What was supposed to do: writing a talk.
What I actually did: figure out that 'bananas' is a portmanteau for 'good pineapple' in French.
Now you know. 🍍

A starter pack of people working on thermal biology or metabolic theory. Presently a very short list, but I know y'all are out there - please tell me if you'd like to be added!

(Or if you'd like to be taken off)

Ever wondered how trophic interactions affect how phytoplankton adapt to warming? Check out David Anderson’s #ASLO24 talk on Wednesday (9:30 am, session CS26B). Stoichiometry, grazing, temperature, evolution, beautifully parameterized theory – something for everyone! davidmerrillanderson.weebly.com

Our group in Geneva has a 2-year postdoc position to classify phytoplankton from images and analyse time series. We are specifically looking for experience with machine learning / image classification, not necessarily in ecology/phytoplankton.

Please share!

Imagine our profession was built so that you could advance your career without moving all the time. Isn't this a huge piece of the equity and access problem? Yes, it is.
Needing to move is a huge barrier to broadening representation in the sciences
Science will be more inclusive and equitable when we stop expecting people to uproot their lives every few years
