Members of the three major U.S.-based evolutionary biology societies (@sse_evolution, @systbiol, & @ASNAmNat) are currently reviewing a new code of ethics that includes a provision I fear could have a chilling effect on legitimate scientific debate, if misapplied. 1/2

We're sad to announce the passing of Dr. Eric Pianka (1939-2022). He was an evolutionary ecologist of enormous influence who spent his life studying lizards. His obituary is here: https://t.co/xf9DK5sVsI

Really depressing news for those working in biodiversity and natural history sciences. I can’t stress this enough - biodiversity research is an uphill battle. We plug its importance then turn a blind eye to its relevance and work against us at every step.

@NYCuratrix @butch_brodie Thanks Susan,
I am a product of my generation and I need to remember that attitudes and actions that just make me roll my eyes are actually discouraging and hurtful to younger colleagues.
