Super hyped that our project *PREDICT – Platform for REsilient Data Integration and Coordinated Forecasting Tools* is among the selected ones - oscars-project.eu/news/2nd-osc... We will demystify complex ecological predictions to make them usable for decision makers. @ebdonana.bsky.social
2nd OSCARS Open Call concluded with 12 projects selected | OSCARS
The OSCARS consortium decided for a complementary second call with a residual budget of only 3 millions €.

Biological modeling is organized inquiry, but how should we think about the process?

My new paper in #EcologyLetters argues that we should model like experimentalists: define treatments, measure responses, validate, perturb, repeat.

Do you agree?
