🔴🔴Alerte info: Nouvelle attaque de la rédaction de Radio BIP / Média 25
Ce soir, à 19:49, des individus ont défoncé la porte de la rédaction à coup de pieds à répétition ce qui a eu comme effet la dégradation de la porte et de la serrure. Notre système de sécurité s'est déclenché ce qui a certainement fait fuir les assaillants qui de toute évidence étaient porteurs de gants coqués
Cette nouvelle attaque montre à quel point les rédactions journalistiques qui parlent des droits humains, subissent des attaques systématiques. Cela intervient après plusieurs dégradations comme la dernière en date, une croix celtique ou une croix gammée
Nous demandons aux autorités de prendre conscience du problème et de ne pas attendre qu'il y ait une agression plus violente envers les journalistes de Radio BIP / Média 25

Une récente étude publiée dans @NatureEcoEvo révèle qu'un tiers à deux tiers des champs agricoles ont des rendements inférieurs à cause du manque de #pollinisateurs. Myrtilles, café et pommes sont les plus affectés. 🔬🐝🍏🫐🌍

Tous les matins sur @franceculture, je fais parler un.e https://t.co/PSRglJaQp7 d'une étude qui vient de paraître dans son domaine, souvent une dont il est co-auteur.trice mais pas toujours.
It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!
A big thank to Pierre de Parscau, the @CNRS & @lemondefr for making this beautiful movie 🎞 that is showcasing the #IMPRINT project @AgenceRecherche on forest microclimates & the cooling effect of trees 🌳🌡📉 The 📽 features the Mormal forest 🇨🇵

No reward - no duties. 75% of respondents have reduced the hours spent on academic duties since 2020 (Nature polls).
Mostly due to burnout and unwillingness to work for free.
This included attending conferences, peer reviewing manuscripts and grant proposals, committees, mentoring and even teaching.
Why?
Because scientists are tired of not being able to do #science.
- Students are tired of being unappreciated and overloaded
- Faculties are tired of “community duties” that become overwhelming (conferences, committees, reviewing, outreach, etc)
And everyone is tired of small salaries, zero empathy and little credit.
The problem is greatly summarized by Isabel Müller (in the article):
“There’s so little acknowledgement that people have difficult, complicated lives outside of work.”
A year ago, Nature described how PhD students don’t want to be postdocs and faculties are leaving academia. Now, we see that those who stayed are trying to resist the system from the inside.
But the problem is - the system is too rigid, too traditional and too elitist.
So, as a community, we can change it only by raising our voices and expressing distaste with the status quo. I applaud Nature for writing about these issues so regularly. The academic world has too many interdependent parts which should be addressed concurrently.
This is why we should stay united and strong as a community.
Regarding the academic environment we all hope to have, I loved how Isabel Müller put it in the article:
- I hope it becomes the new normal to say: “My life matters. My work is an important part, but I decide what my life looks like, not my employer”.

yesterday I noticed problems when trying to open Sci-Hub website: at first, I was thinking that is some DDoS attack, but after checking again today, found out that https://t.co/sMn3Y9oZRN domain that was resistant for many years has been deactivated :(

Qui dit fin d’année dit bilan… Et quel bilan pour le programme #LiDARHD 🤩 En 2022, plus de 136.460Km² ont été volés (64 blocs). Déjà 250.600 km ² (118 blocs) couverts depuis le début des acquisitions en 2021, soit 45% de la surface totale à couvrir [THREAD]
Imagina uma árvore de 88,5 metros de altura. Uma árvore mais alta que o Cristo Redentor. Que a Torre de Pisa. Que um prédio de 30 andares. Ou que a tumba do Olavo de Carvalho. Pois ela existe, tem pelo menos 400 anos, e vive no norte do Pará, na Amazônia. Mas corre perigo.

Today I was giving a course to Master students. I asked them ‘How many different oaks are involved in the make-up of one oak seedling?’ The question would work for any outcrossing flowering plant. By oak I mean any multicellular genetically unique oak organism. Nobody knew…
