Royal Society shakes up publishing model
The UK Royal Society is converting 8 of its 10 journals to a ‘subscribe to open’ publishing model. Under the model, article processing charges (APCs) will be waived for these journals if enough libraries pay annual subscription fee.

Deconstructing so-called compassionate conservation.

I don't know exactly how the NIH works in terms of deciding/allocating funding. But I do know A LOT about how NSERC works in Canada. I expect there are similarities.

So glad you wrote this - Our students at u Florida do a fair amount - profs need to teach the necessary field design courses.
Where are all the field studies?
This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer.
A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork)

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Good work! I am thrilled my uni committed to bird safe windows in new construction (UF Gainesville). Advice? 1) reporting via iNat, (2) Find planners buying windows for buildings (5-10 years ahead) (3) use ur data to harass Uni for retrofit of existing windows. So glad you are doing this!
Alli Stanton (senior, K-State Biol) is leading a project to identify high-risk buildings for bird window-strikes. We created this sad visual summary of fall migration to help us talk to Uni admin.
