"NZ’s glaciers have already lost nearly a third of their ice – as more vanishes, landscapes and lives change". Meantime we have climate change policy of "masterly inactivity" - doing nothing or backpedalling while trying to seem concerned & ready to act. https://t.co/XPaPZNRcUR

@Erin_Macartney_ Good luck hope you get some good insights and something to help

Super interesting and important!

#pruittgate still floating around like a dirty turd in the oceans of eco evo. I'm proud that researchers did the hard yards to reveal this prolific fraud- especially when there is no incentive and it's such a difficult process to forensically examine years of research.

[Dr Zachariah Wylde @wyldescience]

@Erin_Macartney_ Haha I always think about this too. Medical Doctor people ego? Look at me I doctor?!

[Dr Zachariah Wylde @wyldescience]

@itchyshin @coraliewilliams @MethodsEcolEvol Wow @coraliewilliams that's an epic first paper congratulations!

The ‘publish or perish’ mentality is fuelling research paper retractions – and undermining science https://t.co/Yej3BCDTgm via @ConversationEDU

Get in there awesome supervisor and person and really interesting study species.

I am still accepting applications. Thanks 🙏

@DrPeterBentley As an ECR four years out of PhD (also worked industry) I think a large barrier is the lack of postdoctoral funding. ARC grants typically don't give supervisors enough $ for the hire of postdocs (or very short contracts) and the DECRA is practically a lottery! Too much precarity!

@AFProbert Massive news congrats mate!

Our former member Yong Foo and evolutionary biologist extraordinaire Leigh Simmons are advertising a fully funded #PhD project - a great opportunity! @uwanews @BiolSci_UWA @CEB_UWA

Research prizes are opaque and rife with bias — it’s time to shake them up. Great article and certainly in need for improvement. https://t.co/ywdb9mPFxS

[Dr Zachariah Wylde @wyldescience]

@cpaintingnz Wonderful news, massive congratulations, although I think you should automatically be bumped to assoc Professor level!

What a load of sh*t, what on earth is amino foam and how would it benefit my teeth?! Marketing gone mad I think unless someone knows of some scientific evidence for its efficacy?

The Darvaza gas crater, also known as the "Gates of Hell", has been burning for 50 years. A natural gas field that collapsed into a cavern, it is located near Darvaza, Turkmenistan.
