Null results matter, but too often, they never see the light of day.
When journals only publish splashy findings, we lose valuable science.
That's why I'm excited about 2-pagers at @StacksJournal.bsky.social. Streamlined publishing for results that deserve to be shared.

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them
Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Behoud de NTR en haar programma’s
Minister Bruins van OCW ziet geen toekomst voor de NTR binnen de publieke omroep. Maar zonder de NTR geen onafhankelijke programmering op het gebied van educatie, jeugd, cultuur, wetenschap en informatie. Essentieel voor een goed geïnformeerde, inclusieve en democratische samenleving.

For a lecture, I am looking for examples of current amateur natural history collectors who focus specifically on the urban realm. For example, a shell, fly, or plant collector who specialises on the biota of one or multiple inner cities (rather than their surroundings). Any suggestions?

It's a cyanobacteria on the outside, fungus on the inside.
Well, sort of. The fungus lives in the extracellular sheath produced by the Cyanobacteria, and therefore are not really true endophytes. But the cyanos do create the external structure.
