Small mammals are moving to higher elevations in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia, likely in response to climate change. #mammals #ClimateChange
Our article is out! A @FieldMuseum @MekUniETH collaboration published by @Mammalogists academic.oup.com/jmammal/jma…
This is bullshit. So lazy. You gotta spell out WHY you think it's not worthy of review--you just gotta. That's the rules.
My colleagues may be interested to learn that the enclosed is considered an acceptable review to the editors of @naturemethods; used as basis for editorial decision and forwarded to the authors as is. Oh also, the study did not include any type of meta analysis...
Confirmation bias gets all the headlines, but I think I actually battle falsification bias when I do science.
**runs analysis -> results support hypothesis**
"...naw, can't be... let's go back and tweak shit until the results are believable..."
This weekend I applied a linear mixed effects model that controlled for random and fixed effects to predict the association between explanatory and response variables across four mountain ranges. #selftaught using #Rstats
The ambiguity of "tropics" has always bugged me considering I primarily work on mammals in the mountains of Ethiopia.
Odd that my answer to the question "do you work in the tropics?" would be "...hard to say"
Way to tackle it @kjfeeley

Is this the future of small mammal surveys? "AHDriFT system surveys provided 1.5–5 times more observations per dollar spent and required 90% less time in the field than Sherman trap surveys" #Mammalogy meridian.allenpress.com/jfwm…

This piece is a bit more personal and was very hard for me to write. It is on how Stanford University, my home, failed to live up to its ideals during the pandemic.

Actual COVID update sent today from the university that I am relying on to make me a better scientist.
What’s the goal behind denying access to young adults that haven’t received every booster when it becomes available? Why do they care whether it’s spread by boosted or unboosted individuals?

The CDC now says that due to breakthrough infections and natural immunity there is no reason to treat vaccinated and unvaccinated people differently. Twitter banned users who pointed this out last year. Never forget that people were censored for saying what the CDC is saying now.
Whaddya know... turns out non-charismatic species show up in photographs too

I'm almost alarmed at how frequently students upload the wrong file when submitting assignments. I'm
definitely alarmed when the file they upload is untitled(57).docx #AcademicTwitter

Admin: No, we won't survey students about the return to campus plans or course formats. Their input is too unreliable.
Also admin: No, you can't have student evaluations of your courses be optional this year despite everything that's going on. Student feedback is essential.

Oh, cool! My book with @lukejharmon is already listed online with @PrincetonUPress. That's pretty exciting!

Pretty big milestone today. This morning I sat down and began writing the first sentence of my PhD dissertation. Very satisfied with my progress! I didn't make it to the period, but I'm WELL PAST the comma. #PhD #AcademicTwitter
The admin has police blocking all entrances to their floors @UMassBoston
