Brian McGill argues that we should review 2 papers for each submission we make to a journal. If your paper gets rejected and you end up submitting to 3 different journals, then you owe the community 6 reviews. I agree with the general principle https://t.co/dZBhkEEbik...

@annekempel @GingerNathi mhlekazi is not your kind of research?

[Kolisa Yola Sinyanya (PhD) 🌍📚🇿🇦 @Kolie_Yola]

Getting a Master's degree is gaining experience. The research, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills developed are highly valuable. Also, there's no such thing as being 'overqualified' if you're applying for positions aligned with your education level!!!

@GlobalChangeBio @TatendaDalu Hearty congrats leadership, this is such a wonderful recognition.

Happy to see our joint South Africa/France (PROTEA) project coming into shape, lots of interesting work on freshwater shrimps (large branchiopods and caridean shrimps) with @SamySomething, @VdeMaz and @rabet_nicolas. We thank the @NRF_News for the funding for the SA side.

I signed too.

[Milan Chytrý @MilanChytry]

There are attempts to change scientific species names because they are considered inappropriate. This document, which I signed with more than 1500 botanists and zoologists, explains four main reasons for preserving the stability of taxonomic nomenclature.

The Kalahari Sands stretch from the equator to South Africa, concealing green islands. With support from the Bezos Earth Fund and others, we're researching Angola's peatlands to assess their carbon storage potential.
