Journal publishers *are* bundling your papers up in "data licensing agreements" for big tech companies to use for AI model training. Our publisher, T&F, got £75m from Microsoft for that last year alone.

We're experiencing an unbelievable deluge of submissions. At our journal we got ~200 per year in 2020. Last year it was 600. This year it's 800 with several months to go. So that's why we're slower to get stuff out for review.

Happy May Day eve from empty late-afternoon office!

What am I doing working late before holidays? Well, plating a few dozen Pythium samples from lettuce roots collected on Monday. @marikara.bsky.social shows a great example of possible symptoms: small roots and slow growth despite green color. 😊

On, mutta esim. Etelä-Suomessa ne metsät ovat nuoria ja vanha talouskäyttö näkyy: ne eivät tarjoa kotia luonnontilaisten metsien uhanalaisille lajeille. Alla on esimerkki Leivonmäen nuoresta kansallispuistosta. Nättiä metsää, mutta *vuosisatojen* päässä luonnontilasta.
