Saw an amazing talk at the McGill Open science Symposium on the launch of Diamond OA journal @WeAreSeismica by @KeepItRheol! A big takeaway: Publish or Perish + Pay to Play = Pay or Perish

@adamTford I've found the key is using soaked but uncooked chickpeas! This has never failed me

Hot off the press! We used genotype-by-sequencing to assess whether kleptoparasites track the population structure of their inbred social spider host. Another PhD chapter done and dusted!

Calling all (Canadian) data custodians! Do you have eco/evo data with a broad temporal or geographic extent? Is your data of high cultural or societal value? Is your data at risk of extinction, e.g. you’re retiring soon? The Living Data Project can help! (1/4)

@gerlame Thanks!! 🥳

[Sam Straus @SamStraus_Eco]

Closed out my PhD program yesterday! It was a grueling 6+ years, and I couldn't have done it without my amazing community! I spent the afternoon today knitting and I'm beyond excited for a bit of a brain break
