Hi Gregor, enjoy the new role! In Canada and many other countries, there’s a great need to increase the connections between schools and universities regarding learning and research; and yours seem like a great opportunity to do so! Stay connected.

Blas, this looks interesting; what did you mean by random in max correlation?

Yes, 'senior' colleagues should help their less 'senior' colleagues to go by the motto 'Say no, more'....which is, in my mind, more to the point than 'Say yes, less' (teasing here one of my dear colleagues in my department).

Totally! But academic cultures differ in how they see editorial work as “volunteer.” In Canada, service usually makes up ~20% of a faculty appointment, and editorial work counts. Funding bodies like NSERC-DG also treat it as a meaningful contribution.

I collect them 😀!
Though the lack of feedback may reflect the fact that many authors see journals less as "homes" for their papers and more as stepping-stones in a publishing strategy. I like to think that Oikos curates & nurtures research communities, rather than simply collect papers.
