Proud to present: Suitcase Science, a new outreach format containing 6 assignments to take on a journey to schools in the region, to teach kids about terns, how to study them, their fascinating behaviour and some of the things that threaten them. Wanna book us? Drop me a line. :-)

I am looking for a PhD student to join my new Socio-Eco-Evo group, hosted in Katie Peichel's Evolutionary Ecology Division @ University of Bern. We're offering a fully funded 4-year position, studying social plasticity and behavioral adaptation among stickleback in Greenland. Please share around!

Co-authorship 'rules' are tricky and often unfair. Isn't it crazy that Franz X. Süssmayr, who wrote about half of the so-called "Mozart Requiem" and Franco Alfano, who wrote a third of Turandot, didn't even make it to the Acknowledgements...? 🤔

Coercive citations
Reviewer citation requests can turn peer review into a transaction rather than an objective critique of the article.

We've been teaching a course where students need to find a question, design an expmnt, collect field data, analyse, write it up and then assess each other through peer review. This is the first year when this fell apart due to AI use at all stages (but data collection) to replace critical thinking.

Controlled settings may offer limited insight into the complexities of ageing in natural and variable ecosystems, and why (and how) ageing patterns vary so widely across individuals, populations, and species.

I politely declined MDPI Birds’ “editorial board” invitation. Twice. No reply, just more invites. I now realise I was the academic equivalent of someone wiring money to a Nigerian widow... Lesson learned. Spam filter on.

Wheatears are very cool (and sometimes hard to ID in the field). This is an interesting paper describing the genetic background behind their colour variation. Good stuff for another daily avian hybridisation story @jenteo.bsky.social :)
