Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals.

Now that ChatGPT o1 actually supports image upload I thought I would give it that Mensa Norway IQ test once more, test.mensa.no/Home/Test/en, but out of the 35 puzzles it only manages to solve 20 within the given 25 min time limit & then ends with an IQ below 100. :-(

What's your favorite insect? If I were to count which I've painted the most- it would have to be moths...
I combined many of the moths I've painted in my sketchbooks and made the design below... #SciArt #insects
Moths of varying sizes, shapes and colors are painted on a white background with shadows beneath them so it looks like they're ready to fly off. They range from the large Polyphemus moth to tiny micro moths.

I guess I should re-post from the Bird Site "The Rules For Academic Success here":

I always get asked for advice about starting/surviving the tenure track. Here are the rules I've found useful. Thought I'd put it out there for the masses...

This list gets longer all the time

The #EntoFashion never disappoints at the ESA Annual Meeting! #EntSoc24
A woman stands in a hallway and wears a black dress with a pattern featuring many drawings of various insects, and she holds a green tote bag with that also features a variety of insect drawings. She has curly hair and wears a conference badge. Another person is visible in the background, walking past. A bearded man wears a patterned shirt featuring hercules beetles with wings spread. He poses smiling, holding an entomology booklet and giving a thumbs up. He has a conference badge with the name "Chris" on it. People in the background are at an event in a large hall. A person with long curly hair wears a blue and gray shirt with "TOX" written on it, above an image depicting the silhouette of a small mosquito larva with the silhouette of a much larger mosquito larva below it, mimicking the poster for the movie Jaws. The person is standing in a building with modern architecture and light fixtures. Two people standing indoors, smiling at the camera. One is wearing a collared shirt with flowers and luna moths, black pants, and a name tag. The other is wearing a purple shirt, leggings featuring a honeycomb pattern and honey bees, a plaid jacket, and a name tag.
