@theorecol My body is floating in space / my mind is in orbit with you, face to face.

@obosdaniel Obos sa i 2016 at det skulle være forbudt å selge kontraktsposisjoner https://t.co/9kB444G6SW. Likefullt ligger det tre kontraksposisjoner til salgs (finn) i Symra Terrasse, noen vil tjene en million på å ikke en gang ha eid en leilighet! Hva gjør dere med slikt?

@BiolNor @Forskerforum Jeg synes at det å si at vi trenger 'mer darwinisme' er enda hardere ord. Og der er jeg uenig med henne rent prinsipielt. I tillegg så vil slikt i praksis være veldig vanskelig å gjøre ordentlig og rettferdig, muligens enda vanskeligere om det kommer ansatte ledere utenfra.

Jeg mener Christine Meyer er en svak forsker. Ingen publikasjoner siden 2012, h-index på skarve 12 og i10 på 13. På min gamle institusjon så flommer det over av mennesker som ikke har fast stilling med mye høyere verdier. Hun har blitt professor. Hun burde blitt omplassert. https://t.co/sAXMiHPRv4

- Det bør være en viss darwinisme i akademia, ved at man legger ned svake forskningsmiljøer og omplasserer svake forskere. I dag lar vi det svakeste få lov til å overleve, mener Christine Meyer. Enig? https://t.co/rEuedkh2FO @Forsker @KristianGunder @daghes @jarottingen

Just read Hermansen @josteist @KLVoje and Stenseth study on evolution of Diopsidae eye stalks between males and females and their macroevolutionary response to shifts in sexual selection intensity. Super cool work! https://t.co/GGobIuV4YB

Congratulations to our head of school Mike Benton who is 1 of 5 senior researchers from the @BristolUni to have been awarded over €10M in @ERC_Research Advanced Grants in recognition of their ‘excellent science’ and potentially ground-breaking research. https://t.co/T4KwwoF6QM

Now that's a cost of sexual selection! https://t.co/S02vvXqCtV

High levels of sexual dimorphism linked to higher extinction rate https://t.co/GjWJAeF8iu new evidence in @nature from fossil ostracods.

Awful sight of plastic microfibers in my plankton sample today. Just 2mm long, they form a deadly, zooplankton trapping, drift net that is likely to be eaten by fish to enter the food chain. The scale of this problem cannot be underestimated. @zeiss_micro
