So glad that the first paper from SimNet is out in @Ecology_Letters! We synthesize results of a theoretical biodiversity experiment across 6 very different models! @IMarechaux @adam_t_clark @re_sprout @AkiraSMori @agwirthweigelt and others @idiv

The Ecology and Biodiversity Group @UUBeta @UniUtrecht is hiring two new Assistant Professors!

One focuses on ecological scaling - https://t.co/alEdaDj43e

The other on plant-soil interactions - https://t.co/sHkJeKVUn2

Come join our lovely group of considerate colleagues!

@thiagotoyoyo @KorichevaLab @gqromero @pops_peixoto @fonsvanderplas @re_sprout @DiogoProvete Wow! So happy to see this paper out and loved being a part of the initial conversations! 😻

One of the crazy things about this case (for me at least) is that it doesn't strike me as extraordinary at all. There are so many people (esp. men) like this in Ecology.

@mcewanlab Thanks!! :)

[Katie Barry @quirkus44]

This is my first senior author paper and working with @fonsvanderplas , @HenneckeJustus , and @Jon_Chase03 on it made it a total dream!!

[Katie Barry @quirkus44]

Ever made the assumption that beta diversity is just as likely to support ecosystem functioning as experimentally manipulated alpha diversity? Me too! We explore the circumstances under which we should actually expect positive vs. negative or neutral relationships!

@juliapgjones At UU - they still teach passive voice in the scientific writing courses!

[Julia Jones @juliapgjones]

I just don't get this. Who is teaching students to use the passive voice? Surely it can only be people who have never read any scientific journals. Can someone please explain?

@MixedForests @LSachsenmaier @TreeDi1 So many congratulations Dr. Schnabel! Wish I could have been there to see you shine!
