers and participants - spot yourself below!

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

🦏🦣🦌 LARGE paper alert!!! We tracked 60 million years of large herbivore evolution—over 3,000 fossil species—to uncover how ecosystems have changed and reorganized through time. What we found might help us understand the next big tipping point 🧵👇

# CPEGCPB25

CPEG and CPB are coming up next year in Zurich, should be a great opportunity to hear cool science from palaeontologists and ecologists

Might be biased, but the workshops sound pretty cool too 🦕✨

Well for my first official post here I'm excited to say that the first chapter of my dissertation on Glyptotherium migration during GABI is out today in Ecography. Huge thanks to @mirantakouvari.bsky.social at @graphicssci.bsky.social who helped with this figure!
