On December 24, 1968, astronaut William Anders of the Apollo 8 mission took an iconic photo, which became known as 'Earthrise'. It is perhaps the most important image ever captured on film. Anders said: "We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth." [1/2]

I was approached re: the Finnish decision to downgrade MDPI & Frontiers journals in 🇫🇮 rankings (THE article). This decision was based on broad patterns, including in our recent study "The strain on scientific publishing" (link: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...) A quick 🧵 1/n #SciPub #AcademicChatter

Describing the phenotype of a long-lived plant can be tricky. My recent paper in @eco-aeet.bsky.social shows that shapes of lifetime fecundity schedules of individual lavender shrubs differ widely among individuals and is subject to phenotypic selection [paper in English] doi.org/10.7818/ECOS...

A little bomb. They're not saying hybridization didn't happen, they're arguing that it hasn't been conclusively shown, as the same patterns can be produced in other ways without Neanderthal admixture. An interesting read. Thoughts? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Have you ever followed the lifespans of a perennial plant? @cmhmaliani.bsky.social followed 128 plants over 38 yrs & showed that certain lifetime trajectories had fitness advantages! Published in a "low-impact" journal @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social www.revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec... 🧪🌍🌿🌾🌱

"El periodista canadiense Carl Honoré (1967), autor del long-seller 'Elogio de la lentitud' (2004)..., señala que ser lento no significa hacer las cosas de forma parsimoniosa o exageradamente pausada, sino dedicar a cada tarea el tiempo que requiere, sin ir a contrarreloj, ni más ni menos."

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !
